TailWinds Philosophy - Accomplishment through Motivation + Attitude

Nothing creates a stronger relationship than a history of success. Using scientific principals such as capturing behaviour, classical conditioning, operant conditioning, and modeling, TailWinds will work with you to create a high trust relationship with your companion. This relationship can take you anywhere from relaxation at home, to competing across multiple disciplines. At TailWinds, we do not crush enthusiasm to meet your dogs current self control - we raise their self control to meet their enthusiasm. This creates a dog who is fast, excited, and ready to learn - and performing at a high level.
