Here's the thing: Mira Jones and Tail Lights Dogs (Val, Allison, Stephanie, Angie, Stephanie and Lisa) are a group of thoughtful, creative, fun, smart folks who genuinely care about your dog... And about you and your bond with your dog! And, they know how to create inter-species understanding and make it FUN!
I am blessed with and, ok, sometimes challenged by, an Aussie/lab mix pup, Maia. She needs things to do, puzzles to solve, cattle to drive (not so convenient around my town home). I needed help and some structure, but I'm not interested in being "she who must be obeyed" or amassing titles. I hoped we could be good for each other but not too disciplined... Inspired, not "driven". Enter Tail Lights Dogs!
Maia goes to TLD day camp 2 days a week. She gets so much more than exercise there! The staff stays with the dogs while they play, helping them learn healthy play habits, setting up new play environments, taking pictures... Clearly, they enjoy it as much as the dogs do!
They suggested I take a Nosework class... Huh?!
They were pretty excited about it... What the heck, I was game! Suffice it to say, that we are having a gas! Thanks to Mira for bringing this fun sport to our area. I have come to appreciate Maia's inherent gifts and love watching her use them. It's taught me a lot about instilling confidence in any being (me included). It's simple (of course, like all life's truths), we don't need to perform or prove anything, just love and use our natural gifts!
So, come to Tail Lights Dogs! Take a Nosework class for you and your dog, or, skip the "philosophy" and just do it because it's fun. Either way you win!
Tail Lights Dogs = Tender Loving Dogcare = Training Likable Delights
You get the picture!
