Dog Training in Red Deer to help 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.

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.

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.

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.

Calmer Walks, Better Attention, Real Progress 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.

Knowledgeable, Trusted, and Highly Recommended I highly recommend Raise the Woof Dog Training. I’ve enrolled my dogs in puppy classes and other group classes and was very impressed with Tara’s knowledge and training philosophy. My dogs enjoyed going to class and learned quickly.

Supportive, Clear, and Effective Training 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!
