If this feels familiar, you’re in the right place

✖ You take your dog on a walk and it turns into a struggle instead of something you enjoy.
✖ You have guests over and feel like you’re constantly managing your dog instead of being present.
✖ You repeat commands over and over, but nothing sticks.
✖ You know your dog is capable of more—but you’re not sure how to get there.

It’s frustrating. It’s overwhelming.
And it makes everyday life harder than it needs to be…

You’re in the right place because this is where everything starts to change.

Every dog has thier own swagger…

Sometimes they just need the right guidance to find it in a way that allows them to thrive and understand how to listen.

Our job is to help your dog become calm, confident, and reliable—while helping you become the leader they've been waiting for.

Our programs focus on building a strong foundation your dog can understand and you can continue to maintain at home.

Our Training Programs

Start your puppy off the right way from day one. This program is designed for new puppy owners who want to avoid the chaos, confusion, and bad habits that usually come with the early months.
Instead of guessing your way through it, we help your puppy start with structure, routine, and clear expectations from the beginning.
Your puppy comes home:
• More settled and comfortable in the crate
• On a consistent potty routine (no more guessing)
• Beginning to understand structure and boundaries
• More responsive and easier to guide on leash
• Set up with a foundation you can continue to build on
We build that through:
• Crate training and daily structure
• Introduction to impulse control and threshold manners
• Intro to leash manners to start understand how to walk.
• A clear and consistent potty schedule
• Name recognition and engagement
This program is the starting point.

For dogs that feel overwhelming, unpredictable, or hard to manage.

Your dog comes home:
• More stable, calmer, and easier to live with
• Less reactive and more responsive to guidance

Best for owners who want to be actively involved every step of the way while still receiving professional daily training.

This unique program combines professional daily training with hands-on owner coaching, creating lasting results that extend far beyond the program itself. If you're ready to become a confident leader alongside your dog, the Academy offers the perfect balance of expert training and real-life application.

What life can look like after training….

Training is not just about commands. It is about creating a dog you can confidently live with every day.

✔ Walks without constant pulling or frustration
✔ A calmer dog inside the home
✔ Better behavior around guests, kids, and distractions
✔ Clear communication between you and your dog
✔ Confidence handling your dog in public
✔ A stronger relationship built on structure and trust

This is not about perfection. It is about finally feeling calm, clear, and in control.

We believe real change happens when owners understand how to lead with clarity, consistency, and confidence.

Our approach builds:

• Trust
• Structure
• Communication
• Confidence

You don’t just get a trained dog —
You gain the tools to maintain the results for life.

Why this works when other training has not…

Most training fails because it only focuses on commands.

At Tail Swaggers, we focus on communication, structure, and follow-through. Your dog does not just need to know what “sit” means. They need to understand how to make better choices in everyday life. That is where real change happens.

Clear Communication

Your dog learns what is expected through consistent guidance, structure, and fair communication.

Real-World Practice

Training happens in the same types of environments your dog will face after the program — not just in one controlled space.

Owner Leadership

You are coached through the process so you feel confident maintaining your dog’s progress at home.

This is not a facility. This is real life.

Your dog does not just learn commands here. They learn how to live.

Instead of training in a high-volume facility, your dog trains and stays in a real home environment. That means they experience daily routines, household structure, leash walks, public outings, and the same types of distractions they will face when they return home.

This allows us to build results that actually transfer into your everyday life.

This isn’t for everyone—and that’s intentional.

This program is for you if…

✔ You are tired of managing your dog every day
✔ Walks feel frustrating, stressful, or out of control
✔ Your home feels chaotic because your dog lacks structure
✔ You want clear communication instead of constant correction
✔ You are ready to follow through after training
✔ You value quality, consistency, and long-term results

We intentionally work with a limited number of clients to ensure every dog receives the attention, care, and consistency they deserve.

This may not be the right fit if…

✖ You are looking for the cheapest option
✖ You want a quick fix without changing your habits
✖ You are not ready to be consistent after your dog comes home
✖ You only want commands without structure
✖ You are not open to owner coaching

The dog’s training matters, but your follow-through is what protects the results.

It is exactly what it sounds like….balanced. It’s a balanced approach to training and modifying behavior in your dog. As a balanced dog trainer, I reward for the positive and the behaviors that I want to keep seeing, and correct for the unwanted behaviors (barking, pulling, jumping, digging, leash reactivity, resource guarding, aggression, etc) that I don’t want to see.

Corrections do not mean pain though, instead, it involves teaching a dog that actions have consequences and the right choices equal good things! It’s very similar to parenting. If you only rewarded your child and never gave them consequences for bad behavior, there is a good chance that your child will continue doing that behavior. In the same way you tell a child “don’t do that”, we have to communicate with our dog.

However, our dogs communicate differently than we do. They are touch learners first, and verbal learners last; whereas we are verbal learners first and touch learners last. So, our dogs communicate best through training tools like a slip leash, prong collar, or e collar (not a shock collar). This is why balanced trainers have so much success when training dogs because we can communicate with your dog using positive rewards and corrections in the timing that your dog learns best, which happens to be 1.3 seconds. The reality of it is, at some point your dog needs a correction, and when done properly, with the right energy your dog will learn what is and isn’t expected of them.

As a balanced trainer, I have a tool box of tools to use, and depending on the dog I am working with, I will use different tools and techniques to find that right combination to help empower owners to live their best life with their dog.
Yes of course. I offer financing through Klarna and AfterPay for all of my programs so you can book your dog's training date and pay off the program on your own time!
Treats, slip leash, clickers, prong collars, and e collars.
E collar stands for electric collar and uses and electrical stimulation (like a tens unit system), not a shock. The e collar has 100 levels on it whereas a shock collar only has a few levels and it is actually shocking your dog. The e collar costs about $200 and a shock collar ranges from $30-$70. Most dog trainers use E collar Technologies or Dogtra, and for a good reason. The quality of these collars are the best in the industry. Remember, your dog is a touch learner first which is what the e collar provides for you. It is the best tool to communicate to your dog at low levels in the timing that they learn best, it stops unwanted behaviors, it acts as an invisible leash, it provides safety and a better relationship with your dog. However, it is extremely important to introduce an e collar to your dog properly so that it can be associated to a positive. If you don’t know how to introduce an e collar to your dog properly, reach out to a trainer to help you!
