Real Pet Behavior

Tara Houser changed my life. I am associated with a local Seattle dog training facility and have access to many trainers but when I needed help with a dog with Separation Anxiety - which many trainers are loathe to work with - I wanted a CSAT (Certified Separation Anxiety Trainer) who specializes in this very daunting issue. Tara’s professionalism, knowledge, compassion and patience are beyond measure. I have come to rely on her for all my dog training assistance. She works virtually with me - which means it is very efficient AND is always there when I need her. I never have to wait long for an appointment. She is beyond question, one of the best trainers I have ever met, and I have been involved with professional trainers for 15 years. No matter where you are located, Tara can help - I ca

Tara is incredible. Very knowledgeable and good at explaining dog behavior to us humans. She can solve any problem you are having with your dog. Will be recommending her to everyone I know.

My dog was getting a little older and had unfortunately forgot how to use the bathroom outside. I was at a loss and thought she was just being stubborn. Sam and Tara assured me she wasn't. They gave me a really thorough handout, worked with Maddie on other things I never knew she needed, gave me tips on giving my cats a safe space from Maddie. Maddie is now using the bathroom outside. If you need training. This is the place. Oh and fun fact, they will always respond to your email when you need a little extra help at no charge. I really couldn't ask for a better experience.

Tara and Sam are great with pets, and really take time with each person individually. Sam keeps everyone laughing, and it's really a fun experience for both pets and owners. -Jeannie of Astor
