Freak On A Leash

(403)681-2959

My name is Tara and I have recently opened my own grooming shop out of my home. I also offer dog walking and pet sitting. I believe in treating your dog with the same kindness and respect that I would treat my own. I find that I learn new things everyday and that helps me to continually improve my methods and help others. I take pride in having a clean and safe environment for your animal and I can't wait to meet more of the wonderful pooches that Okotoks and area has to offer!

I have 3 dogs—Raya, a Golden Retriever, Duff, an Irish Wolfhound, and Charlie, a Schnauzer/Jack X, and two cats, Kang and Kodos, who tolerate the dogs well. I've volunteered with Duff at a seniors home and hospice, participated in tracking and agility with all three, and received my pet first aid certification as well. We are very active in the animal industry and have first-hand knowledge of the many services and products offered out there. My goal is to help educate and direct you to the right people suited to your needs.

I have been working with animals for 10 years. I have experience working in zoos, boarding kennels, grooming shops, dog walking and sitting. In all of these varied places, one thing is constant—animals benefit from personalized care and attention. I believe our pets are special to us and I can maximize the level of care they are receiving by working with a smaller number of dogs in a quiet, stress-free environment.
