Glenn and Griffy
“I met Sarah through a mutual friend, and immediately recognized her kind, professional personality. When I got my new corgi puppy, I contacted her to start our training. Griffy was learning how to behave right from the first lesson, and made progress with each subsequent session. Due to my disadvantage of being human, it took me a little longer to break bad habits, but thanks to Sarah's kind, consistent training style, I caught up with Griffy and we're a great team now. I'm thankful that I found Sarah, who makes training the human a critical part of the training process.”
Allison and Charlie
“Our experience with Sarah was life changing for our family. We came to her asking for help with our very anxious and reactive 2 year old lab who had no recall ability. He lacked basic obedience skills, door manners, leash skills, & social skills. Sarah was very knowledgeable, friendly, patient, and supportive. With her help and canine training expertise, we are now able to enjoy everyday life and adventures with our dog. He has the same loveable, lab personality, but he is significantly calmer, obeys commands, and is less reactive in new situations. I highly recommend Sarah.”
Spencer and Colby
“Couldn't recommend Sarah more! As a first time dog owner with a pretty nervous puppy (Colby), I was in over my head. Sarah made sure to take the time to let Colby get comfortable around her before diving into training. She's clearly extremely knowledgeable and takes the time to not only introduce the skills to your dog but provide you with tips to ensure you're able to continue the training and expand it to other skills on your own. The training sessions are fun and active. Thanks to her, I'm much more comfortable working with Colby on my own and he's a much happier and more confident pup!”
Vicki and Myles
“Sarah was very knowledgeable and experienced. She showed great patience while working we me and my dachshund puppy. She allowed me to take videos of the training, which served as a great reference. Sarah even met me at my job to practice there as I mentioned I'd be taking him to work on occasion. I highly recommend Sarah for your dog training needs.”
Cara, J, and Pearl
“Sarah was amazing to work with to help train our 6 month old golden retriever puppy. We needed quite a bit of help. Not only did our pup learn but we did too! She taught us new tips and tools to really understand how our dog thinks and responds. This was so helpful for both us and for our pup. Sarah’s calming demeanor and the way she handled our pup was so fun to watch and learn from. I recommend her to anyone with a puppy or to help retrain an older dog, or to anyone just needing help. She truly is a dog whisperer. So worth the time and investment.”
Kirsten and Roland
“Sarah is the main reason my dog can live a happy life. Her dedication and love for animals are palpable. My dog is a chihuahua dachshund mix and a rescue. Training him was difficult. He escaped the yard plenty of times and tore up furniture. He had a fear of men and often reacted poorly to them. With what he learned with Sarah, I can bring him anywhere, on or off leash. He is with me all the time, and I receive many compliments and praise, which is all owed to Sarah. I couldn’t recommend her more!!”
Jeremy, Meagan, and Crowley
“Sarah helped me train my silver lab into one of the best behaved dogs in my neighborhood. In fact, he isn't just my dog anymore, he is a neighborhood dog, beloved by my neighbors on both sides. The training was very in-depth and helpful. Sarah did a great job of explaining things to me that set me up for success, not to mention her natural ability with understanding K9 behavior. By the time our training concluded, she was a part of our family! I recommend her to everyone that I can who is training a puppy or has a dog with behavioral issues. Everyone who I know that has taken my advice and called her have been happy with their experience, and have commented to me about her immediate demeanor with their dog.”
Kelsey and Banks
“I adopted a rescue pittie who is leash reactive and knew I needed some tips and tricks on how to give my dog Banks the best and most successful life possible. I took him to work with Sarah and it was such an amazing experience! She really took the time to get to know Banks to see what he needed to work on and helped me out every step of the way with how to effectively communicate and reinforce training with my sweet boy. Banks and I both learned a lot and I would highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a dog trainer!!”
Joan and Beau
“Sarah is the most personable and best trainer I have ever met. She is very knowledgeable about all aspects of animals. She gives very good advice, works with you until you get it and answers all of your questions even if you ask them more than once. She has a spunky personality that is contagious both for you and your pet. I wouldn’t use anyone else. I just mention her name and my dog starts looking for her all excited.”
Palmer and Ziva
“Sarah is fantastic with both people and their dogs. I contacted her when I ran into difficulty training my lab puppy. When Sarah came out to evaluate my puppy she immediately and correctly assessed the situation. She then reassured me we could work together to solve the behavior issues. I was very impressed with her professionalism and knowledge. Sarah has a caring and compassionate manner. From day one Sarah went above and beyond to help me with my energetic puppy. She was always available to answer questions and to problem solve. Sarah not only helped me with training my puppy, but she also had perfect solutions for my physical limitations with dog training. Sarah took a stressed dog mom and a confused and stressed puppy and was able to turn the situation around. My puppy is now a dog that listens, can settle down and is fun to be around. In my opinion she worked a miracle. I couldn’t recommend Sarah more, she is absolutely wonderful.”
Foster Family and Rex
“We cant thank Sarah enough for giving us the skills and tools to set our GS puppy, Rex, (and us!) up for success. Sarah is so personable, kind, patient and encouraging and always took the time to answer our many questions to make sure we were comfortable and confident with each lesson. She really is a puppy whisperer and Rex and our family just adored her!”
Leslie, Lauren, and Nala
“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!”
Bunker Family and Libby
“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!”
