What Customers Are Saying
Our rescue dog Max was extremely reactive to other dogs. Fun relaxing walks would quickly turn into stress-filled episodes of vicious lunging, snapping. I felt terribly embarrassed and wondered if there was any hope Then we found High Tail. The results were miraculous, Max can now co-exist in peace with other dogs and doesn’t even react anymore! I needed to understand how to work with his issues so he could learn to trust. He needed kindness, understanding, and consequences. He is a special dog with a unique past and I think the trainers at High Tail understood him. They keep it positive and make sure your dog is having a good time while learning. It was a great experience and I highly recommend them. They can probably help with most problems pretty quickly, I was extremely impressed and grateful that Max and I have a new life ahead full of fun walks. Thank you High Tail!

Flint, our nine-month-old German Shepherd, learned a lot during the six-week group class. His basic obedience has greatly improved, but just as important, he has become more relaxed around other dogs. Debra and Baylie took the time during class to give individual attention wherever it was needed. Debra also offered us individual instruction, which was very helpful. We are going to return periodically for the controlled experience with other dogs, but also to polish Flint’s obedience. Thank you both, Debra and Baylie!

I wanted to let you know Debra that after working with you for 3 private lessons, Gus has been amazing! Walking, not pulling, sitting, following commands, being near multiple dogs, settling….he’s a new dog!! The walks over these past four days have been enjoyable and relaxed. Thank you so much for all your help!

Debra and Bailey taught me the skills and gave me the confidence to progress in training my pup, Riffle. I very much enjoyed working with them and highly recommend their group class. Thanks High Tail! : )

Obedience Training was just what we needed. I adopted a terrier mix from Butte Humane. A real live wire! High Tail Training helped me learn to reinforce his positive behaviors. He’s a calmer dog now & I am a more confident dog parent. It was fun to see other dogs learn as well in their group obedience class.

I now believe in miracles. For months we have tried to teach Story (100 pound black Lab) to load up. Very frustrating. We bought expensive dog stairs-didn’t work. Dog treats, hamburgers, tons of positive reinforcement and finally even crawled in myself—still no luck. I was put in contact with Debra at High Tail and within 30 minutes of working with him she accomplished what seemed like an impossibility. Using positive reinforcement and repetition within 30 minutes she had Story eagerly loading up and ready to go for a ride. In addition she gave me clear instructions and watched to be sure I was successful. Debra has excellent communication skills and it was a pleasure to watch her develop rapport with Story. Her years of experience make her a valued trainer for any situation. I highly recommend Debra. Five Stars+

I had a truly wonderful experience working with Debra at High Tail! My puppy was very high energy, and things like recall became an issue as he got old enough to walk. Within just a few short weeks of working with Debra, my pup became a focused, obedient, polite little guy. I had hoped to establish a healthy foundation for his behaviors moving forward, and High Tail exceeded expectations. Going out and socializing is now a joyful experience as opposed to a stressful one… he can even walk off leash without issue! So very thankful to Debra and High Tail.

Debra has been amazing with my dog! She is kind and understanding. She makes sure to explain things clearly and show you how to do what she is asking. My dog loves her! Thank you!

Bella is what Debra calls a “spirited” mini Aussie Shepherd puppy. I can now enjoy walking with Bella without her constantly nipping at my heels. People say the training is for the owner and I’ve learned a lot from Debra about how to effectively discipline Bella. After five private lessons I can now walk her at heel. I am currently doing the six week group class to expose her to other dogs.

High Tail Dog Training has been a wonderful experience. Debra does a great job at sharing her knowledge and gives you the right tools it takes to get your dog trained and well behaved. You can tell she has a deep care and understanding for dogs. We signed our pup, Lou, up for the individual class, by the third class we noticed a huge improvement in her behavior around leash aggression and by the fifth class we felt confident with her new manners and social skills that we signed her up for the group class that she now thrives in. Highly recommend High Tail Dog Training.

Debra is amazing and overall a great trainer! My dog learned to sit, heal with a leash properly, and be around other dogs so calmly in just a couple of classes because of her teaching techniques. I would highly recommend High Tail Training! 🙂 I’m even taking my dog to round 2 of obedience training class.

I can’t say how grateful I am for Debra as it is beyond words. We adopted a 5 month old puppy that was found as a stray and has undiagnosed medical issues. She barked uncontrollably at other people and dogs that were not a part of her household. Debra took her on without hesitation and not only trained the dog but me too. We can now go to the park, walk around the neighborhood and have other doggie friends. She is a completely different dog thanks to Debra.

Debra at High Tail dog training was amazing. From the first lesson Zulu was showing improvement and wasn’t pulling on the leash. He responded so well to Debra. I am now able to walk around others and he behaves and doesn’t jump on every one.
I had done other training but Zulu only behaved at the training session. Debra came to our street which is full of cats and squirrels and he learned to behave every where. I highly recommend Debra and High Tail.
Kristine BD.
Debra was a godsend! My Rottweiler puppy started to react badly towards people screaming as though she was being hurt. With Debra’s knowledge and patience, Lilah learned that people aren’t going to hurt her, now allowing strangers to pet her without fear! Her knowledge of the basic obedience commands is much improved. I’d highly recommend High Tail Dog training for any breed of dog.

Debra is beyond fabulous. What we’ve learned in our 6 week lessons is just short of amazing. Soo thankful to have the tools she taught me to help now with my other new puppy.
