Board & Train Programs:
For busy owners who need a more intensive approach, Zoomies alongside Tamara offers board-and-train services. Your dog will stay with her for a set period, where she will work on their behavior and training needs around the clock. Also, with this program they will learn socialization skills while boarding at Zoomies. At the end of the program, you’ll receive personalized instructions to maintain the progress.

• All board and train patrons are guaranteed lifetime reinforcement training whenever they board at Zoomies!

Services Offered:

1. Private One-on-One Consultation Sessions:
   Tamara offers personalized consultation sessions to address specific behaviors, goals, and challenges. Whether you're dealing with basic obedience issues or more complex behavioral problems, she tailors each session to meet your dog’s individual needs.

2. Puppy Socialization & Obedience:
   Early socialization and basic obedience training are crucial for setting a solid foundation for a well-behaved adult dog. Tamara’s puppy classes focus on teaching essential skills like sit, stay, recall, and loose-leash walking, while also introducing puppies to new people, dogs, and environments to ensure they grow up to be confident, well-adjusted companions.

3. Basic Obedience Training:
   For dogs of any age, Tamara offers training focused on building a strong foundation in commands such as sit, down, stay, come, and heel. These sessions help owners establish clear communication with their dogs and promote good manners in everyday situations.

4. Behavior Modification:
   Tamara specializes in correcting unwanted behaviors such as excessive barking, separation anxiety, aggression, fear-based behaviors, and destructive chewing. Using positive reinforcement, she helps dogs learn more appropriate ways to express themselves, while providing owners with tools to manage and redirect behaviors.

5. Intermediate Training Leash & Loose-Leash Walking:
   Leash pulling is a common issue many dog owners face. Tamara’s leash training program helps dogs learn to walk calmly on a leash, making walks more enjoyable for both the dog and the owner. She uses a combination of reward-based techniques and consistent practice to teach your dog proper leash manners.

6. Advanced Training & Off-Leash Reliability:
   For dogs that have mastered basic commands and are ready for more advanced skills, Tamara offers off-leash training programs. These sessions help improve your dog’s reliability in off-leash environments, focusing on recall, long-distance commands, and better responsiveness to cues in more distracting settings.
