“Tarin loves and KNOWS dogs. Five stars for both training and daycare services. I'm so appreciative of the work she's done with my guy, George. He barely barks at hallway noises anymore and his leash gets more slack with every walk!”

“One of the things that drew me to Fairytail K9 was how experienced Tarin is with so many different types of dogs. From the beginning she really took the time to understand Quinn's unique personality and tailored her training approach to what Quinn would respond to best. It never felt like a one-size-fits-all program.”

“Our German Shepherd has been a regular daycare, boarding, and grooming client for over a year. She LOVES her time at Fairy Tail K9, and I feel confident that she is safe and cared for while I am at work. Thankfully, the regular de-shedding and grooming fantastically keeps things tidy at home.”

“We've worked on basics such as sit, down, and leash walking all the way to off leash and behavioral issues. She does very well at handling the dog in front of her and switching up her training approach to get the best results possible!”

“Our dog has a history of being dog aggressive so I was apprehensive to leave him just anywhere, but the staff at Fairy Tail K9 are all fully equipped to handle reactive dogs and did GREAT with our boy. The first day we picked him up he was so excited and happy, we could tell he had a lot of fun.”

“We have 1 really social dog and 1 anxious, shy dog so have really struggled to find boarding solutions that work for both of them. We were very reassured by the temperament test and boarded them both for a week and it went well. … They were both well cared for and in good spirits when we picked them up.”
