We've used Tara's 1:1 services, and her puppy school course since we adopted our puppy a year ago. She's super communicative over text/email, our first conversation she was so helpful and understanding with many of my questions and concerns and took time to answer them all - her care with questions was why we decided she was right for us. we're coming up on our 6th session with her over the course of a year, and she's given us a lot of advice, suggestions, and tips to help us speak" to our super rambunctious loving Golden Doodle. Just to demonstrate her effectiveness at pinpointing certain methods to target improvement - our recent sessions have to do with our dog's excited behaviour over hearing doorbells and knocks

Tara was an AMAZING trainer! We have an anxious reactive pup and have tried a few trainers in the past - none have helped us achieve the results we see now! Going for walks have improved ten fold and are more of an enjoyable experience instead of a stressful and tense one. Would highly recommend her to help with positive reinforcement training & will personally continue to go back for any future training needs. Thanks Tara <3

So very happy to have hired Tara to work with my rescue Pickles. I’ve grown up around dogs and have always loved them and thought of myself as a fairly experienced dog person who previously learned everything I know from YouTube. My new rescue was very reactive with other dogs and apartment noises and with two sessions I’ve noticed a huge improvement. More so then training my dog friend she helped me to view my relationship with him differently. Working with Tara was a fantastic investment in my dog’s happiness.

Tara was invaluable for 4 private sessions of training with our Formosan rescue pup, Sydney & us. Tara was always on time, and extremely patient with all of us. After each lesson she sent us a synopsis of our session and helpful graphics. Sydney (who is quite shy) warmed up to Tara quickly. I would highly recommend Tara if you are in the East Vancouver area.

Tara (Spook) loves dogs and is super knowledgeable about them! She has lots of great strategies and has the skills to work on a variety of goals. We really appreciated her help with getting our dog ready to have a baby in the house - now they are great pals (well, our baby loves our dog, our dog mostly ignores our baby!)

Tara did a great job in training not only my dog but me on how to properly work with my golden retriever .. Bertie. She was very professional .. arriving on time , providing lessons that were in tune with what Bertie and I needed and always followed up with emails with relevant suggestions and visuals on the lessons covered. Tara made an instant connection to Bertie and he responded to her training with ease . It took a little longer for him to respond when I took over but now we work in unison... he is an absolute joy !!! Thank you Tara

Tara was a great help with my new, reactive dog. Everyone in my life comments on the difference in my dog's behaviour before and after our training sessions with her. My dog is much more confident, comfortable, and sociable out in the world. Tara is a great communicator, sending training session recaps after each meet and providing notes for home practice. It's clear she knows her stuff and her care for the animals she works with is evident. I recommend her services.

Tara was extremely helpful in training our pup (and us). We did a few sessions and couldn’t be happier with what was taught/learned. Tara is so kind and caring and practices positive reinforcement! It was so encouraging having her support while Frankie was growing up. I highly recommend Tara and am so thankful to her.

Tara has been working with our energetic rescue puppy for the past few months and we have been so grateful and impressed by her. We did an initial set of training sessions all together and then set up a series of day training" sessions where Tara takes our dog out for one-on-one training. Tara is a great combo of patient

Tara was fantastic!! She saved my sanity by helping me get my new rescue pup through doors and into the car!!! She has a excellent way with dogs and is very reliable and easy to communicate with. I would highly recommend her.
