Welcome to Tailored Dog Training

"There is no question that every dog is different. This is why I don't apply one dog training philosophy to every dog and owner I teach. When I train, I take many philosophies into consideration, while always staying within the positive training realm, and then tailor the training session to what works best for you and your dog."

Tailored Dog Training is owned and operated by Ally Lantis. Located in Walnut Creek, California, she holds dog training classes at Newhall Park in Concord, as well as conducting private sessions at people's homes. See the Training page for more information on pricing and training methods used.

Where to find articles

I frequently post articles relating to all things dog on my facebook business page since I don't want to bog down this site. If you are interested in reading articles about dog care, training, behavior etc. please become a fan of my facebook page!

Value

Quite often dog training clients get hung up on the usage of treats as rewards for their dog. They want to know why can't their dog just "do it" without a treat or when can they stop using the treats altogether. The answer isn't complicated, but it is a long explanation. After all, there are two questions here.

Does your dog pull?

Walking a dog that drags you down the street is not very fun. Unfortunately, most of the dogs I see in training class have pulling problems. The dogs probably learned from an early age that pulling works.

About Me

I have always had an interest in training dogs from a young age. I got my chance to train when I was given a standard poodle for my 7th birthday. The philosophy then was choke chains, rolled up newspapers and rubbing a dog’s nose in urine when it made a mistake in the house. I didn’t agree with those methods then, and I certainly do not now.
