Zara was trained at “Sit N’ Stay Dog Academy” under the owner, Clark Inghram. Clark has been a master dog trainer for 50 years. Since 2003, this family-owned and -operated business, has been recognized as Tampa Bay’s best professional dog training. A pillar of the community, Clark’s experience has proven that repetition and consistency are the foundation of successful dog training. Moreover, “Sit N’ Stay Dog Academy” believes that clients truly become family. The mission of “Sit N’ Stay Dog Academy” is to teach owners like Jodi to become leaders for their pets. Clark’s dog-training philosophy is to focus on the goals and specific needs of each family because every family deserves a special bond with their pet.

“Sit N’ Stay Dog Academy” offers an array of services from puppy training, therapy-dog training, and service-dog training geared towards teaching owners the natural way to communicate with their canine companions. As a graduate of Clark Inghram’s training, Zara is a well-behaved dog and trusted companion for Jodi and her family. As far as temperament, Zara is extremely affectionate, sweet, and considers herself a lap dog. She is reserved with strangers and very protective of Jodi, her family, and home. She is 85 pounds, which is considered small for the breed. However, Zara packs a lot of love into those 85 pounds.

Jodi says, “Zara is part of the family and the Jodi Avery real estate team. Part of what I love about connecting with my clients is that we offer a seamless concierge service with a warm signature touch to our clients who often become friends. Zara is an integral part of that connection. Whether being featured on social media or going with me about my day, I love having Zara by my side.”
