Testimonials

“I started working with Tarin about 2 years ago with my 4-5 year old rescue dog, to work through some aggression issues and confidence building. Even after our board and train was done, Tarin was happy to help us with questions, and my boy made huge improvements. When we got a new puppy last year, we went straight to Tarin for some lessons and classes. From basic puppy manners to behavior modification, and beyond to showing/conformation and athletics, she can handle it all! She has such a talent and passion for dogs, but she also works really hard to continually improve by attending workshops and classes herself. I’ve really enjoyed working with her, and most importantly, my pups love her!”

“If I could give Tarin and FairyTail K9 training One Million stars I would! I am an anxious Helicopter rescue pittie dog mom and my dog is literally my child; I would do Anything for him. We started having trouble walking calmly in our neighborhood shortly after I adopted him. He pulled hard on the leash and was reacting (Lunging, jumping, barking) to Every dog we saw. The walks became a “can we just make it around the block without an incident” and not super fun for either of us. I was so worried about our future together with him reacting so negatively to other dogs. I realized we both needed professional help so I could give him the life he deserves and we could both start to enjoy our time outside. I researched All the local dog trainers and realized Tarin would be the absolute best fit. She’s not only an expert on canine behavior but also takes a holistic approach regarding everything from proper nutrition to grooming. My Red went from being one of the worst behaved dogs on the block to quite literally the Best. People stop us and constantly admire how well behaved and trained he is. Not only is he a Dream to walk these days but she worked with me to give me the confidence to become a better dog mom and handler myself. If you are struggling with your dog or maybe have even gone to other trainers in the area and still aren’t where you need to be, I cannot recommend Tarin enough. You and your dog will both be asked to put in the work to both be better for each other. I feel so much more confident and knowledgeable with the tools she has given both my dog and I to navigate our life together safely and with joy. Trusting someone to guide us on our journey was difficult but Tarin proved herself to not only be such an Amazingly talented dog trainer but Also someone who cares Deeply about each dog she trains. She treats your dog like her own! So thankful I found her!”
-Cody & Big Red

“Extremely happy with the dog care service we received! The entire team at Fairy Tail K9 did an outstanding job with our purebred Australian Shepard. He’s a pup and can be quite nervous and VERY loud around people. When we dropped him off he was the loudest pup we knew and when we picked him up I was SHOCKED whose dog even is this!? IN A GOOD WAY! He was SO well behaved and still is. We paid for two trainings when we boarded him and holy cow we are SO impressed with his behavior. As someone who also has some dog training I was amazed that his behavior was that improved within the timeline we were gone. I highly recommend Fairy Tail K9 for all dog owners, and note that Tarin and the team are incredible. The price is STELLAR for the care and training, you can’t get better than this company.”

About the Trainer

Fairy Tail K9 is a full-service dog training, daycare, boarding, and grooming facility in Nashville, TN, founded by trainer Tarin and opening in Spring 2024. They offer tailored training programs based on a dog’s temperament, assigning each pup to one of five specialized guilds: Fairy Guild (shy/sensitive), Wizard Guild (neutral/people-oriented), Unicorn Guild (playful/social), Phoenix Guild (high-energy/reactive), and Dragon Guild (bite history or requires careful handling). Their training combines group and private sessions with structured daycare, enrichment, and nap time to ensure balanced development. They specialize in behavior modification for reactivity, aggression, leash pulling, and fearfulness, and also provide puppy training, obedience, and advanced skills like conformation and athletics. Additional services include luxury boarding, full grooming (baths, haircuts, deshedding), and add-ons like CBD treats and premium bedding. All services begin with a free temperament test to customize each dog’s experience.
