Hi! I'm Blythe, and I am the founder and head trainer here at Delta Tails. Delta Tails began as a small company in the California Delta, where I lived when I began this journey with my two pups, Quimby and Melvin.
After training my own service dog, Quimby, I developed a love for training and working with other disabled handlers to train their own service dogs. Once Melvin came home, I was thrown into the world of reactivity and aggression and studied for many years in order to support dogs like him alongside.
I am a lifelong learner, and use the majority of my income from training to take more training classes - I know I'm a huge behavior nerd.
I have mentored under several different professional trainers early on in my career, and started building my certifications with the IAABC. Now I hold certifications in behavior consulting, nosework, fitness and conditioning, separation anxiety, and pain analyses in order to support the FULL service dog, not just the training.
Why work with me?
Did you know that the dog training industry is completely unregulated?
Choosing a dog trainer is a difficult process. I am committed to using only positive reinforcement, welfare-based, and pain aware methods with my students. I do not allow prong collars, e-collars, slip leads, or other aversive tools in my training.
You can find all of my certifications below.
