“I took a dogs and baby/toddler course when I was first pregnant with Elysia. I learned so much about dog body language and behaviour. This helped me prepare the meeting of my dog and baby so that they had a good relationship from the start. I focused on training my little one with the information from Elysia how to behave around dogs, especially his own dog. My dog not only tolerated him but they became very good friends.

Kari is awesome! Me and my 9 year old and our dog Max had such a great experience! We learned alot! We look forward to continue following Family Tails Dog Training! Thank you so much!! Your awesome!
"Elysia has been a great help and resource for us when I felt like I needed help understanding our new dog last year. Being a big dog (German Shepard/Great Dane), I was afraid I wouldn't be strong enough to be able to control him if the situation arose. She helped me understand how he learns and helped us learn positive habits that ended up making walks enjoyable instead of something to worry about. I loved working with Elysia and the believe her advice was an invaluable part of life with our new dog!"
