Tara was fortunate to work with dogs at a young age. She raised a Future Leader Dog for the Blind, Franklin, as a senior project in High School, where she started learning canine training and properly socialize dogs. Tara graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology with a heavy influence in animal behavior and a minor in Sociology. After college, Tara moved to South Carolina. She worked with Georgia K9, NTC, where she trained tracking/trailing dogs for law enforcement and military. Tara also learned multiple disciplines within dog training, including obedience and detection. Tara moved to North Carolina, where she worked with Off Leash K9 Raleigh, where she had the opportunity to train dogs of all breeds and sizes, with different behavior issues. She recently moved to Texas and opened All-Around K9 Training with her husband.
