True Guard K9 LLC

Tara did a wonderful job with our puppy, Zena. After a one month board and train, Zena is much more focused, less anxious, and very willing to please. She has learned valuable lessons, and I feel confident that she will grow into a happy and well adjusted dog. Tara is also very helpful to the pet owner, especially in making sure we do the correct commands and corrections. After having had a bad experience in the past with a different trainer, I was very excited to see a much better result this time. We are planning to do more training with Tara in the future. If you want quality training and an excellent experience, bring your pup to Tara.

There are not enough words to express how grateful I am to True Guard K9 for bringing Iko into my life. I am IN LOVE! Thank you Tara and Alex! This is my second protection dog purchase, and the experience with True Guard K9 was night-and-day different from my first and better in every possible way! From the very beginning, my experience was different. The professionalism, communication, expert training, and genuine love they have for each dog was evident in every interaction. What impressed me most were the thoughtful touches along the journey, the kind of things that aren’t required but reflect how deeply they care about both their dogs and the families receiving them. Iko is simply incredible! He is confident, loving, intelligent, happy and perfectly trained, but beyond all of that, he is exactly the companion I hoped for! The bond we have formed in such a short time has been extraordinary, and I cannot imagine our home without him! True Guard K9 didn’t just provide us with a dog, they gave us a family member, a best friend, and years of memories to come. For that, I will always be thankful.

Me and my wife can’t begin to tell you how much we appreciate Alex and Tara !!!!! We bought a dog from another trainer and we had our doubts that he wasn’t getting the proper training. So we brought him to Alex and Tara and they did an amazing job getting our boy where he needed to be with his obedience and bite work !!!!! We are 100% satisfied with the job they did and we would highly recommend them!!!

We cannot say enough good things about the work Tara and her team did for our crazy pup. Sending our high-drive German Shepherd, Axle, to their board-and-train program was one of the best decisions we’ve made for our family. We loved watching videos as he progressed, and now it’s a daily thing to watch and learn from what she is doing with the next dog. Axle is an intense working-line dog and not an easy case, but the transformation has been incredible. He returned home with dramatically improved impulse control, boundary respect, and overall obedience. More importantly, Tara didn’t just train our dog, she trained us. The one-on-one sessions gave us the tools, knowledge, and confidence to maintain consistency and continue building on the foundation they created. Axle has transitioned back into our home smoothly and is learning to blend into everyday family life while still retaining his drive and working ability. It’s clear he was cared for, challenged, and set up for long-term success. If you are serious about training and want real results, especially with a high-drive or working dog, this is the place to go. We’re extremely grateful for the dedication, expertise, and genuine investment they showed in Axle’s progress. We highly recommend True Guard without hesitation and look forward to continuing to work with them as Axle matures.

I purchased a dog from Tara and Alex And I cannot say enough great things of my experience. From the communication in the interest I had. All the way to the end. Alex Did a lot of the communication prior to me getting to GA. He helped with the best location to stay and then meeting with Tara to work on All of the commands and getting to know our dog. Not only were they amazing there, but Tara has continuously kept up with me on how things are going at home and if there’s anything she can assist me on with training and meshing out boy into our lives. He has truly been such a blessing, and in the future, I will be purchasing another dog from them.
