Helping you build the best version of your best friend
Puppy Training
Bringing home a new puppy is exciting, but it can also feel overwhelming. With so much advice out there, it can be hard to know what to prioritize. I'll help you build a strong foundation from day one so you can enjoy a confident, well-mannered dog.
Manners & Obedience
Is your dog's behaviour a work in progress? Whether you're struggling with pulling on leash, jumping on guests, unreliable recall, or everyday manners, I'll help you build the skills needed for a well-behaved dog you can enjoy living with.
Puppy Day School
Want to set your puppy or newly adopted dog up for success? Enroll them in Puppy Day School— a full day of customized training and enrichment with a professional dog trainer.
Fear & Reactivity
Do walks feel stressful—or is your dog shy or reactive when new people come into your home? It doesn’t have to stay that way. Together, we’ll build your dog’s confidence and teach the skills needed to create calmer, more enjoyable experiences.
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!
