My girl Ariel

Hi, I'm Tara

I certified as a Canine Behaviour & Training Technician (CBTT) in 2016 and have maintained that certification every year since through continuous professional development, keeping my practice grounded in the latest evidence-based approaches to canine behaviour and training.

I work with my clients exclusively online to provide accessible dog training services free from location or physical restrictions. My sessions revolve around clear communication with pet owners, and my goal is to equip you with the guidance and practical tools needed to create real improvement in your dog's behaviour and overall well-being.

My training approach is rooted in evidence-based, positive reinforcement methods. I don't rely on or encourage aversive techniques or tools, or punishment-based methods. All dogs have fundamental needs that must be met and I work with you to identify and meet your dog's individual needs. Combined with simple training exercises and adjustments to your dog's environment, this creates real and lasting improvement to your dog's behaviour.
