About Us
Our mission is to help dogs and their owners live a calm, happy life through education, understanding, and rehabilitation.
Many dog owners have trouble understanding their dog’s behavior. Lack of communication between you and your dog makes it hard to train good behavior. You may take your dog to obedience training—but how is this sustainable long-term?
We train based on how dogs communicate with each other by following their natural instincts and keeping them in a "working-mind” — a state of mind that keeps dogs working through their daily life for their owners, making them more focused and calm.
We will help you:
-
Better understand your dog’s behavior and what's motivating the behavior.
-
Learn how to properly communicate with you dog in the way the dog understands.
-
Learn how to enable your dog to live a calm and happy life in your home.

Our Storm came into our life as a hurricane. We needed extra assistance to get her trained. Training by Tara (via Laura) has helped us tremendously. Within one training, she is handling the leash, not usually jumping on new people coming into the home, walking on the leash, listening to us, and understands who is the leader (well, most of the time... until a rabbit is in the vicinity- LOL). Thanks for the assistance.
Tara was able to pinpoint the issues with my dog and provide accurate training regime for us. I learned how to lead my dog and now we have a wonderful relationship. My dog is happy and trust me.
I can't even remember the last time I had to yell or say no to my dog. There was no need to! The series of training helps me communicate positively to my dog and it works!
I can't say enough GOOD THINGS about Tara & her team.
She has helped me with 2 dogs. One was getting sporadically aggressive to other dogs (of course, it was something I was doing! 😁)
The other was a 4 month old SCARED/ FERAL puppy who now, age 3, is happy, healthy & off leash whenever possible.
