Empowering humans and dogs to connect, explore, and thrive together
At Intrepid Tails, LLC, we understand that having a dog is a life-changing experience that comes with its own set of joys and challenges. As a dog mom and professional dog trainer, Claire Costagliola, the owner of Intrepid Tails, has seen firsthand the importance of providing dogs with the skills and tools they need to thrive in today's world. Our mission is to empower both humans and their canine companions to live life to the fullest, fostering a deeper connection and sense of trust between the two.
Philosophy
At the heart of our approach lies a philosophy centered around science-based, wellness-oriented, and humane training practices. We believe that every training program or protocol should start with ensuring that the dog's regular routine meets their needs, allowing them to safely express their natural dog behavior. Our approach is not just about training dogs, but also about understanding the complex behaviors and needs of our canine friends.
How We Work
Our training methods are rooted in continuing education and staying up-to-date with the latest research and advancements in the field of canine behavior and training. We take a transparent approach, communicating complex concepts and jargon in a clear and concise manner to ensure our clients understand the "why" behind every training exercise. Whether it's teaching recall, addressing behavioral issues, or simply making every day life easier for you and your dog, we strive to empower you with the skills and knowledge you need to achieve your goals.
