Happy Tailz Dog Training - Richmond, VA
Welcome to Happy Tailz Dog Training in Richmond, Virginia, where I specialize in strengthening the bond between you and your beloved pets through effective positive reinforcement techniques. With a Bachelor of Science in Wildlife Biology earned in 2011, I combine my scientific knowledge with hands-on experience to create a training approach that focuses on muscle memory and leadership. Over the years, I have successfully trained more than 2,000 dogs, 24 cats, and even 2 pigs, proving that learning is beneficial for animals of all ages—though I recommend starting training when your pet is at least 8 weeks old to ensure their well-being.
As an AKC Canine Good Citizen Evaluator and certified in Dog and Cat CPR/First Aid, I prioritize safety and quality in all my training sessions. I offer tailored seminars and workshops designed to meet the unique needs of each pet parent and their furry companions. Whether you require dog obedience training or service dog training, my expertise ensures that your pet receives the highest standard of education at an affordable rate. I also provide the convenience of online sessions, making it easier for you to engage in training from the comfort of your home. My services extend throughout the Richmond area, ensuring that I can reach you wherever you are located.
I am dedicated to making the training process enjoyable and effective for both you and your pets. Thank you for considering me for your pet’s training needs. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you and your furry friends to create a harmonious household. Ready to get started? Book through Petworks today!
