Born and raised in McCall, Idaho, Tyger has spent his life exploring the mountains, forests, lakes, and winding trails of this beautiful place—with his dogs (and occasionally a cat) right by his side. From snowy winter trails to long summer days by the lake, life here has always been about adventure, fresh air, and a loyal four-legged companion keeping pace.

That lifelong connection to dogs, the outdoors, and the unique rhythm of small-town mountain life naturally grew into a passion for something bigger—helping other people build stronger, more confident, and more joyful relationships with their pets. Whether it’s a shy rescue learning to trust, a high-energy pup learning structure, or a family needing reliable care while they’re away, Tyger finds real purpose in helping dogs thrive.

That passion is what inspired the creation of Tails on Trails.
