Private Training
Basic Obedience
I can work on basic skills with your dog such as name attention, sit, down, stay, leave it, loose leash walking, recall, and more!
Behaviour Problems
I can help with specific behaviour problems such as chewing, mouthing, jumping, barking, house training, self control, and more!
Fear and Reactivity
If your dog is fearful or reactive (barks and lunges at other dogs, strangers, bikes, etc), I can help them gain the skills and confidence to move past their fears and react more appropriately.
Tricks & Games
We can have some fun with your dog by teaching them fun new tricks such as shake a paw, spin, wave, bow, jump through hoops and arms, and even reading!
Day Training
I can do the work for you and come to your house mid day to work with your dog on a variety of skills while you are at work. You will be provided with videos and email summaries so you can keep up with the training too!
Walks
Sometimes life gets busy and you can't get your dog out as often as you'd like. I'm here to help! Rest easy knowing your dog is in good hands with a professional dog trainer taking them out for a mid day or evening walk.
Group Training Sessions
The Group Training Classes will include basic obedience skills, fun games and tricks and an opportunity for your dogs to socialize and play! We offer Group Classes for reactive and fearful dogs as well.
Group Play Sessions
The dog park isn't a good fit for all dogs. It can be overwhelming and unpredictable as well as unsafe for puppies that aren't fully vaccinated. Bring your dog to a Group Play Session for some fun in a more controlled environment!
Agility for Fun
Come and test out our new agility equipment. We've got jumps, weave poles and tunnels! Agility is super fun for your dogs and can be a great confidence builder!
Overnight Stays
Multi-dog boarding facilities aren't for everyone and can be stressful for some pups. Rest easy knowing your fur baby is being well taken care of in my home.
Monthly Memberships
Join our new monthly membership program for fun monthly training challenges, discounts on services, access to training handouts, unlimited Q&A with a certified dog trainer, monthly walks, overnight stays or training sessions and even monthly treats or toys for your dog delivered right to your door.
Testimonials
We have had Tara come to our home for a private lesson and multiple walks for our malamute and husky. Since working with Tara we have noticed our malamute's reactivity and leash manners have massively improved. We are able to take him on walks and get his attention easier, and keep him calm during different distractions. We recommend Tara to anyone who has a pet in need of any training! She is patient, kind, always communicating with us and answering questions, and sending us videos of the walks.

I highly recommend Raise the Woof! I have enrolled my dogs in puppy classes and other group classes. I was very impressed with Tara's knowledge and training philosophy. My dogs enjoyed going to class and learned quickly. I was thrilled when she began boarding dogs as she is one of the handful of people I can truly trust with my precious pets. They had a blast staying with her and her family, I especially loved the photo updates. So happy I have found Raise the Woof.

We had Tara over to help with some training for our puppy! She taught our puppy and us many new things! So glad we did a class and I would highly recommend anyone that needs some extra tips or tricks to book her for a class. Thank you Tara!
