Skylla Training offers natural behavioral based methods and positive reinforcement/engagement training Owner Courtney, is a native of the Pacific Northwest.

She has fostered a life long natural passion for dogs and horses into Skylla Training Services. Raised with dogs and horses of all breeds, Courtney was inspired at a young age by her grandfather David Fullerton and "Uncle Phil". Courtney has been training and showing dogs of all breeds for over 10 years. Possessing a talent for horses as well, she has been riding since the age of 4 and has trained

horses of varied breeds, beginning her lessons at the age of 10, she is especially fond of Tennessee Walkers. “Being around and training animals is something that runs deep in my family and in my blood”. Her Uncle Phil taught Courtney how to ride starting at age 4 on his stallion Sensations Showtime. Courtney has been active in 4H for many years. “I just have a love for animals and I love to share this passion and knowledge with others, especially when it comes to animals that have been abused or are need of rescue or need adopting. I knew I could make a difference after saving both dogs and horses that were slated to be destroyed by turning them around, and giving them a new lease on life. Changing their lives changed mine”. So call us today to schedule an appointment and see if we can make a difference in your pets life. At Skylla Training Services we are not just about training. We are about patience, caring and education. We focus on all behavioral aspects of your equine and K9 needs. Basic to advanced obedience for the K9 and manners to performance with your equine.

Sickening. And us good trainers wonder why people don’t want to trust us with their fur babies

This boy is coming along very nicely!
A little slower than what I’m used to, but nonetheless he’s eager! There’s never a timeline on training and accomplishments. Just have to go their pace.

Not the score or placing I’d hoped for, but that’s ok! This girl got her 2nd title. Now it’s back to the rally rings! I’m very happy with our run on this one, it felt smooth, less amped, and her leg crowding was exceptionally better

Zoey’s owners weren’t sure if she’d ever be able to go out in public (politely), let alone, work side by side a dog she hardly knows. They’d been to multiple other trainers, and spent thousands of dollars on Zoey’s reactivity.

Here she is today, after only a couple weeks with me. We’ve built on the commands she knew. Solidifying them. Closing loopholes. Learning her manipulation tactics.

She’s the dog that can sniff everyone’s butt, but heaven forbid they do it back.

Her reactivity isn’t aggression. It’s lack of confidence and knowing how to prioritize energy.

Many people come to me with “aggressive” dogs. And truth be told, they’re not. They’re misunderstood.

Because of the misunderstanding, along with misinformation, owners become worried, tense, and fearful. These human reactions ONLY fuel a dogs own anxiety. It puts them in a position of fear and need to protect themselves and owner.

Reactivity stems from lack of impulse control. They’ve never learned how to think things through before they act.

The top 2 commands needed for dogs like Zoey are:

#1 leave it
#2 stay

Zoey thrives working with a confident handler and other confident dogs. Chevy was an amazing coach this morning!

I have been stumped, because I had YET to see what her owners explained. I finally did. At the end of our session, we came across 2 dogs nobody had ever met.

Zoey had just found comfort working with Chevy inside tractor supply.

These dogs and their presence ripped that comfort from underneath of her. And her mom. I was so happy to see it!!!!!!

We worked through it, and Zoey very quickly settled with both dogs. Mom and dad got new tools in their box. And over the next 2 weeks, we’ll be working hard on recreating those events to teach Zoey and her parents how to be confident in themselves with said tools.

Our last groom together 😥 moose is moving out of state! So happy for his life of adventure! He got the best family! It’s going to be hard not watching him grow old, since I watched him be born. He’s turned out to be a fantastic dog!
