Building Better Bonds: Inside the Training Philosophy at Creating New Tails

Black Labs in Dog Training Lake

At Creating New Tails, we believe dog training is about more than teaching commands- it’s about creating confident dogs, empowered owners, and lifelong bonds.

Led by professional trainer, Jillian Skalky, our programs are rooted in compassion, structure, and real-world application. From basic manners to service-level training, every session is tailored to the dog in front of us - and the life they’re preparing for.

Personalized Training, Real-Life Results

No two dogs are alike, and neither are our training programs. We offer a range of services designer to meet your dog where they are-wether they’re just starting out or preparing for advanced public access as a working service dog.

Our core offerings include:

  • Board & Train Programs (10-28 days): immersive, real-life training tailored to your goals

  • Owner Training Sessions: private, one-on-one coaching to ensure training transfers smoothly into your home

  • Service Dog Programs: full service training for mobility, psychiatric, and task-specific support dogs

  • Canine Good Citizen (CGC) preparation

  • Basic & Advanced Obedience Training

All training takes place in a supportive, low pressure environment-using positive reiforcement, structure, and trust-building as the foundation.

A Different Kind of Dog Daycare

Our Dog Daycare Program is designed to give your dog freedom, not confinement. Here dogs aren’t kept in kennels-they enjoy free roam, monitored social time, and access to a spacious backyard for play and exercise. Wether for a day or an overnight stay, your dog is treated liek family. Grooming services are available upon request.

Take It to the Water: Dog Lake Sessions

For dogs who lovea new challenge, Dog Lake Sessions offer private access to safe, enclosed lake where Jillian provides instruction for swimming, dock diving, or just building water confidence. These sessions include transportation and post-lake bath, so your dog comes home clean and happy.

Training That Stays With You

Every dog trained by Jill is prepared not just for success during sessions, but for life beyond them. Through owner education and ongoing support, we make sure the transition from trainer to home is smooth, supportive, and lasting.

Because at the end of the day, it’s not just about training a dog-it’s about building a relationship rooted in respect, clarity, and trust.
