I want you to text me to train your service dog

Why?

Because it’s what helps you actually grow with your training!

Tutorial videos (and I have LOADS of them) are great, but they can only do so much.

Each dog is an individual, and each handler is too. You need to be able to customize what you are learning to what you and your dog both need.

One of the key elements of my program, the Pack, is our daily text support and weekly texting days. Every day, you can ask me questions at any time, and I will get back to you within 24 hours.

But if you are in need of immediate help?

Every Friday, I hold text a trainer days, where you can text my phone, send voice memos, or even send videos of your training for 7 hours… that means that if you do two training sessions in that 7 hours, I can help you in real time. I can even tell you WHAT to train next, make a plan for the week, or answer questions you feel are sensitive or private.

It’s one of my members’ favorite parts of the Pack.

“This week has been difficult for me, but I know how to deal with that after our chat yesterday. Thank you so much, Blythe.” - Andrea

On the 24th, I am releasing 5 days of discounted training goodies with me (including the pack!), and if you sign up for the early bird list, you’ll also receive $50 Delta Tails credit with your purchase. Comment, “earlybird” to sign up!

The text reads POV you’re in the middle of a training session to desensitize your service dog to boots and something goes wrong. Then you realize you can text your trainer and troubleshoot in real time instead of panicking.

In one week, my best selling program for allergen detection will be on the biggest sale yet.

Here’s what you need to know about how it works before joining:

🍄 My program is customizable to the allergens or medical conditions you have

🍄 You start each week (or stage of training) with a video tutorial and guidelines for practice

🍄 After practicing for 3-5 days (each step varies), you’ll film a set of videos for me

🍄 You’ll submit those videos in a quiz, and I will watch them within 48 business hours

🍄 I’ll provide feedback and steps for your practice and move you to the next stage or have you retake after some practice

🍄 After each phase, you’ll complete a bigger exam that is scored by myself and two outside judges to make sure your dog is accurate and safely working for you

This is a step by step start to finish program - no confusion or lack of support. And if you get stuck?

You drop into my Q and A channel for a response in 24 business hours OR drop in on Fridays to my texting days for a response in 30 minutes.

Think this sounds good for you?

If you sign up during the sale beginning Monday the 24th, you’ll receive an extra $50 delta tails credit for your next purchase with me. Comment, “earlybird” to sign up.

I stopped scent training because 👇🏻

✅ I needed quicker help - I was deep in my symptoms after a long and hard move cross-country, and I really needed more support without the wait time of scent training.

✅ I needed to be sure it would work - some dogs just don’t enjoy scent training as a job for whatever reason. Maybe they really enjoy their rest, maybe they aren’t very motivated to receive a reward, or many other reasons. I NEEDED this help quickly, so I opted for something else.

We started with identifying the signs of my anxiety raising, especially the ones that my dog could see or hear easily. Then we paired those with an alert behavior that I couldn’t ignore - paws up in my lap.

After the alert we followed up with either deep pressure therapy to calm me down a bit or retrieving my emergency bag with tools to help me cope a bit better.

This was so much more successful (and fast) than we may have seen with scent training.

Now, don’t get me wrong - I train scent detection dogs daily, and I absolutely think they are amazing and necessary for many handlers.

However, sometimes scent training isn’t the best option, and that’s okay!

This option worked great too for me and lots of my students!

On the 24th, I am releasing 5 days of discounted training goodies with me, and if you sign up for the early bird list, you’ll also receive $50 Delta Tails credit with your purchase. Comment, “earlybird” to sign up!

If you’re like me and you wanted your dog for all the dog-ness that they provide, you’re in the right place.

Managing my dog’s every second with commands or working for everything is not why I got a dog.

I got a dog to play, love, and exist together.

It’s okay if you want that too.

Don’t let trainers or social media gurus tell you anything different.

Train your dog what they need to know to be safe in the world with you (this will look different for EVERY dog), and outside of that, enjoy your dog and their short lives to the fullest.

You both deserve it.

PS if you resonate with this way of living with your dog, you and I would work great together.

No. THIS is what I want. Her dog-ness.

Most dogs are not born with an innate drive to find odors through distractors, environments, and without their humans.

If they were, they wouldn’t be very good service dog prospects, let’s be honest.

BUT that doesn’t mean that they can’t learn how to independently search, notice, and alert to medical conditions or allergens.

We just have to help them get there.

This is one of the biggest differences in my program vs the other scent programs I’ve tested.

The first 6 weeks with me (a certified nosework instructor) are spent cultivating that independence, excitement for searching, and pushing through distractions and environments without you helping them or introducing odor into the mix.

What that turns into is a dog who is confidently able to locate, decipher, and alert to whatever odor you have chosen for them - whether that’s an allergen in the air or your food or a medical episode oncoming, even if you are completely oblivious.

If you want to learn how to cultivate an accurate and independent detection dog, you’re in the right place!

PS On November 24th, I will be releasing 5 days of deep discounts on my program called the Black Friday Treasure Chest. Each day of the week you’ll get a new deeply discounted offer of mine. If you sign up for the early bird list and purchase during the sale, you’ll be able to receive $50 in Delta Tails credit for another purchase in the future. Comment “earlybird” for the link in your dms.

She then lets a small weiner dog into the room to search through the boxes eating the treats she has placed. The text reads in the beginning, scent training should feel too easy. Why? Because before our dog learns to search for a target scent like gluten or migraine episodes, they need to learn how to use their nose independently.

All owner trainers need this.

I might be a TAD biased. 😉

But it really is everything I needed as an owner trainer.

I saw a gap that needed to be filled - low cost, high support, flexible professional training with up to date positive reinforcement training methods available anywhere.

And it's served over 200 happy members so far.

But don't take it from me.

Here are a few things my past students have said:

"In the past, training tips made me feel worse because they just didn’t work for my neurodivergent brain or disabled body. That never happens at Delta Tails - instead, we talk about options and resources and context and come up with approaches that are doable for my time and energy."

"I went from almost washing out my Service Dog, to blowing away our training goals and getting her back into working full swing!"

"I am truly surprised how amazing an online training program can be! The amount and quality of information, the organization of that information, and the amount of support is an amazing value! Highly, highly recommended!"

Think it would be great for you? I do too.

Here’s how to fix it 👇🏻

✅For a week or so, let your dog have some time off. Meet their needs, do dog things, and have fun together without pressure.

✅After a week’s break, take an inventory of your current goals and priorities. Things like public access training, task training, or even just bringing joy back into your training.

And ask yourself: Do they align with your dog’s personality and likes/dislikes?

✅ If they align, this is likely a training problem that can be resolved by working with a professional. (that would be me!)

My programs are designed to give you that professional support to get out of this rut without breaking the bank.

Send me a dm with the words, “I want to fix my service dog,” so I can help find the best program for you and your pup.

These issues can be fixed, and your dog can love their job still.

I’ve got you!

I felt it was time to share what I stand for as a trainer and disabled person to make my stance clear.

Here are a few more things you won’t see here 👇🏻

🍄 Hand feeding

🍄 “Structured” walks

🍄 Task shaming, fake spotting, or breed bashing

🍄 Unadaptable training games

🍄 Hate of any kind

🍄 Terrible behavior basket case shelter dog rhetoric (adopted and bought dogs carry the same risks)

🍄 Neglecting to care for old or no longer working dogs

🍄 Prong, e-collar, head halter, slip lead recommendations (but I WILL support you if you need help transitioning away from these tools - no judgement here. I know you are doing your best.)

These values are not up for debate for me, and they inform how I create my programs, courses, and how I live my life outside of training.

If you love this, welcome! I think we’ll be a great fit.
