At Tails Up Dog Training, we use innovative and motivational training methods to help your dog learn while maintaining a great attitude. This keeps dogs eager and willing to learn.

We offer all levels of obedience training, puppy kindergarten, agility, and conformation instruction as well as canine good citizen testing. The number of dogs in each class is limited to provide as much personal instruction as possible.
In addition to regular classes, we periodically offer Canine Good Citizen testing. Call or the next test date.

The Tails Up Staff

Experience counts when it comes to giving you and your dog the best training. Each member of the Tails Up staff has more than five years experience in dog training along with teaching, breeding, showing and grooming dogs. Moreover, they understand what it means to have a well-behaved canine family member and how to help you achieve that goal. Tails Up is supportive of all dog owners' training goals from simply having a reliable "come" command to advanced obedience competition.

Director of training and owner, Lois Ornat has owned dogs her entire life and began actively competing with them in 1990. With her Gordon Setters and English Cocker Spaniels, she has earned more than 30 obedience titles including two challenging UDX (Utility Dog Excellent) titles, as well as multiple HITs (highest scoring dog in trial) and High Combineds (highest combined score in Open B and Utility). All of her dogs have been ranked first in the national obedience standings for their breed. In addition, Lois has the unique ability to pass along her success to her students, many of whom have also earned the distinction of having nationally ranked performance dogs.
