Dog Training

Certified professional training tailored to your home—without one-size-fits-all classes.

As a Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA), I work directly with you and your dog where it matters most: your home. Whether you are building foundational manners, tackling complex behavior concerns, or navigating puppyhood, every package is completely customized to your goals.

Dog Training

The Tail-Blazers Training Difference

• POSITIVE, SCIENCE-BASED METHODS: Effective, reward-based techniques that build real focus and trust without force or intimidation.

• IN-HOME CONVENIENCE: We work directly in your environment—addressing real-life triggers like door-barking, yard reactivity, and daily routines.

• CUSTOM BEHAVIOR PLANS: Tailored strategies for everything from foundational manners and puppyhood to complex behavior modification.

• HANDS-ON OWNER COACHING: You get direct guidance and actionable feedback so you feel 100% confident continuing the progress on your own.

PRIVATE SESSIONS

• 4-SESSION PACKAGE — $350 (+tax): Four 1-hour sessions. Best for basic manners, puppy guidance, or targeted leash skills.

• 6-SESSION PACKAGE — $450 (+tax): Six 1-hour sessions. Best for complex behavior goals, reactive behavior, or deep habit building.

• SINGLE SESSION — $110 (+tax): One 1-hour session. Great for focused problem-solving or a single specific issue.

• FOLLOW-UP SESSION — $90 (+tax): One 1-hour session. Exclusive per-session rate available after completing any package.

*Payment Terms: For ALL packages, a 50% deposit is required at the first session, with the remaining 50% due at the final session.

DAY TRAINING PROGRAM — $650 (+tax)

Get the results of a traditional board-and-train program without ever having to send your dog away. Designed for busy professionals, this high-touch service accelerates learning directly in your home—and you don't even need to be home while I work!

• INTAKE & GOAL ALIGNMENT: An initial intake call before training begins to establish your specific goals.

• INTENSIVE SCHEDULE: I work 1-on-1 with your dog for 45 minutes, 3 days a week, for 3 consecutive weeks.

• SEAMLESS OWNER TRANSFER: Includes a dedicated 1-hour wrap-up session at the end to teach you how to maintain every new skill.

• ONGOING UPDATES: Receive detailed progress notes and summary reports after every single session.

• BEST FOR: High-energy puppies, stubborn habits, leash reactivity, and comprehensive manners.

Training Success Stories

I have nothing but positive things to say about Tail-Blazers and the owner Danielle. She did a remarkable job turning around the behavior of my French Bulldog. She's very patient and has a wonderful grasp of how to deal with dog issues. If anyone is in need of training, I am referring them to Danielle and Tail-blazers. The service she provides is phenomenal and well worth it.

Tulip is like an entirely different dog after a session with Danielle. Our friends and family are constantly complimenting Tulip’s calmness, friendliness, and for overall being *the best girl* - that’s all because of Danielle’s dedication and ability to tailor her training for Tulip’s learning style and our goals. We can’t recommend her enough! 🌷🐶

Danielle is incredibly kind, patient, and knowledgeable, answering any and all questions we have during and between our sessions. She's given us the tools we need to help Ivy grow into a more confident dog, and the progress we’re already seeing is remarkable! The care, dedication, and love she has for animals comes through in every aspect of her training. I truly can't recommend her enough and look forward to more sessions with her!
