About Lavender Leashes Dog Training LLC

Lavender Leashes is run by Tiara Barlow, and the thing that shapes it is that she still works in a veterinary clinic. Her account on the site is specific about why: she watched fear and stress stop dogs from getting the care they needed, saw dogs pushed through procedures in a get-it-done culture, and encountered Fear Free principles, which changed how she works. The practice is aimed at dogs being able to cope at the vet as much as at home.

What it costs and what you get

Pricing is published in full, which is uncommon here. A consultation call is required before any booking. A single one-hour private session is $145; packages run $405 for three, $650 for five and $1,000 for eight, each with sixty-minute sessions and homework set between them. Board and train is two to four weeks live-in starting at $2,500, with daily training, video updates, follow-up lessons afterwards, and a handbook and supplies to take home.

The team

Four people are named on the site: Tiara Barlow as owner and lead trainer, Johnny Carter as behavior specialist, Lisa Brown for puppy training and Kimberly Baker as canine nutrition advisor.

Framing

The practice's own line for it is "When Calm Leads, Connection Follows", with trust, routine and emotional regulation named as the things the programs are built on.
