I drove a long distance for training after completing a lengthy online form only to be informed that the trainer I was meeting with would need to refer me to another trainer. I was charged $75 to be told this. Now that I investigate further no one that works at this facility has any kind of professional dog training accreditation.

Tara has 30 years of experience and it really is a jarring difference what this means for you and your dog. We have unlocked so much intelligence in our dog and have an improved understanding of one another. This is our dog after passing his AKC Good Citizenship Test.
Tara is the best. The seminar was crammed with way more information than expected and it made so much sense. She knows so much about dog behavior I was in awe of what I didn't know. She is an excellent speaker as well. Her presentation skills are such I could listen to her speak all day.
Tara and her team are incredibly skilled. I would give them my highest recommendation. She helped our dog with extreme fear of the vet. Prices are also reasonable for the quality of service provided!

I have done the private trainings as well as the group classes. Tara is great about teaching you the techniques as well as the reasoning behind them. Through time my dog has gone from being unable to be in the same room as other people with her barking and carrying on to sitting on my mom's lap last time she visited. I've even had a group of people over to my apartment with my dog content play with toys or lay down on the floor while people go in and out, which would have been unthinkable before training with Tara. Now we're working on her reactive on-leash behavior through a group class with similar progress. I really enjoy my time in the these classes and have learned a lot, cannot recommend Training by Tara enough.
