Joseph Fernandez, K9 Behaviorist

I have two anxious, reactive, and fearful dogs. In the last 6 months they had started fighting one another. Joseph came up in my Facebook feed and I started following him. I even reached out to him but for whatever reason, I wasn’t quite ready to commit to training. Well, one evening my dogs started fighting and I was pushed, injuring my knee. I immediately called Joseph. He was able to get the worst offender, Beau into his program within a few days. After two weeks, I decided to ask him to take my other dog, Hobie so we would all be on the same page. Joseph was great about giving me thorough and honest feedback about progress and even some regression that he was experiencing with Beau. Joseph worked with everyone in my household over two days with both dogs to make sure we all knew what w

I have trained several dogs either raising them or fostering decent success, Yasha was adopted from a rescue and through DNA testing we realized she was a Dutch Shep / Malinois mix. I worked with her for 1.5 years before giving up, she just didn't respond to the same reward based training I had used on other dogs. She was very high anxiety, extremely reactive on walks, and had zero impulse control. I couldn't get her to sit still for even 5 seconds! We left her with Joseph for two weeks and were blown away by how she came back to us. She bloomed into a more confident dog who could control herself, behave well with guests, walks perfectly on leash, and is no longer reactive. He also helped teach my husband and I alternate training methods to continue building her skills and affirming what s

Joseph is very experienced and knowledgeable in his field. He helped get my dog reactive pitty under control and taught me ways to be a better handler and dog owner. He is very hands on and even after the board and train is done he continues to help support you with monthly group classes. A++ in my book!

I adopted my Boston Terrier a couple of years ago. He was abused, and suffered burns to his whole body before entering a rescue. He was out of control and aggressive. I didn’t know what to do and was beside myself. I reached out to Joseph and he assured me he could help. He was patient and offered advice while I saved up the money to send my boy to board and train. Jaxson spent three weeks in board and train with Joseph and came home a new dog. He is happy, well adjusted, and well behaved now. We are able to go out in public and have guests over with no problem. I can’t thank Joseph enough for all he did for me and my pups. He is still available and responds quickly when I have questions. I would highly recommend sending your fur babies to him!

Joseph Fernandez with Tail to Tail Training is absolutely amazing! He’s a balanced trainer who has worked with four of my personal dogs (Zeke, Zoey, & Ziggy) as well as several of my foster dogs, and I’ve seen incredible results every time. His specialty with behavioral challenges like fear and aggression is unmatched. What really sets Joseph and the whole Tail to Tail team apart is their lifelong commitment to you and your dog—not just during the training period. They offer monthly socialization classes that are incredibly helpful for continued learning and building confidence, and they’re always available to answer questions when they come up. That kind of ongoing support makes such a huge difference. Joseph takes the time to really read each dog, applying the right mix of structure, g
