About Happy Tails Dog Training and More

Happy Tails Dog Training and More is Liz's practice on the Sand Creek Road corridor in Albany, and its position is stated without hedging: 100% positive reinforcement, for puppies and adult dogs alike.

What is offered

The published services are private dog training, dog boarding with training, group dog training and puppy socialization classes, with prices published on the site rather than quoted on the phone.

In-home is the default

The core product is personalized in-home training tailored to the family's lifestyle, home environment and the dog's needs – which matters because most of the problems the site names are house problems: potty training, leash walking, biting, jumping, separation anxiety and recall.

Who it suits

The published emphasis is on first-time dog owners, families with children, and rescue or high-energy dogs, with patience named as the thing clients single out. Liz says she has lived in Colonie for over eighteen years, that she went to college for animal behavior and dog training, and that the path started with a severely abused dog she adopted over ten years ago and spent two years training.
