About Tails of Success Dog Training

Tails of Success organizes itself by problem rather than by package, which makes it easy to tell at a glance whether it handles what you are dealing with.

The six programs

Puppy work – "Tails of Success can help your pup learn basic manners early on." Behavior – "Teaching you what makes your dog tick so you can address behavior problems at the source!" Socialization gets its own lane, framed as a skill owners get wrong: "Socialization: What is it? Why is it important? Let us show you the "do's" and "don'ts"!" Separation anxiety is treated as a diagnosis rather than a nuisance: "Getting to the root of separation anxiety: why it happens and what we can do to help." Then the hard end – "Whether it's biting, lunging, aggression towards people or other dogs, Tails of Success is ready to teach you how to work on these behaviors." And finally family life: "Whether a new puppy or a new baby, there's a lot that Tails of Success can do to help a growing family get their dog to behave well around the kids!"

Case write-ups instead of slogans

The site publishes short structured accounts of individual dogs – name, breed, age, training goals, length of training, results – which is far more informative than a testimonial wall. One describes a five-year-old Dalmatian whose "owner couldn't walk him or take him anywhere as he would constantly bark and pull towards people going by"; another follows a rescued older Pomeranian mix working on "addressing general anxiety issues and good manners"; a third tracks a seven-month-old Dachshund on "Leash walking, good manners, training to safely interact with children" over a year. Reading three or four of them tells you what the work actually looks like week to week.

Background

The trainer's own account of how the business started is on the site, beginning with a rescue dog displaced to Virginia after Hurricane Harvey while they were working as a handler at a local dog daycare. Client testimonials name the trainer, but the site itself does not formally introduce them by name and claims no certification, so ask who will be working with you.
