Testimonials
“When we hired Tara for our dog Blue. I honestly thought we were going to have to give her up. She’s was jumping up, knocking over our toddlers, and all around poorly mannered. I have had many dogs in the past but we were at a lost when Tara came. Within a few session we began to see changes in her that have sustained much past her training. If we ever need help with our dogs again, Tara will be the first call we make!”
– Elizabeth H
“Had it not been for Tara training our Boston Terrier Scooter to stop jumping and licking, and general bad behavior, we would no longer have him! He came to us at 14 months old and was so out of control. My husband and I were right on the verge of rehoming him. I heard about Tara’s Pawsitive Dog Training through a coworker, who had similar problems as we did with her dog and were corrected by Tara. We had to give Scooter this chance, because we love him! Tara is Truly the Dog whisperer ! She came into our home, and not only did she train Scooter, but our Boxer as well. She spent time with us as well to teach us how to keep up with the training. Since then, it has been such a relief to have the Loving cuddly little dog we knew he was inside. As well as a calmer home environment. Knowing Tara came from a family of Dog trainers was a huge plus! Tara, I can’t thank you enough! You really saved our furbaby from being rehomed, which was something we did not really want to do!”
– Lori B.
“Tara worked with my two doodles, Lucy & Max. They are both full of energy and love everyone. We had a problem of getting them to calm down when anyone walked in the door. Tara worked with us and after 1 session we gained the skills to manage their jumping. They no longer tackle anyone! She was like the dog whisperer. Basic commands that were a challenge are now a breeze! Thank you so much for helping tame this wild pups!”
– Margaret P.
