DoubleT K9 Training is a dog training business led by Tanya Tarry, who offers balanced training methods to help dog owners build calm, confident, and well-behaved family companions. The business focuses on improving a dog’s mindset to address behavioral issues like leash pulling, barking, reactivity, jumping, and poor recall. Tanya uses a variety of training tools and techniques, including e-collars, positive reinforcement, and dog sports, to tailor programs to each dog’s needs—even those unresponsive to treats. Services include board and train programs, private sessions, group classes, and boarding. Tanya also provides ongoing support, lifelong training access, and personalized guidance on nutrition and routines. Her approach emphasizes structure, boundaries, and owner education to strengthen the human-dog bond.

She offers intensive board and train programs (12–21 days) for foundational obedience and off-leash reliability, as well as shorter puppy programs and reactive dog training packages.

Boarding is available for prior clients at $50/night and for new clients with added training at $100/night.
