Hi, I’m Tarin, the owner and operator of Fairy Tail K9.

Fairy Tail K9 exists because I know firsthand what it’s like to love a dog who struggles with reactivity, big emotions, or behavioral challenges, and how isolating that can feel. I didn’t want to create a facility that expected dogs to be happy, fun time all the time. I wanted to create a space that welcomes ALL dogs, regardless of temperament.

​

I’ve been working with dogs since 2014, starting in pet rescue, where I rescued my heart dog, Leon. Since then, I’ve worked as a veterinary assistant, managed daycare and boarding facilities, and trained under a variety of 

Dog Training Academy in 2021 and continue to stay deeply involved in training, behavior, and enrichment.

Member of the International Association of Canine Professionals (IACP)

Vice President of the Volunteer Schutzhund Club 

Vice President of the Japanese Terrier Club of America.

 

I actively compete in dog sports including: IGP, conformation, competition obedience, and dock diving, and I own, show, and breed Japanese Terriers, Shiba Inu,  and German Shepherds.

​

This facility is built on years of hands-on experience, continued education, and a deep respect for dogs as individuals.
