FirstBarkWe took our yellow lab puppy to Southern Tails for obedience training and had a wonderful experience. She continues to remember her commands almost two years later. I would highly recommend Southern Tails!

do you do dog training and obedience
Yes they do

Do you all do one on one obedience?
They do. I have a rescue Great Dane who is naughty as can be. Tomorrow will be 3 weeks in a group class and it is going awesome. There is all different breeds in this class from a 4 lb Maltese to a 155 lb mastiff,and all in between. You may want to try group,definitely less expensive than 1 on 1,and you learn from others as well. Awesome teacher we have.

Is there a collar you perfer for a small dog who is 3 years old and never been trained? I will be coming to the July class.
It depends on whether you are leaving the collar on your dog 24/7 or if it is for walking outside. I do not like very thin tiny collars on any dogs as they can be severe on the dog's trachea. Again, depending on the size of your dog is how I would gage how wide the collar should be. We have two types, a conventional buckle collar worn all the time, or walking collar called a martingale which makes backing or squirming out of the collar impossible. You can call us at 336 328-0077 and ask for Ally or Gary. We can answer more of your questions. I usually do not monitor this. It was by chance I saw your question. I wasn't even aware of this site until someone recently brought it to my attention. Warm woofs, Ally

We had such a great experience with Fozzie in puppy class! The classes were helpful, practical, and gave us tools we could actually use at home. We learned so much about how to better communicate with and train him, and it was wonderful watching his confidence grow along the way. Everyone was patient, encouraging, and clearly loves what they do. We’re so glad we chose Southern Tails Dog School and would definitely recommend them to other puppy parents!
The trainers are great and have lots of patience.

My dog Atlas is currently in the 101 obedience class, and I can’t say enough good things about the instructors, Corey and Ellen. They are incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and encouraging. Every week I leave class feeling more confident in my ability to work with Atlas. The way they can show just one small adjustment that makes all the difference is amazing 🤯. What I appreciate most is how supportive Corey and Ellen are — not just of the dogs, but of the owners too. They make learning fun and uplifting. I even brought my granddaughter to class one evening, and they took the time to show her techniques, encourage her, and make her feel proud of herself. It was such a heartwarming moment. I truly look forward to class each week because of the positive environment Corey and Ellen create.

I had a great experience at Southern Tails! The trainers really put into perspective how dogs think and learn and I've truly enoyed building the bond with my dog. I read some reviews that mentioned the class covers things you could easily teach the dog on your own (sit, stay, etc). I have a working line German shepherd who did master the direct command very quickly. However I found the class provided so much more enrichment than that. The trainers Caroline and Ellen did a wonderful job adjusting the training style for each type of dog. They also introduced our dogs to other elements that they may not typically encounter. While my girl is easy to master a command, she is slightly shy and reactive and they taught me a lot about managing that behavior, redirecting anxiety into something positive and creating a neutral attitude towards unknown elements. I have more work to do with her outside of class to ensure what I learned here sticks, but we will certainly be back for the advanced puppy class. Thank you!
