Rosie's Tail Training

Real dogs. Real families. Real results.

Every dog on this page was written off by someone — a trainer, a vet, a well-meaning stranger at the park. Here's what happened instead.

Connected Canine Experience

From food aggression to Canine Good Citizen

The challenge

Wally was resource guarding food around Molly's roommate's dog — a scary situation with real stakes. No one wants to risk losing a good roommate, or risk giving up their dog.

The outcome

Within a week, Wally had learned skills to stop his barking and begun targeted exercises for his food aggression. Six months later, he no longer resource guards, passed his Canine Good Citizen test, and the whole household has peace of mind.

Molly appreciated our science-based and efficient way of training. When she decided to move forward, she saw results in days.

Stopping unprovoked attacks between housemates

The challenge

Coco had attacked her housemate Boogie multiple times without warning, and had also attacked a dog outside the home. When she got excited, she didn't pause to think — aggression was her first choice.

The outcome

Within weeks of intensive training, the improvement was incredible. Coco is now easy to take out on walks, and with stationing and positive reinforcement, there have been no more incidents between the two dogs at home.

We are so proud of how far they've come, and how much work their family has put in.

Connection over Control

The COVID puppy who couldn't cope — and then thrived

The challenge

Daisy was a typical COVID puppy who'd gotten so used to being around her people that when they returned to work and school, she didn't know how to cope. She was also showing increasingly worse reactivity.

The outcome

Within days, Bella saw huge improvements in quality of life. Months later, Bella can take Daisy for walks again, and the family doesn't worry about barking interrupting their routine. Daisy's story even sparked Bella's love of animal behavior — she's now studying to become a trainer.

Our focus on nervous system regulation gave Daisy the tools she needed to regulate around her triggers instead of reacting to them.

Teddy & Ollie

Paige

Paige came to us at her wit's end — a toddler, a work-from-home job, and dogs that never stopped barking. We stabilized the situation, then taught both pups to go to their designated place whenever someone arrived or something caught their eye out the window. Her family couldn't believe the difference.

Rico

Rico came to us for multiple bites to strangers in the home. With a grandparent moving in, this needed to be addressed immediately. After a few months of work, his family no longer worries about biting or nipping around new people.

Zara

Jenn & Jason

Zara couldn't be left alone, was going to the bathroom in her crate, and her biting and jumping had already caused injury. Within days of starting our 8-week intensive program, the biting and jumping stopped. Today, Zara has perfect obedience, a rock-solid recall, and can be trusted off-leash — backed by our Lifetime Support promise.

When she was expecting, Kimber knew she needed to get her pup's behavior under control. She sent us this wonderful video of her, her new baby, and her pup walking peacefully together after training. Great job Kimber + co!

"Awe, thanks Max. No problem. He's doing great!"

What our clients say

"After training with Max, my dog is able to walk on leash without going after other dogs! I could not be any happier!"

Bella N.

"After working with Max, my family commented that our dogs seemed so much better behaved and even seemed like different dogs entirely."

Paige Z.

"Max really knows and appreciates dogs, does a wonderful job of engaging the dog and making them walk to please. So glad I invested in this training."
