What Our Teams Say

  • Tala is an experienced and excellent trainer. She made the classes fun and worked with us one on one.

    — Paul O. from Midlothian, VA

  • Tala went above and beyond as a trainer and helped us learn how to build a strong connection with our first puppy and how to communicate with her. She seems to know every dog that comes through her classes individually and doesn’t use a one-size-fits all approach. She was able to recommend different toys and training tools that we’ve found useful as our pup has grown. Our dog loves her and enjoys going to her training classes each week so it is enjoyable rather than a chore. She has been able to help us brainstorm different ways to approach training problems that we’ve run into and help our pup be successful.

    — Sarah W. from Powhattan, VA

  • Tala is a real blessing to our family. She has a natural gift with our rescued puppy. He was taken out of the road, bleeding, starving and coated with vermin. He could not even stand. Rehabilitating has not been easy, and Tala has been an important part of Benny's healing. I am so grateful. If Tala could handle our difficult dog, she can probably handle anything, Tala is awesome.

    — Jack R. from Midlothian, VA

  • Tala is an awesome trainer, so glad I chose to sign up for the puppy & intermediate classes with her. She is great with my puppy, Pearl, and has helped us learn many new things & good behavior skills. Tala is calm and patient with Pearl, and surely wouldn't be the same dog without Tala's training. Pearl is looking forward to future training classes, and I highly recommend Tala! Thanks for a wonderful experience.

    — Kristie W. from Richmond, VA

  • Knowing we were trying to conceive, we felt it was best to enroll in Tala’s board & train program.  From the moment Tala brought Nala home to us, we noticed a significant, positive change in Nala’s behavior. In a short amount of time, she had learned and perfected at least 5-10 commands and was on a perfect feeding schedule that Tala had formed with her, based on our existing day to day life. Since, Tala comes to our home once a week for an hour to follow up. She has taught us, our kids, and Nala how to coexist peacefully to say the least.
