Meet Tamar
Tamar Geller, founder of The Loved Dog™, is a renowned life coach for dogs and the people who love them. Known for her insight, enthusiasm and red-carpet glamour, Tamar rejects the painful prong collars and choke chains that have been common tools of dog trainers for decades. This spring she releases her highly anticipated book, "The Loved Dog: The Playful Nonaggressive Way to Teach Your Dog Good Behavior" (Simon and Schuster) and her DVD, "Celebrate Your Dog! The Loved Dog Way of Training," based on her innovative and revolutionary approach to dog training - one that is light-years ahead of the typical dog trainer pack.

Preferring the term "life coach" to "dog trainer" and "well-mannered" to "obedient," she provides insight to millions of dog enthusiasts nationwide as resident dog expert on "The Today Show." Tamar has also appeared on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" (while training Oprah’s three golden retriever puppies), Animal Planet’s "Who Gets the Dog," CNN, CBS, ABC, Fox, "Good Morning Britain," as well as in the pages of USA Today, Newsweek, US Weekly, the Los Angeles Times and Self magazine, among others. She is the go-to trainer for celebrities such as Oprah Winfrey, Ben Affleck, Courteney Cox-Arquette, Nicollette Sheridan, Owen Wilson, Brad Paisley and the Osbourne family, among others.

An active philanthropist, Tamar has an uncanny ability to give a voice to dogs, serving as an advisor for the Humane Society of the United States and Best Friends Animal Society. Her extraordinary vision led her to open The Loved Dog™, Southern California’s first cage-free doggie daycare and boarding facility, in 1996.
