Beth got her start in behavior consulting and training at a local shelter and has never looked back from there. She loves working with all animal species, but specializes in dogs and cats. The more she learns about animal behavior, the more she loves it, and is passionate about sharing her knowledge with the world. She has since decided she can help more animals by starting her own business and being more flexible with the clients and animals she works with. Her goal is to improve the relationships of all the members of the family she’s working with and help them find solutions that are functional for their every day life without feeling like a burden.
Training Philosophy
At Ear To Tail, we take pride in being as up to date as possible on current research and practices to give you the best chances of success. We follow evidence based positive reinforcement techniques in our training. That means we never use aversives and will never put you or your pet in an uncomfortable situation.
Services
We offer a variety of behavior packages that are designed to be customized for you.
Every tier is designed as a monthly subscription service, but it is always month to month and you can stop or start as needed. When a package is purchased it is required to be used in full within the month, so use them or lose them. Individual appointments will be scheduled in advance, but should they need to be moved around we are willing to be flexible, just communicate your needs and we’ll be happy to work within them! And of course, if you ever have any questions or concerns, we are just a text, email, or phone call away!
