Furry Tail: Training For Dogs and Cats - Wildomar, CA
At Furry Tail Training: For Dogs and Cats, I offer basic obedience training using positive reinforcement techniques to help dogs and cats thrive in everyday life. This force-free, science-based approach motivates pets to learn by earning rewards, not avoiding punishment, creating a stronger, stress-free bond between pet and guardian.
Each program is customized to your pet’s individual needs, temperament, and learning style. I teach you how to use what your dog or cat already loves—treats, toys, and praise—as motivation to reinforce desired behaviors and build lasting habits.
Training Includes:
Basic obedience cues (sit, stay, come, leave it, etc.)
Familiarization with everyday handling tools like toothbrushes, nail trimmers, and grooming brushes
Practical solutions to common behavior issues such as digging, excessive barking, jumping, counter surfing, and more
Guidance for improving social skills and building confidence in real-world settings
All training begins with a personalized consultation to understand your pet's history, environment, and goals. Sessions are held at Canyon Hills Community Park or in the comfort of your own home, making training convenient and effective.

How did you hone your craft?
My training journey began over 20 years ago through hands-on animal care in zoological and rescue settings, where I worked with species ranging from exotic wildlife to shelter pets. I earned multiple certifications—including in dog and cat training, Fear Free animal handling, and as a certified Pet First Aid & CPR instructor—and deepened my understanding of behavior and learning theory through a psychology degree from San Diego State University. I’ve spent the past decade refining my skills through professional experience, continuing education, and working with real-world clients and pets. From training shelter dogs for adoption to helping families create harmony between their pets at home, I combine science-backed methods with compassionate, customized guidance. My focus is on positive reinforcement, force-free behavior modification, and improving the human-animal bond—one tail at a time.
What tip would you give pet parents for working with animals that you've learned as a pro?
The best tip I can give pet parents is: build trust first. Whether you're training a dog, a cat, or any companion animal, trust is the foundation of learning. Use positive reinforcement—reward what you like instead of punishing what you don't. Be patient, consistent, and always observe your pet’s body language. Progress may seem slow at times, but celebrating the small wins creates a positive experience for both of you. A strong human-animal bond leads to better behavior, reduced stress, and a happier home.
What is one thing you want pet parents to know about you? It can be whatev-fur you'd like!
What I want pet parents to know is that I truly see your pets as individuals—with their own personalities, fears, quirks, and motivators. With over 20 years of experience working with animals (from wildlife to rescue pets), and more than a decade as a certified trainer, I bring a compassionate, force-free approach that focuses on understanding behavior, not controlling it. I'm here to support you just as much as your furry family member, because training is a team effort—and I’ll be with you every step of the way.
