I can only say GREAT things about Audie Garver and Tails of Success Training! I adopted Hans when he was 8 weeks old and tried to train him on my own. Little did I know he was training me. I found it difficult for him to listen to me because he had a mind of his own (lab & Border Collie mix). We signed up for 6 training sessions with Tails of Success and by the end, Hans and I had a whole new relationship. Watching Audie train him made me realize I didn’t need to feel frustrated, Audie was so calm and kind with Hans, Audie taught me how to correct Hans with love & patience. We later signed up for off-leash training and public space training. Professionally training Hans was the best thing I could do for him… he’s a happy and friendly dog who loves life and loves being with me and others. He plays well with the puppies at My Love Fur Paws Doggie Daycare and even has the sleepovers with the kids in our neighborhood!! They love Hans, Hans loves them, and we love Audie and Tails of Success for teaching me the tools to have the BEST RELATIONSHIP with Hans.

My blue heeler, Foster, and I were so lucky to find Audie at Tails of Success to work on specific obedience and confidence especially. … We have noticed improvement after each lesson! Foster’s socialization has been a little hampered, like all of us, during Covid. Audie is helping him learn to be more confident with other dogs. Highly recommend Tails of Success!

Audie has transformed my dog Lucy who I couldn’t even take on a walk because she was so crazy whenever she’d see another person or dog. Now we have lovely walks and she’s well behaved. I didn’t think it was possible! I’m so grateful to Audie!

Audie has been excellent in helping us train our reactive Cattle dog mix. He’s extremely patient, thorough, and kind. It’s not always easy to hear you’ve been doing something that enables poor behavior but Audie is kind and delivers instruction and guidance without bias. After just two training sessions Cain, our pup, is already much more relaxed on walks and responsive to us. It’s so relieving to see our dogs more relaxed both at home and outside. Audie has given us the tools to be able to make Cain more confident and comfortable. 10/10, can’t recommend enough.

Really enjoyed working with Audie! He was very polite, professional and extremely patient with our puppy. Audie was totally dialed into what our puppy’s needs and behaviors are and knew exactly how to help correct them. Our puppy’s behavior has grown leaps and bounds since working with Audie and our bond has strengthened as well. Highly recommend Audie to anyone looking for a good trainer!

With all the lockdown and quarantine rules it ended up being a perfect time for a joyful new puppy. However it also created other behavioral issues like separation anxiety, social anxiety around other dogs, no confidence when away from us. … Pepper is a completely different dog now. We’ll be working with Tails of Success for a long time.

I’d love to hear how your pup is doing. Reviews help other Austin families find help for their dogs — and honestly, they make my week.

——  WHAT CLIENTS TEND TO SAY

The things that make the difference

A plan built for your household

 

No set program or package. Training is curated to your dog and what your family actually needs out of it.

Patience with hard cases

 

Anxious, reactive, and rescue dogs get the time they need. Progress is measured against your dog, not a schedule.

Training the humans too

 

You’re the one holding the leash the other 167 hours of the week. The plan only works if it works for you.
