Hello!
I'm Taylor, the owner and trainer for Tail Talk Dog Training, LLC. I'm excited to offer my services to the Zeeland Michigan area, providing local dog training to help you and your furry friend build a stronger bond and improve behavior. Let's work together to create a well-behaved pup!​ This handsome pup with me is Meeko, a German Shepherd and Australian Cattle Dog mutt rescued from a shelter in Muskegon Michigan.
My Story - from owner to Certified Trainer
My journey begins with Caesar, a family dog who never received training and grew into an anxious and reactive dog. When he was 7 years old, I sought professional help and began a rigorous training regimen for Caesar. With the proper tools and consistency, Caesar's behavior improved significantly. Within the year, he was no longer barking at every passing car, he understood "no" meant stop and check in with me, and he began interacting positively with other dogs.
​
Our bond deepened through training until his passing in 2022 due to unexpected health issues. His loss inspired me to pursue dog training professionally. After fostering several dogs and relocating to Michigan, I enrolled in the National K9 School for Dog Trainers with my new puppy, Meeko. In the spring of 2024, I became a Certified Professional Trainer and founded Tail Talk Dog Training to help others build strong, respectful relationships with their dogs.
​
Through Tail Talk, I aim to share my experiences and knowledge, promoting understanding and harmony between dogs and their owners. My journey is driven by a commitment to empathy, education, and fostering transformative connections between people and their dogs.
