I recently saw a quote on Facebook that read : "There are those that tell you what to think and…read morethere are those that will teach you how to think. The first type of person wants power and your dependancy and the second type wants to empower you to live independently." This describes perfectly, my experience with Brian Fleming and his approach to reactive dogs and their owners. To teach a dog autonomy is teaching empowerment. It's really too bad more trainers don't get into the true psychology of dogs and why they act the way they do and instead, focus on nipping the behavior by any means necessary. The difference in his approach leaves you in a true partnership with your canine companion with an understanding of what their behavior stems from. Not only did he maintain control without touching the dog, but he asked background questions about everything from sleeping arrangements to everyday habits that most of us regard as "cute" and not relevant. He educated us in regards to our own contribution to his behavior that we were previously clueless about. All this in the very first one on one session. Having a larger breed reactive dog is draining and as a result we may make bad choices thinking we are helping when in fact we are making things far worse. The only way to know is to go to a true canine behavorist like Brian that is rare in the world of training and gadgets. I can't thank him enough and feel very relieved that my dog is on his way to a better, happier life therefore making ours exactly the same. Thank you again Brian.

Their ability to work with your schedule, be flexible, and simply just go above and beyond is what prompted this review. About a week and a half ago my mother broke her fibula and ankle, sweeping her off her feet for at least 2 months. I contacted Calia after 5pm on a Saturday and before my mother was even discharged, Cali was able to rework my walks and help get my mothers dogs (new clients) on the schedule for walks and check ins. She brought a sense of calm to a very hectic situation; I was incredibly grateful for that. We will be furever part of the Tails n Trails family.

After having my dog a few months, I began to notice undesirable behaviors that I wanted to work on with a professional trainer. I listed these behaviors and weighed the options of a group class vs. in home training. Jim focuses on positive reinforcement training which is very appealing to me. Jim has a very reasonable starter package of 3 lessons. He came out for an evaluation of Alibi first. Since starting her lessons, my dog has developed significantly and my ability to control her has increased as well. After working with Jim, you can tell he has a genuine passion for what he does and that he basically understands and loves dogs. My Rottie loves him too.

I signed up for a group class and upon arrival of the first class I was told I was the only participant registered. No class was prepared and it turned out to be a waste of time. They offered to bump me over to a different class that had a few people signed up. It was described as a class for dogs with their basic commands down but needing practice on keeping focused. To say the class was dysfunctional is an understatement. There were two extremely reactive dogs that barked intensely through the entire class, and a third dog being kept in a crate a few feet behind me, who also barked the entire class. The dog next to us was consistently lunging and barking at my 1 year old pup, which of course was making her very scared. I voiced my concerns within the first few minutes, and was told the dogs would settle down once class began. Unfortunately, that didn't happen. The instructor was unable to speak for long periods because of the level of noise from the barking dogs, I had to take multiple breaks as my puppy was getting very nervous (really the exact opposite of what you would hope for in a group class experience that should be geared towards building confidence, not fear). We stuck it out for the entire class, which ended up being only 3 five minute exercises. My dog could not have been more ready to get out of there. After that experience, I emailed the owner of the business, Karen McCarthy. I expressed my concerns and disappointment with the two failed classes. Her response was pretty bizarre and extremely defensive. After a few back and forth emails, I decided this was just not a good fit and asked to be refunded, since they did not deliver anything close to what I had been told I was paying for. She has since stopped responding to my emails and cannot be reached by the phone either, it is definitely the most negative and bizarre situation I've ever experienced. Do not waste your time and money here!
