Force Free - Reward Based Dog Training - Chester, NJ

Member since Feb 2024

Reward based, fear free, force free dog training and behavior consulting by Ally Mentlik, CTC, FFCP. I'm an honors graduate of The Academy for Dog Trainers and a Fear Free Certified Professional Trainer. I can't wait to help you and your dog!

From a recently thrilled pet parent: "Ally instills confidence in me as a dog owner and truly teaches me how to understand what my dogs are experiencing and thinking when they behave certain ways. I have recommended Learning Tails to many of my friends personally, and am happy to recommend her to anyone seeking help managing their dogs. She also follows up sessions with notes emailed about what we discussed, so I can look back on things we talked about as it’s obviously overwhelming to try and remember everything we covered! Thank you, Ally, for ensuring our dogs have success in our home."

Please contact and book me on Petworks. Thank You.
