Synergy Dog Training and Behavior Solutions - Nationwide

Member since Jul 2020

Whatever you are not changing, you are choosing. This is something that we keep in the forefront of our mind at Synergy Dog. When our dogs demonstrate challenging behaviors, it can quickly become frustrating, causing stress for everyone in the household. You’ve made the decision to change that dynamic because you are now reading this — and we can, and will, help. Our solutions will allow you to remove limitations and expand your options to enjoy more of your life with your dog. Our plans produce results while maintaining social distancing practices in order to keep everyone safe. Please contact and book me on Petworks.

⭐ Work One-on-One with Sarah Clusman — Certified Animal Behaviorist


If your pet is struggling with anxiety, aggression, reactivity, or other complex behavioral challenges, Sarah offers private virtual consultations for pet parents in Niwot, Boulder County, and surrounding areas including Boulder, Longmont, Broomfield, Thornton, Arvada, Westminster, Denver, Loveland, Lakewood, Fort Collins. Because sessions are conducted entirely online, your pet stays in their natural environment — the exact place where most problem behaviors occur — giving Sarah a clearer, more accurate picture of what's really going on.


Why a Behavioral Consultation Is Different


A general pet trainer focuses on commands and obedience. Sarah goes deeper — identifying and addressing the root cause of complex behaviors rooted in fear, anxiety, or trauma. This isn't basic training. It's a personalized, science-based plan built around your pet's specific history, triggers, and needs. If training alone hasn't worked, a behavioral consultation could be the turning point.


🦔 How Booking Sarah on PetWorks Works


Browse Sarah's services and packages listed on this page, then click Book Now to initiate your booking, or Get Custom Quote to discuss your pet's specific situation before committing. All payments are processed securely through PetWorks — Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Affirm, Link, or Klarna. Every booking includes PetWorks Care Coverage, giving you access to a dedicated concierge team, full refunds if a booking is canceled through no fault of yours, and support throughout your experience. Once booked, you'll coordinate scheduling and share any relevant history or videos directly with Sarah through the PetWorks Inbox.


Frequently Asked Questions


Do I need to be located in Niwot to work with Sarah?
No. Sessions are conducted entirely online, so you can book from anywhere in Colorado or across the country.


Are virtual sessions as effective as in-person visits? In many cases, yes — and often more so. Pets tend to show their true behaviors at home rather than in a clinic or with a stranger present. A virtual session gives Sarah a more accurate window into your pet's world.


What do I need for a virtual session? Just a smartphone, tablet, or laptop with a camera and a stable internet connection.


❤️ Behind every anxious or reactive pet is an animal that deserves to feel safe — and an owner who deserves to feel hopeful again. Take the first step toward a more peaceful home and book a consultation with Sarah today.
