FirstBarkWe will recommend Tara and her business to anyone with a dog for obedience training. As a trainer, she gains and maintains control over the animal right from the start. Our GSD began training at 3 months with Tara and the training has made having a puppy much more enjoyable. Thanks Tara!

⸻ When my husband and I brought home our Dutch Shepherd, Vero, we were fortunate to work with Tara—the best trainer in Indian River County. She worked with both Vero and me, on and off leash, each week for about 10 weeks. Tara not only taught me how to train Vero but also gave me the tools, feedback, and guidance I needed to continue his progress at home. Thanks to her expertise and dedication, Vero has become an incredibly obedient and well-mannered dog. He has since gone on to complete explosive detection training and is now a fully certified working dog. My husband can confidently travel with him, even through airports and large crowds, knowing Vero will remain calm, focused, and obedient. We truly could not have achieved this without Tara’s help, and we are beyond grateful for her professionalism and skill.
“I can’t say enough good things about Tara. They’ve made such a difference with my dog! Their training style is patient, clear, and positive, and you can really see how much they care about both the dogs and their owners. My dog has learned so much and is happier, calmer, and better behaved at home and in public. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trainer who truly knows their stuff!”
Tara is amazing, with dogs and dog owners. Our issue was excessive barking, and we quickly learned how to correct this behavior. We were so happy we continued with 5 sessions of obedience training. No matter what type of issues you have, you can't go wrong with Tara!

I can’t say enough amazing things about Tara and the team at Florida Elite Canine College. My 5-year-old Cavapoo, BaileyBoo, has been completely transformed through their service dog training program. From the very first session, Tara showed incredible patience, professionalism, and deep understanding of canine behavior. BaileyBoo went in as a sweet but somewhat anxious pup, and came out with confidence, focus, and the skills to truly assist me as a service dog. Tara’s training methods are compassionate, effective, and tailored to each dog’s unique needs. She genuinely cares about both the dog and the handler, and that made all the difference. If you’re looking for someone who treats your dog like family while delivering top-tier results, Tara is the one. I feel so much more supported and empowered having BaileyBoo by my side, thanks to her.
