Tara and the Elite Florida Canine College team, including Cheyanna and Chris, truly have The Gift. From the second we initiated with our query to Tara, we knew she was The One. So generous with her time so that we had the opportunity to communicate our situation, she immediately understood the correct path in training our beloved pup. Not only that, Tara looked outside “the box” to really reinforce her training so that success would be assured. Tara CARES. Tara KNOWS. I’m so pleased to tell you that our pup’s behavior has done a full 180 many times over because of Tara and her team. Once unable to interact with strangers, now he may just be the next mayor in town! His aggression plummeted, he is much more obedient, and he’s able to enjoy his life so much more. Above this, Tara trained us and has given us the tools to ensure success now and into the future. Tara and the team were unafraid with aggressive behavior and quickly and surely reversed terrible habits. Please do yourself a favor and call Tara now for whatever training you would like your dog to have. Trust her with your family, your beloved dog- believe me, you ALL will be happier and light of heart because of Tara and her teams’s fantastic canine work!!

Rita and Adam - many thanks for having trust and confidence in our abilities to make the positive changes that were necessary for all of you! We had the best experience with your kiddo, he worked hard, learned, took behavior modification, and shape shifting his brain into a brand new dog with an incredible future ahead. This was one of the most rewarding training opportunities that I have had the pleasure to work on! You are both amazing leaders, took instruction well, understood how to reinforce what was taught, open minded and willing to use the proper tools, and communicate effectively, and directly! Be proud of your individual and collective accomplishments! All the best! Tara

5/5

Tara is an amazingly gifted dog trainer! She was able to help me with some obedience training with very short notice while I was in town visiting family. With only 6 training sessions with her, there is huge improvement in my two Border Collie puppies! I only wish she lived in Colorado!

Business response

Audra, it was so much fun working with you Tikka and Bridger! They are amazing! You created a strong foundation for them and it was extremely fun and rewarding working with you all, for the time we spent together! I have no doubt that with the tools you have, they will exceed your expectations in the future! Look forward to working with you all in the again! Safe travels
