K9 Workingmind, Training by Tara LLC

Absolutely LIFE CHANGING training for my fearful Shar Pei. Before Tara, we could not go new places or meet new people. Through thoughtful training approaches, my dog and I both have so much more confidence and the tools we need to adjust to new situations. I cannot recommend Tara and her team enough. Tara was truly put on this earth to help "challenging" dogs--it is amazing to watch her work. I've recommended her to many friends and family, and they all feel the same way!

Short Story: We took our 1 yr old dog for a 6 week basic obedience course here. Great class! Joy and Latte taught us outside. They are great at communication, affordable, knowledgeable and have small class sizes which is great for attention. Long Story: We adopted a 9 month old plott hound from an animal shelter in Dec 2021. She was on the verge of being returned on multiple occasions. This dog was out of control crazy. For many reasons, this was important to fix. We could tell she was so smart, but didn't know where to put her energy. We definitely needed help, but didn't know from where. Then, we found K9 Workingmind!! The staff was kind from the start and very helpful. I was amazed at all the classes and course options they had available. We decided to start with the basic obediance course. It promised to teach 23 commands and a few behavioral issues. With the price, we thought if it didn't work we wouldn't be shelling out a lot of money like other places were asking. The classes were held outside of the main building (kinda sucked on cold days). We had three other students in the class. And our teachers were Joy and her dog Latte. They gave us so many great tips, and advice. Joy gave me reassurance we were doing well and our dog was showing improvement. It was everything we needed. By the end, our dog graduated and we have a much better relationship. We are definitely enrolling in more classes. This saved us. Thank you a million!
