Tara came to our home, and right off the bat, you could tell she had vast knowledge and experience in dog training. She gave us clear and concise exercises to do with both of our dogs.

Gina

Tara is an amazing trainer. My Ollie was having challenges with pulling on the leash toward other dogs. Her techniques that she worked with us on in one personal training session was amazing. We now have tools that we need to have a fun, enjoyable walk without the pulling. Thanks Tara!!

Highly Recommend Sit Stay Obey Dog Training! I had the pleasure of working with Tara from Sit Stay Obey Dog Training, and I couldn’t be more impressed. She came to my home and took the time to understand exactly what I needed help with. Tara is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, thorough, and came well-prepared for our session. She provided clear, practical guidance and educated me on how to train my dog—especially focusing on improving his leash behavior when encountering other dogs. Her approach was easy to follow. After just one session, I feel much more confident, and I can wholeheartedly recommend Tara to anyone looking for expert dog training support!
