WHY IT WORKS
Dogs aren’t meant to stay in the backyard all day. They thrive when they have a job, a challenge, and a chance to experience the world. Tails to Trails lets your dog practice their training in real environments, with the guidance of a professional.
It’s a safe, structured way to reinforce obedience, encourage neutrality, and fulfill your dog’s
natural needs for movement and exploration.

SUCCESS STORIES
Hear from Our Happy Clients
Dog- Harley, American Bulldog/Pitbull Mix
"I have worked with Cam since my dog was 4 months old. Cam not only trained beginning and advanced obedience with Harley, but also helped us through other dog issues (home behavior, dog reactivity , etc). I feel Cam has knowledge about every technique out there and every dog related issue and if he doesn’t he is always willing to research or take steps to learn so he can continue helping Harley. Not only does he work with the dog, but he works with you on how to handle/train your dog. The lifestyle I wanted with my dog was to take him everywhere with me and I am able to do that with a dog I trust. There are great accomplishments with the dog, but also personally in developing myself as a leader and how to handle any situations. Everywhere I go– I get compliments on how obedient he is. It’s nice to get my dog to sit and listen to me in a place full of chaos– or go on a stroll with my dog walking nicely beside me. Cam has helped us every step of the way. Our favorite thing is his recall, and at 1 year old Harley can be trusted fully off leash in almost every outdoor place we take him and when he is on leash when we’re out in public he has extremely amazing leash manners. Thanks cam! I highly recommend him"

Dog- Atlas (Australian Shepherd)
"Cameron is a wonderful trainer to work with. My dog Atlas is a mini Australian Shepard and has the crazy energy that goes with it. After spending too much time and money at other places and with other ‘trainers’ with no results I was at a loss. Atlas and I had met with Cameron for the first time and he immediately showed me that he could turn Atlas around to be a great dog. Cameron was very kind, he explained everything he was doing and even sent session videos to show how to do things properly and to show Atlas’s progress in training. Cameron was very flexible with my chaotic first responder schedule and was always willing to work with me. Atlas will continue training with Cameron to get him exactly where he needs to be. I cannot fully express enough how positively Cameron has changed ours and Atlas lives. If you’re looking for a friendly, compassionate and driven dog trainer, look no further! "

Dog- Dobby/Doobie - Purebred Doberman
"Cam took such great care of our guy, Dobby! Cam did a bunch of training sessions with Dobby and I saw significant improvements in his demeanor and behavior in public and at home. Dobby has always been a little fearful so Cam taking the time to take Dobby into stores and social situations when I have to be at work is so great and amazing and I know Dobby couldn’t ask for a better training partner than Cam! Highly recommend his services and can vouch from experience that Cam truly loves and respects dogs!"
