About TARA Training and Behavior

Dorene Olson
, with TARA Training and Behavior LLC, is devoted to teaching animals using positive training methods and does not employ methods using force, fear, pain or punishment. Obedience training for cats, dogs, avians and other animals is about learning. Learning is about the acquisition of new skills, communication and cooperation between the interaction of two species.

TARA Training and Behavior is an equal opportunity learning facility - the animal care takers are taught as much if not more than their two or four legged counterparts!

Through education, empathy, and knowledge of sound learning theory and behavior modification principles, TARA Training and Behavior LLC seeks to create relationships with companion animals based on MUTUAL TRUST AND RESPECT.
Serving St. Louis, Missouri and surrounding areas.

What people are saying about Dorene Olson
"Dorene, thank you SO much for helping us with our rescue dog.  Never thought we'd be ones to reach out about dog care after having so many.....but a rescue dog is truly a breed of their own.  He's now adjusting better and we're trying to do the same.  Like you say, time, patience and love."
Our best,
Mike and Barb
