Meet The Dog Trainers

My name is Sarah. I have been around animals my entire life, I started working with horses and dogs when I was 12 and did training and showing for 6 years. In my early 20 I went to full time work with dogs, studying behavior, training and observation. I have been training for the last 16 yrs. Dogs are my life and passion. I’m so excited to work with Happy Tailz and get to spend all my time helping dogs and building great relationships with dogs and their owners!

Hi, my name is Bri. I graduated from the University of Wisconsin-River Falls in May 2021 with a Bachelor's Degree in Companion Animal Science. I have a versatile knowledge of dogs with my 8 years of experience in animal rescue, 3 years in veterinary work, 3 years in dog daycare, and 3 years of dog training. I continue to attend training seminars and conferences to further my knowledge and keep up to date on the newest research in the animal behavior field. As a trainer, I wholeheartedly believe that I can achieve my clients’ desired results without ever inflicting pain, fear or intimidation on the dogs. My ultimate goals as a trainer are to bridge the communication gap between humans and dogs in addition to making the lives of dogs and their owners a more comfortable one!
 

Hi, I’m Brandon! I graduated from Animal Behavior College in 2022 as a Certified Dog Trainer, but have cared for dogs my entire life. Besides having my own, my family opened a boarding Kennel in 2014 where I have been involved since its inception, including managing full-time from November 2020-March 2023 working with dogs, and owners, of all different ages, shapes, sizes, and temperaments. It is my goal to ensure dogs, and their owners, are calm, comfortable, and confident with strong communication using the most positive, harm-free methods possible. I look forward to meeting you and your dog(s)!

Hey there! My name is Sarah. I have been working with dogs since I was 17 and started out working at doggy day cares. I fell in love with training after adopting my first rescue at 18 years old and graduated from Animal Behavior College in 2009. From there, I worked with different rescues, training puppies and helping with reactive dogs. I have fostered, trained, owned, and worked with just about every size, breed, and temperament I can think of. I had a brief time where I worked as a makeup artist and helped out with training dogs on a couple movie sets as well. But, at the end of the day, I just love seeing dogs personalities and confidence grow through training and seeing the relationship with their owner become even stronger. I believe you can train any dog to do anything with enough patience, time, and love. Every dog deserves to feel confident and happy for the entire time we are blessed to have them in our lives and I’m so lucky to help people achieve that. I cannot wait to meet you and all your pups!
