Pro Dog Trainer, certified 2018
Orange County, CA
Happy as a dog with 2 tails.
Two ways to train
One dog, two tails up.
Every session trains the dog and the owner together, because the bond between you is the real training tool. Pick the format that fits your dog, or do both like most 2 Tails families.
01
One-to-one sessions
Personalized training built around your dog: their age, breed, and personality. Lynn watches how your dog thinks and designs the games that build their skills, then coaches you through every step.
02
Group sessions
Real-world practice alongside other owners and their dogs. Sessions in the park turn the games your dog knows into reliable skills around people, dogs, and distractions.
Concept training
Concepts, not commands.
Drilling "sit" does not teach a dog to think. Lynn's concept training uses simple games that build the thinking skills behind good behavior: confidence, calmness, and focus. When learning is play, your dog wants more of it.
Game 02
Calmness games
For busy minds like Luna, who learned to calm down, settle, and even do great tricks between her games.
Game 03
Focus games
For dogs like Mollie, whose owners learned the "middle" cue: one word that brings her back between your legs, from anywhere.

"Our relationship with Snoopy has gotten better since we started training with Lynn. Once we understood how to help him with his anxiety and were consistent with the confidence games she recommended, we saw a huge change. Snoopy loves when we have our training session."

"Lynn told me about her style called concept based training, using the power of play and games to create positive reinforcement as a learning tool. Romulus is a much happier dog, looking forward to our daily training sessions, which are now fun for both of us."

"Her technique is wonderful and she has taught us how to teach our dog to be obedient by rewarding and praising her. Our dog will come from anywhere and sit right between our legs with the call of one word, 'middle.'"
