Who are we?

Tails Up has operated in Minnesota since 1995, and has helped thousands of people train their dogs. Experience counts when it comes to giving you and your dog the best training. Each member of the Tails Up staff competes in American Kennel Club dog shows and has more than ten years of experience in dog training, breeding, showing and grooming. Moreover, they understand what it means to have a well-behaved canine family member and how to help you achieve that goal. Tails Up is supportive of all dog owners' training goals from simply having a reliable "come" command to advanced obedience competition.

We use balanced training methods to help your dog learn to be reliable as well as eager and willing.  We are as gentle as possible, but as firm as necessary. We believe training should be enjoyable for dog and owner alike. We promote a good working relationship of mutual respect between owner & dog.
