About Tailspin K9 Academy

At Tailspin K9. I am dedicated to providing top-notch dog training services that cater to the unique needs of each canine companion. My approach is rooted in balanced training, a methodology that combines positive reinforcement with clear boundaries and communication.

Balanced Training

Balanced training focuses on creating a harmonious relationship between dog and handler by using a combination of rewards and gentle corrections. This approach helps dogs understand what is expected of them while fostering a strong bond built on trust, respect, and clear communication.

Service Dog Law

I am committed to helping individuals with disabilities by training service dogs that can assist with specific needs. As someone who utilizes a service dog myself, I have a deep understanding of the importance of these animals in enhancing the lives of the individuals with disabilities. Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), service dogs are protected and allowed to accompany their handlers in all public spaces. My training programs are designed to ensure that service dogs are well-behaved, calm, and focuses in a variety of environments.

About me

With over 5 years of experience in dog training and 6 plus years of experience in rescue and rehabilitating aggressive dog cases, I've developed a deep understanding of canine behavior and psychology. As a passionate advocate of dog safety and welfare, I've volunteered with Red Cross teaching dog safety classes and have been involved in the training of search and rescues dogs. As a proud member of Calcasieu Kennel Club, I stay up to date on the latest training methods and best practices. Native to this area, I understand the local community and am dedicated to providing personalized training services that meet the unique needs of each client. When not training, I can be found spending times with my 3 kids and beloved Great Danes and Doberman.
