Training That Strengthens the Bond You Share
Welcome - I'm glad you're here ​​
​
My training program focuses on relationship-based methods that foster clear communication between you and your dog. My goal is to empower owners with the knowledge and confidence to understand your dog's behaviors and guide them to success. I believe great training isn't about quick fixes or rigid rules - it's about a connection rooted in trust, clarity, and compassion.
Whether you're raising a puppy, navigating behavior challenges, or simply wanting a deeper connection with your dog,
​ I'm here to support you every step of the way.

About
My name is Erin, the proud owner of Training Tails. I reside in Arizona with my husband our two dogs, Nalu and Lola. My journey with dogs began over 12 years ago as a dog walker, kennel technician, daycare attendant and more. As a trainer, I have experience handling a wide range of dogs, from potty training puppies to more serious behavioral cases. I am an active member of the International Association of Canine Professionals (IACP), and committed to continual learning and promotion of safe and effective training methods. I look forward to helping you and your furry friend thrive together!

What Our Clients Say
"If you’re looking for the absolute best dog trainer, look no further than Training Tails! Working with Erin was such an incredible experience from start to finish. She is not only highly professional and knowledgeable, but also genuinely kind, patient, and passionate about what she does. What really stood out to us was Erin’s ability to tailor the training specifically to our dog, Oreo, and to our family’s unique needs. It never felt like a one-size-fits-all program—everything was thoughtful, personalized, and clearly designed with care. We signed Oreo up for train-and-board program, and it exceeded every expectation. Erin sent daily photos and videos, which meant so much to us—it truly felt like we were part of Oreo’s journey the entire time and helped us not miss our puppy quite so much. That level of communication and care made all the difference. Erin made the entire process enjoyable and empowering. She took the time to explain everything, answered all our questions, and gave us the confidence to continue reinforcing what Oreo learned. We saw such wonderful progress, and it’s all thanks to her expertise and dedication.
We truly enjoyed every session with her and couldn’t be happier with the results. Erin is exceptional at what she does, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled and compassionate dog trainer. We will absolutely be calling her again in a heartbeat!"
