K9 Workingmind, Training by Tara LLC

Tara is by far the best dog trainer we have ever worked with. Unlike many other trainers, she doesn’t follow a formulaic process with every dog. As our dominant and challenging dog has aged, she has been there with us every step of the way, adapting his training as needed. I don’t know where we would be without her. If you need help with a dominant or aggressive dog, Tara is the person to call. She can be pretty busy, so book appointments as early in advance as possible.

Horrible customer service! After a couple of cryptic emails and questions, I received an automated response of "We can schedule an appointment for a phone consultation if you prefer to discuss training or concerns in this manner. Phone consults are $50 for 30 minutes, and are done with Tara directly." When inquiring about leaving my family member somewhere for a two week program, I would expect a more personable response. I immediately chose not to go with this business solely based on the the impersonal nature of the communication. If Tara doesn't care about you and what you are inquiring about, will she care about your babies? NOPE! Sad to see a business that used to be quality go corporate!

She offers a wide variety of training. She's patient with owners and dogs who are learning new behaviors that lead to a wonderful harmony in their households. She approaches dog training as not just changing dogs behavior, but training humans on how to behave to get the results they want to see in good in their dogs behavior. She values safety for dogs by keeping her classes at a reasonable size and makes sure every human and dog gets the same amount of attention. I have seen fantastic results with my dogs and we will continue to use her services and attend her seminars to further expand our knowledge about dog behavior and how humans should interact with their canine companions.
