We can't speak highly enough of Tamara! Our sessions with Tamara were such an eye opener, we learnt so much about how to set our girl up to succeed in our environment and it was all tailored around what we wanted to get out of it. We will definitely continue to use Tamara throughout our journey with teaching our girl all the things she needs to know to be safe, fun and enjoyable for all!

Tamara has been absolutely amazing with assisting us in dealing with some behavioural issues that we have been experiencing with our Border Collie (Buddy). Tamara is very patient, pays lots of attention to detail, extremely knowledgable, explains the reason behind everything and genuinely loves what she does. Thank you for giving us the knowledge, information, tools and confidence we need to be able to assist Buddy with his needs, we have already seen such an improvement. Cannot speak more highly of Best Friend Dog Care. THANK YOU again!

We have had Tamara helping us train our westie, Bonnie since we got her at 9 weeks. Because of Tamara, we have the most beautiful, polite, well behaved dog. Tamara is amazing with her tips, ideas and knowledge. What we have loved about training with Tamara is that it is so much more than just "training your dog". If anything the training is about "training the owner" so that you as the owner can develop your dog on your own into the needs that you require. Tamara has become a loved friend of Bonnie.

We did our puppy training with Tamara, and we loved it. She set us all up for success and gave us so many tools to use as our little Peanut matures. Tamara's empathy towards pets and their families is infectious!

We recently adopted a beautiful big ex-racing Greyhound and were in desperate need of some training help and support. In particular we were having difficulty with leash pulling and distractions on walks. At 35kg, super strong and full of beans, we needed some strategies so we could feel confident managing our boy in any situation - we had a LOT of overwhelm! Tamara started by showing us simply how to create a line of communication with our boy. Over 6 lessons we learnt a variety of strategies to help improve our walks. When we started we were looking for even just a little bit of improvement and our boy has far exceeded this. The lessons were focused on building our confidence and training skills and better understanding how to 'speak dog'. The lessons are very much to train the human! We are incredibly grateful to Tamara for providing the tools and techniques we needed. Tamara puts in 110%, with evidence based, balanced training strategies and is always on hand for support. We will definitely come back for a refresher from time to time, but we couldn't be happier and nor could the dog! Re-training an adopted adult dog can be a slow road, but seeing him improve, be more settled and how happy and proud of himself he is has been, is one of the most rewarding things we have experienced 🥰 🐕

"Tamara is seriously my Wally boys best friend! Tamara's help from when he was a puppy to well over a year now has been an incredible investment, and one that we would do over and over again. Having a puppy is no easy feat, but having Tamara there to love and support your little one in their early days makes a world of difference. We're about to embark on getting a new puppy, and can't imagine not having Tamara to help guide us as well as the puppy to be on his best behaviour and I can't wait to do it all over again.
One thing I love about Tamara and I tell everyone is that she's a dog/animal LOVER AND an incredible trainer. I think for me that was important that my dog felt loved, but also at the same time really respected the trainer (helicopter mum over here!) and I really felt that training Wally got the best of both worlds.
My also favourite thing about Tamara is the wealth of knowledge around our besties that she passes on - even without her knowing! The little gem's she drops while training really helps you as an owner to understand the 'why' when it comes to training. That's something I love!
Love Leah and Mitch xx "

Tamara has done a fantastic job with training our Pug as well as our very boisterous Labrador. They have both improved so much! She provides a very professional service, and we can't recommend her highly enough. Both of our boys love her, and has a great rapport with them.

Tamara is so patient and knowledgeable when it comes to dogs. She has been training my dog Ninja for a little while now and the difference in her behaviour is incredible. My girl loves her training sessions with Tamera so much that she doesn't even want to have breaks.

The best training my dog has received. He was a terrible walker and could not be managed easily at all. After a few sessions with Tam my dog is now bareable to take out and is listening to all the right cues! He still has a way to go as do we as the owners learning how to handle him also!

Have already recommended Tam to others and will continue to do so! She is absolutely amazing with our dogs, they are coming along in leaps and bounds with their confidence, behavior and walking. Tam is excited to help the dogs and share her knowledge.

We are so appreciative of your work! Glad we found you Tam!!!
