Meet Your Trainer
Hi, I’m Rebecca — the trainer behind Chasing Tails Dog Training.
I believe good training is about building a strong, respectful relationship between you and your dog. That’s why I focus on practical, reward-based methods that help dogs feel confident and owners feel empowered.
Whether you’re raising a brand-new puppy, working through behavior hiccups, or just want calmer walks and better communication — I’m here to help you every step of the way.
Let’s make training feel fun, approachable, and most importantly, doable.
🐶 Chasing progress, not perfection.

How Can We Help?
From puppies to problem behaviors, we offer customized training to meet you and your dog where you are — and help you get where you want to go.
🐶 Puppy Training
Start your pup off on the right paw! Our puppy sessions focus on confidence-building, early manners, socialization, and setting your dog up for long-term success.
🐕 Adult Dog Basics
For dogs 6 months and up who need a refresher or structured guidance. We’ll cover leash skills, polite greetings, impulse control, and real-life obedience with practical, reward-based methods.
🧠 Private Sessions
Need one-on-one support? Our private training plans are customized to your dog’s needs — whether you're tackling reactivity, anxiety, or just want personalized coaching.
👩🏫 Behavior Consultations
Struggling with reactivity, anxiety, aggression, or fear? We’ll dive deep into the “why” behind the behavior and create a practical, compassionate plan.

“In just a handful of sessions, Rebecca helped us with crate training, separation anxiety, and leash reactivity. Plus, she gave us games and tips to keep Rocky happy and tired. A tired pup is a good pup!”

“We were on the verge of returning our high-energy dog, but Rebecca saved the day. After just one session, Strudel was calmer and learning fast. Now she coexists with our cats, listens to commands, and loves doing tricks!”
