Dogs who are displaying aggression with teeth showing, snarling and barking, are unnerving to most of us and can be embarrassing if we’re out in public with a reactive, teeth baring pet. After all, dogs are our companions and we sometimes forget that they also have a powerful set of teeth that they can call upon when threatened. Dogs display aggressive behavior to create space. Either they want someone to leave, or they are willing to leave. Whichever the case, {Read More}

Among my favorite types of clients to work with is one who has a dog who’s reactive to other dogs on leash. The kind of dog that makes a person want to crawl into a hole in the ground the minute the dog starts throwing his barky, growly display at the dog coming down the street or around the corner or out the door of a house he’s passing by. I know the embarrassing feeling. I’ve had a couple of {Read More}

We found Love Wags a Tail thanks to AI, looking for a place to send our 1 year old puppy for training. We tried training him to go on a wee wee, but he just couldn't get with the program. Right off the bat it was apparent that Helen is a pro. Before we even dropped Lando off, she requested a good amount of information so she could adequately prepare for him. We exchanged emails, photos, videos and had a few phone conversations. Helen sent us videos of Lando and his progress, and every video had lesson or idea to it, something we could watch and rewatch when Lando got home, so the training didn't go out the window. Helen answered all of our many questions, using examples and many details. If you want a place to just drop off your dog and hope some time later it knows some commands, this is not the place. If you want to work with a professional, who cares about your dog's welfare as much as you do, and set you up for lasting success, then Helen is the person to work with. Her approach is with love and care, and very individualized, which is exactly what our dog needed. We’re very happy with our experience with Helen and next time we get a puppy, we know who to call.

I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Wags A Tail! I was incredibly nervous about leaving my puppy, Jeffrey, for three weeks while I was out of the country. Being a first-time puppy parent, the thought of being away from him was stressful—but working with Helen completely eased my worries. From the very beginning, Helen was warm, kind, and genuinely loving toward Jeffrey. Throughout his stay, she sent me regular updates, photos, and training videos so I could follow along with his progress. It was such a comfort knowing he was not only being well cared for, but also continuing to learn and grow in such a positive environment. You can truly tell Helen loves what she does. She treated Jeffrey like one of her own, and that kind of care is priceless. I’m beyond grateful and wouldn’t hesitate for a second to trust her with him again. Highly recommend Wags A Tail to anyone looking for a loving, professional, and reliable place for their dog!

We brought Lexi to Helen for a number of challenges. She did not do well on a leash, counter surfed food and was not completely housed trained. Lexi is a rescue who is very friendly and has a great personality. Helen explained the training regiment in detail. She sent us numerous video updates on Lexi's progress and how to keep her progress going when we got her home. When we went to pick her up, Helen spent at least an hour showing us the right way to continue her training. She only trains two dogs at a time and live with her during the entire process. Lexi is now much improved on the leash, counter surfing and house training. We would highly recommend Helen for any dog issues.

Helen was wonderful with my sweet Frenchie, Topanga. I rescued her a few months back and was told she was around 2 years old. She had no training and I was having a tough time potty training her myself. From the first time I spoke to Helen, I could tell she was experienced, knowledgeable, and passionate about dog training. It’s hard to give away your fur baby for 3 weeks, but I knew Topanga was in good hands. She’s been home 5 days now, and she’s doing so great! No accidents in the home, and even learned to sit and wave. I highly recommend Helen.

My experience with Helen was absolutely incredible. I dropped off my 3 month old puppy for two weeks as I wanted a good basis for training. Helen taught her how to walk on a leash, down, as well as helping with house training. More so, my dog was in a healthy and happy environment. Having her train with Helen was great. Helen would send me very thorough updates with pictures and videos! I cannot recommend her enough.

I am so glad to have found Helen. She was able to get our spoiled 2 year old Cavalier on a schedule and crate trained! I did a tremendous amount of research looking for someone who trains with positive reinforcement and NO shock or pain. Her Board and Train and Teach program was worth every cent! She is very knowledgeable and is a great teacher. Highly recommended.

I can’t say enough amazing things about Helen! I adopted a puppy for the first time and was looking for help with basic puppy obedience and manners. I really felt like I had no idea what I was doing. I was very nervous to have my puppy boarded away from me, but Helen made me feel very comfortable. She is so knowledgeable, warm and accommodating. She kept in touch with me much more than I expected over the two week boarding and I could see how happy my puppy was with her (which put me more at ease). I was reunited with happy, healthy, and well mannered puppy. Helen’s videos and suggestions set a foundation for me to keep up with and refer back to. I feel so much more prepared to raise a good boy! I’ve already started recommending her to my friends and family!

Very professional dog trainer. Was really impressed how much my dog’s behavior changed. A bit of a drive to get to her, but worth it. Tony Clemente.
