Tamison- Owner & Head Trainer

Raised in Arizona hugely influenced by animals. Tamison started riding and competing with horses at a young age. Her parents encouraged her and found a local 4-H club, giving her the chance to try new things, this foundation lead her into showing several different animals-horses, dogs and pigs. Tamison also competed in junior, high school rodeo and AKC.

After graduating high school and 4-H she attended the Veterinary Technician program and Animal behavior college. From there she worked at two Veterinary Specialty Centers, attended the Michael Ellis school for dog trainers and has trained dogs for the last five years professionally, under some of the best trainers in Arizona. Tamison still competes with her own dogs and horses all around the country in different sports- including flyball and dock diving.

Tamison’s goal is to bring her medical background, her training and dog sports background all into one great center.
