Learn & Train

CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE FOR IN PERSON LESSONS AS I AM TRAVELING THE SOUTH ISLAND WITH MY FAMILY AND DOGS – Available for online lessons.Follow our journey on Facebook or Instagram at “Shine Travel Tails”

Where-ever you are in your dog training journey, we have you covered!  

From first time owners who are bringing a new dog into your home, to fun classes to improve your dog’s basic manners, or step it up and learn how you can teach your dog tricks like those seen on wonderdogs!

Tarah has a Certificate in Canine Behaviour and over 16 years experience in training dogs, and throughout this time she has attended/completed various dog training seminars/courses.  

We would love to help you learn how to build your relationship with your dog and how, through training and reinforcement, you can help your dog grow into a well-mannered, happy and friendly dog that you are proud to own! Maybe it’s recall, or enthusiastic greetings, or pulling on the lead – building your relationship will help with all of these!

Our classes (and home visits) are in Whitianga/Mercury Bay.
