About

Dog Training: I offer a wide range of dog training classes as well as private instruction, from puppy classes, to basic obedience and manners to a variety of sports classes (Nosework, Barn Hunt, Rally obedience and more). Whether you are looking for a group class, or individualized instruction, my goal is to make training both effective and fun, and to give you the tools to keep on training throughout your dog’s life.  For my training credentials, and for more information about my training philosophy and available classes go to: ABOUT WAGS to WISHES

Cairn Terriers:  For the past 16 years, I have been in love with the wonderful, feisty and fun Cairn Terrier. Ceilidh, my first Cairn, introduced me to the world of performance sports (agility) and dog showing (although this was not her forte). Each Cairn I have had since then has taken me to new adventures as I have become involved in a wide variety of dog sports with this incredibly versatile breed. My Cairns continue to rise to every challenge I present -  and they continue to present me with challenges!  Tarahill is my CKC registered Kennel name under which I breed Cairn Terriers. Each puppy I breed, deserves my best, so I have only occasional litters with puppies available to qualified homes. For information on my puppy rearing and placement practices see: PUPPIES in the Tarahill section of this site.
