🐾 About The Doggy Dorm

Meet Tyler Peabody — Founder & Head Trainer

The Doggy Dorm was established in 2013 by Tyler Peabody, a lifelong animal lover, professional dog trainer, and third-generation horsewoman. She, her husband Daniel, and their daughter live on a 10.5-acre horse farm in Waleska, GA, where they operate The Doggy Dorm alongside Mirror Image Farm, LLC (specializing in Holsteiner horses).

When Tyler isn’t training dogs, she enjoys running, reading, working with her horses, and competing in both horse and dog sports. For the Peabody family, The Doggy Dorm is more than a business—it’s a lifestyle and a passion.
