Great Expectations originated in 2003 by Canine Behaviorist Jeff Tarkowski and his mom, Fern Tarkowski. Their love of dogs combined with a desire to help dogs and owners co-exist in a happy environment embraced the “Great Expectations” namesake. Their belief that each dog and owner posed a unique circumstance led to the family environment and individual attention being given to all. Their passion was passed down to Alexis and Jaymee Srenaski (Jeff’s nieces, Fern’s granddaughters). Although Alexis has taken over the training aspect, and Jaymee has taken on the grooming, you will still be greeted by Fern’s friendly smile, and Jeff’s spirit lives on with every dog we welcome to Great Expectations.
