Kara
Hi, my name is Kara, and I am proud to be a part of Dairydell’s amazing dog training team. I became a dog trainer after working in an animal shelter and watching countless dogs surrendered for behavior issues. At that time, I knew what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. Dog training has been the most gratifying experience. I couldn’t imagine doing anything else.

As a trainer at Dairydell since 2003 and a former elementary school teacher, one of the best ways to help dogs is to first be skilled at connecting with all family members to help them better understand their dog’s unique personality and identify and teach the best techniques and strategies for long-term success. I have a strong background in all the basics—obedience through advanced off-leash work—for those ever-important house manners. I also teach Sniffer Dog classes as well as guide people interested in therapy dog work.
Taylor
Since I was a little girl, I have always enjoyed animals. As a dog trainer, I love being able to help people and dogs create positive relationships together. I love Dairydell because of the wonderful environment they provide for dogs, owners, and staff. I grew up with dogs; I have a Bernese Mountain Dog and a cattle dog, an Australian Shepherd mix, and I enjoy hiking with them. My other passion is working and training my Arabian horse.
Marie
You could say that Marie has been training dogs her whole life; her mother was a dog trainer and she was there to help. Marie brings her experience and more importantly, her compassion and understanding to dog owners as she helps them understand and better manage their canine family member. She fits right in to our emotionally-aware and woman-oriented training program.
Marie is also a certified tester for a variety of AKC Awards, including Canine Good Citizen (CGC), S.T.A.R. Puppy as well as CGC Urban and CGC Community.
