Hi, I’m Tala Castro, a professional pet & working dog trainer, focused on making ethical, accessible service dog training available to all who’d benefit from a service dog.

As a disabled BIPOC handler, I understand the unique challenges those experience when embarking on their service dog journey.

I am passionate about breaking down barriers and creating opportunities for my teams to succeed. I believe service dogs can transform lives when trained with compassion and tailored to individual needs.

My raising & training style uses positive reinforcement and fear-free methods to empower both handlers & their dogs. I strive to build a more inclusive community where everyone can experience the life-changing benefits of a well-trained service dog.
