Love, obedience training and play

Pet care experience

My whole life I’ve been passionate about the health and happiness of all animals. I worked at the zoo and sea world because of my deep love and passion for animals starting in my teens up to my late 20’s learning from the best certified animal trainers across the world even preforming in shows like “pets rule” for years. Now I have successful one on one K-9 training business for the last 26 years and I absolutely love every minute! I provide training programs that focus on practical everyday obedience that is completed with a high level of precision, even with outside distractions. I offer much more than pet sitting. Once I get to know your dog, depending on your dogs uniqueness such as: breed, age, appearance, genetics, environment, past experiences and general personality I will make a customized training program that will help both you and your dog communicate better in turn understanding one another building a lasting bond based on mutual trust, respect and love instead of frustration, anxiety, stress, fear and intimidation. In my care your dog will grow with proper manners and socialization with other dogs and people, learn fun tricks your pet will enjoy preforming for you and all while in the best trusted loving care! I believe in utilizing positive reinforcement, structure, and good clear communication to achieve the finest results. Professional dog training makes a crucial difference in the relationship between you and your dog and in the meantime a wonderful transformation occurs. By investing in quality training that best fit your dog and your lifestyle is the key to success and happiness in your pets life. It is my life! I poor my heart and soul into working with animals and in all these years it doesn’t feel like I’ve worked a day in my life because I truly love what I do! I have recently freed my schedule to begin training full time here on Rover. I am flexible with time and days and have the freedom to watch or train your animals. I am happy to watch your animals at your house or mine but, I prefer to “train” at my home because it takes consistency and constant repetition for many days and sometimes weeks! I have a large home with tons of space your dog will enjoy!

Tara was very accommodating. The drop off and pick were both later than expected, but she was willing to work with us. The dog was in great spirits when he was picked up. It is not often you leave a pet with a stranger and find them just as happy as they were when you left. I would highly recommend Tara. We hope to use her services again!
