Testimonials

“Before we started working with Taylor, our newest dog Peanut was very scared of leashes. She’d run and hide from them and even bark if we even took it out. But now she’s able to go on walks and explore the world outside our home!”

— Bailey Patino

“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Reality K9 and Taylor! My dog struggled with severe fear due to a traumatic past, and I truly didn’t know how to help her. With Taylor’s guidance and expertise, everything has changed.”

— Manuel L.

  • We are Foundation Style Dog Trainers. Placing dog training on a spectrum of force-free to balanced is misleading, because it focuses entirely on tools. Getting into the semantics of whether a tool is “good” or “bad” is arbitrary. Many force free trainers utilize harnesses, Halti’s, and Gentle Leaders to stop pulling. These are all, by definition, tools for positive punishment - something added to discourage a behavior. This contradicts a force free label.

    Instead of focusing on labels, it is better to focus on ethics:

    • Does the trainer prioritize the well being of your dog?

    • Can the trainer articulate why they are doing what they are doing in a way that makes sense to you?

    • Is the trainer fixing the problem you are paying them to fix effectively?

    If you’d like to read more about our training philosophy, see here.

  • In Foundation Style Dog Training, concepts build off one another to form a comprehensive training plan that addresses the entire dog. Read more.

  • It depends on the tasks you need your service dog to perform. Contact us to discuss further.
