We will forever be grateful for all of Tara’s help, support, and the loving care that she gave our sweet boy. Tara is truly the most attentive, responsible, and passionate person that we are lucky enough to know. I can say with true confidence and sincerity that Tara will be the greatest gift you can give to your dog, yourself, and everyone around you.

Tara taught us how to engage our active-minded puppy and build a fun routine that worked for our home and for our puppy’s needs. Her positive training methods and tailored approach immediately put us at ease. After our initial at-home lesson (which was just as much for us as it was for the puppy), he went off to board-and-train with Tara and had the time of his life.

I had a 3 month old puppy who went from being very difficult to train, completely unmotivated by treats, barely eating his food, peeing and pooping inside the house at random to IN LESS THAN A WEEK a model citizen of a puppy who never has accidents in the house, totally listens to simple commands like come, sit and stay, and doesn't pull on the leash on walks.

I could not have higher praise for the work that Tara has done with my dog, son, and I. I passed Tara on the street walking one of her own dogs and was so impressed at the relationship and thoughtful response to commands demonstrated by her dog that I took down her number for future use....She worked hard to give our entire family the tools for success.

Tara's knowledge and expertise training our dog has been so helpful to our family. She trained our Labradoodle, Cooper. More importantly - she trained our whole family to ensure we were all working with Cooper effectively....She taught us overall commands and explained the best way to work with Cooper to be successful. We cannot recommend her enough. And Cooper LOVES Tara - always ready to learn more when he is with her!

Tara Wood is a trainer like no other. She doesn't just train dogs - she understands them. She gets to the heart of their specific personalities, and she figures out how to work with them so that they become confident, happy pets. Most importantly, she teaches dog owners how to understand their pets and how to communicate with them so that the dog understands.

Following Kobe’s training I came to pick him up and I spent time with Tara and Kobe and she taught me everything she was working on with Kobe from the previous 2 weeks so I can continue the process. He is really well behaved and soaked up everything like a sponge. Thank you so much Tara for taking such great care of Kobe. -- Noah

Tara's expertise and knowledge are invaluable, and she is a wonderful, humble, and fun person to learn from. Thanks to Tara, Gilly has shown remarkable improvements, and we feel much more confident in her behavior around people. We are incredibly grateful for Tara's dedication and expertise.

After two weeks away he came home a calmer, more mature version of himself, more confident and his energy not as manic. Tara has instilled in him a solid foundation and gave us the tools to build off that. She has remained available to us answering any and all questions we have. Tara was able take our ornery little devil and turn him into a gentleman without losing that goofy charm that makes Squid...Squid!
