Our Approach
At Happy Tails & Trails, we understand how overwhelming it can be to begin the training journey.
Navigating the wide range of emotions—for both you and your dog—can feel challenging. That’s why we focus on creating a positive, enjoyable experience while helping change behavior in a supportive and effective way.
Equally important to us is the environment we share. As avid trail users and environmental stewards, we place a strong emphasis on responsible dog ownership in outdoor spaces. We believe that truly successful training also contributes to preserving and protecting the natural spaces we all love.
Because at the end of the day, it’s not just about happy dogs and happy humans—it’s about Happy Trails too.
Miranda has been the best dog trainer we could have asked for! We recently did a board and train for our puppy, Bear, and Miranda truly treated her as her own. We really appreciate the daily updates and felt completely at ease knowing she was in such good hands. It’s clear that she takes great pride in her work, and we’ve seen a lot of improvement in Bear’s behavior (patience during handling, independence, potty training, following commands, etc). I would highly recommend her

I cannot say enough good things about Rachel. She has taught me so much about dog behavior, communication, and positive reinforcement. I came into training feeling unsure, and I’m leaving with the confidence and knowledge to support Bruce (our dog) not just now, but in all of our future adventures together. The way she explains things is clear, patient, and empowering — I honestly feel like I understand my dog better than ever.

Miranda is extremely knowledgeable, kind and patient! She knows how to handle all kinds of dogs, and I cannot recommend her services enough!
My dogs absolutely love her!
