“Sarah is an incredibly caring & knowledgeable canine trainer. She was kind and gentle while being direct with our sweet girl. Sarah understood our goals. Through clear communication and explanations of techniques, our goals were able to be reached. Our Nala really took to Sarah and enjoyed the time spent together. Didn't feel like "work". We highly recommend Sarah! She's worth every penny.”
“Sarah is a truly exceptional person. She is professional, punctual, and has an incredible heart. From the start, she was patient and flexible, working wonderfully with my dog to help her feel safe and comfortable. Sarah has a sweet and amazing personality that instantly puts both pets and owners at ease. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience — highly recommend her!”
~ Leslie, Lauren, and Nala
“We had a very hyper, anxious and reactive young labrador retriever when we enlisted the help of Sarah. She was recommended to us by a friend. Sarah was always super patient with us and our dog! She came into our home, assessed the situation and got right to work. I was amazed at how calm she was and how our dog immediately responded to her techniques. Even when she had to keep reminding us of the same mistakes we were making over and over, she did it with a smile. She was a great listener. Having a reactive dog and a family is super stressful and Sarah always knew the right things to say to encourage us to keep going!”
~ Bunker Family and Libby
Building Peaceful Relationships
Helping families build strong, lasting bonds with their dogs through clear communication, compassionate guidance, and consistent, personalized support.
Training Services
Each training program is thoughtfully designed with one core goal in mind: to support lasting success for both your dog and you.
We tailor the pace of training to meet the unique needs of both the dog and the handler, helping to ensure steady progress and positive experiences.
Training doesn’t stop when the session ends—and neither does my support.
I’m committed to being available to my clients in real time whenever possible, offering timely advice and solutions for those unpredictable moments that arise during the week.
Whether it's a sudden behavior shift or a quick question about your dog’s progress, you’ll have a trainer who’s truly invested in your success.
-
A typical consultation takes place in your home, where I assess your dog’s obedience, temperament, and overall behavior in their natural environment.
I also observe the dynamic between you and your dog to better understand communication patterns, routines, and potential stress points.
We will discuss your dog’s history, your goals and any concerns you may have.
After the consultation, a training plan will be created that aligns with your dog’s needs and your household’s rhythm.
-
A solid foundation at home builds the structure and confidence your dog needs to succeed in the outside world.
Addressing problem behaviors where they start—inside the home—is essential before expecting consistent behavior in more distracting environments like parks, sidewalks, or public spaces.

Dogs are picked up and spend five hours with Sarah working on specific training goals.
At the end of the day, Sarah will go over everything your dog worked on and explain the progress made.
We will also talk about what you can continue practicing at home to help your dog keep making progress.
At Peaceful K9 Training, we believe that every dog—no matter their background, behavior, or breed—deserves the chance to thrive in a loving, well-balanced home.
Founded on compassion, clarity, and connection, Peaceful K9 Training is more than just a dog training service. It’s a personalized partnership between trainer, dog, and owner, designed to build lasting confidence, trust, and peace of mind.
