Customer Reviews
Friendly and safe atmosphere. Sarah is great with the dogs and their humans. We are learning more than just “skills” like how puppies developed, behave and what their needs are.
- Rebecca POur rescue pup had extreme fear, resource guarding issues, and would lunge to bite us and anyone who came near him. We could barely put a leash on him because he was so fearful of everything. Sarah pretty much saved our dog. Not only did the training provide our dog with the confidence he needed to feel safe, but he is now so, so happy! He absolutely loves people and he no longer bites or guards. We also love that Sarah taught us how to recognize different behaviors (head down, ears back) and react appropriately. Sarah is incredibly knowledgeable and patient! We are so thankful.
- Lynore LIf you're a new pet owner and you don't know where to start with dog training, Sarah will walk you through it the right way the first time. During an average class, you can expect to learn a bunch of tips and tricks from training related questions that come up from other students. This, to me, has been one of the biggest benefits of training with Sarah. She's able to give one-on-one attention to individual needs in a classroom setting without missing a beat. Thanks Sarah!
