Hi, we’re Liam & Olivia — the team behind The Tail Society.
Dogs have always been a huge part of our lives, and what started as a passion for training has grown into a shared mission to support dogs and their owners through both expert guidance and everyday care.
Liam brings years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities - helping them overcome behavioural challenges, build confidence, and strengthen their connection with their owners.
Our approach is grounded in trust, patience, and consistency. Whether your dog is learning new skills, building confidence, or simply enjoying their day in a safe and supportive environment, everything we do is tailored to their individual needs.
Meet the trainer
Hi, I'm Liam O’Reilly – Your trusted dog training specialist. Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember.
Over the years, I've had the privilege of working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, helping them overcome challenges and build lasting bonds with their owners.
My approach to training is built on trust, patience, and consistency. Whether it’s teaching basic commands, addressing reactivity, or guiding puppy development, I tailor each session to meet the unique needs of every dog and their family.
I believe every dog has the potential to be their best self, and it’s my mission to help them get there.

How our training program works
Our proven training framework ensures every dog gets the attention, care, and consistency they need to succeed. From the initial assessment to personalised sessions and follow-up support, we’ll guide you through each step of the journey.
-
01.
Behaviour Assessment
Every successful training journey begins with understanding your dog’s unique personality, needs, and triggers.
In this initial in-home assessment, we’ll observe your dog’s behaviour, discuss your goals, and identify key areas for improvement. This step allows us to design a tailored training plan that sets clear, achievable objectives and start with a strong foundation.
-
02.
Schedule your sessions
Flexibility and consistency are key to successful training outcomes.
Once we’ve established your dog’s training needs, we’ll schedule your sessions (1, 3 or 5) to suit your lifestyle. Whether it’s ongoing private sessions, immersive Day Training, or our Board & Train program, we’ll ensure your dog receives consistent reinforcement and progress tracking.
-
03.
You’re Empowered
Training doesn’t stop at our sessions — it continues at home.
Our training process equips you with the skills, knowledge, and confidence needed to maintain and reinforce your dog’s progress. We’ll provide you with practical tools, ongoing support, and actionable tips to ensure long-term success and a happy, balanced dog.

Pippie the Golden Retriever
“Liam is fantastic and I can't recommend him enough to anyone.
He has been so good for our Pippie who is a nervous Golden Retriever and has also helped us build her confidence to where she can spend days with dogs.
Pippie loves her time with Liam whether it's for the day or a few days she always comes back happy and fulfilled and we are kept up to date with videos of how she is going. Thanks Liam!”

Echo the Staffy
“Liam has been a tremendous help with our 2-year-old reactive American Staffy, Echo. We sought his expertise when Echo's behaviour made outings challenging.
Liam's deep knowledge and personalised approach guided us to the right tools and techniques. After 6 months of Liam's guidance, Echo's behaviour has noticeably improved. We now confidently navigate high-distraction areas, knowing how to keep her calm or intervene effectively if needed. Liam also helped us establish a balanced routine of walks, play, and downtime, contributing to Echo's overall well-being.”

Monty the Heeler
Liam has been an absolute lifesaver in training my little Monty. From the start, his calm and professional demeanour made both Monty and me feel at ease. He has a natural ability to connect with dogs and tailors his training methods to suit their individual needs.
Monty has made incredible progress under Liam's guidance, and I'm constantly amazed at how much he's learned in such a short time.
Liam is patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what he does. He takes the time to explain his techniques and ensures I feel confident continuing the training at home.
If you're looking for a skilled and caring dog trainer, I can't recommend Liam highly enough. He's truly great at what he does, and Monty absolutely loves him!

Lefty the Pointer x wolfhound
Lefty is an almost 2 yo German wire-haired pointer x wolfhound. Like a classic teenager, Lefty thought his Mum and Dad were massive losers and not to be listened to, especially around other dogs. For the last 6 months Liam has been helping us and Lefty with his on leash reactivity and general obedience.
Thanks to Liam, Lefty can now walk to heel and we are getting closer and closer to other dogs without Lefty going nuts!
Still a long way to go but now that Liam has showed us the correct techniques in handling a big boy we are all so much more relaxed and enjoy our outings and that is priceless.
