Northern Tails Dog Training

Certification Council For Professional Dog Trainers

"Northern Tails has been a blessing to my family. We are the typical busy corporate couple that greatly appreciates the loving care our dog, Teva, receives each time we must travel. When we return, Teva displays the obvious results of the expert training Lisa provides. If I want Teva to learn something new or refresh something she already knows, Lisa "takes care of it" while we are gone.

Lisa is honest and positive. Her calming attitude has been my sanity through puppy-hood. Lisa is never shy to tell me how I might improve my training skills, yet still always encourages me by telling me the good things I am doing with Teva as well. I can’t say enough about Lisa and her services.

Board and Train

Are you feeling overwhelmed at the prospect of adding dog training to your busy schedule? A board and train program might be the answer!

Dogs who come here for Boarding and Training receive undivided attention. I generally only take one dog at a time. Occasionally, there will be two or three at a time, depending on the ages and temperaments of the dogs. Boarding dogs sleep in crate in the house - not in outside kennels. During the day they will socialize with well-mannered resident dogs in-between training sessions, which is particularly valuable for bratty adolescent dogs and dogs that are a little shy.

The location is a quiet, peaceful country setting with three large fenced areas around the house and training building for dogs to romp, train and play in.

Training methods are dog-friendly, force-free and focus on positive reinforcement. I do not use electronic shock collars (E-collars), physical punishment or harsh leash corrections.
