"Sarah was an excellent trainer! My puppy spent a week with her for imprinting and I swear (with Sarah’s guidance) I now have the most well behaved 12 week old pup in the world. She intuitively worked with her on skills and conditioning that my pup particularly needed to set her up for success. She took a timid, fearful puppy and brought her out of her shell. Their time together transformed my baby into a confident, happy go lucky puppy with a solid foundation in manners. Oh and, she was perfectly crate trained by the time she got to me! It was amazing. Sarah was communicative, honest, and so loving in her work. Highly recommend!"

"Sarah is a dog expert. I’ve taken two series of her puppy/dog training classes and have recommended her to many dog owners. She is very organized and thorough; providing a syllabus (which is printable) for the classes with embedded videos that are extremely helpful to aid in the proper facilitation of the training. Additionally, she personalizes her classes and provides impeccable solutions that really work for any scenarios/problems/behaviors that need addressing. She is a succinct communicator while patient and kind with both dogs and their owners.

Additionally, her classes are a pleasure due to her intelligence as well as her fun and engaging personality. The skills my dog has learned have shown her how to get along with the family and move safely outside the home. I look forward to taking her advanced class in the future."

"Sarah was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Laddu. Her training was fear-free, thorough, and we left our sessions feeling much better about our approach with our puppy. I would highly recommend her!"

“Rocky has learned so much! We have done classes and privates and really they were both so helpful!! Sarah has so many easy tactics and games to get your puppy listening and being a good pup!! It's his favorite part of the week going to class to see Sarah!! Thank you!!”

“Sarah is very professional, compassionate, and knowledgeable in working with my 14 week old Havanese puppy. My puppy came back to us after 2 weeks of training very socialized around all dogs and people and responsive to many commands that Sarah took the time to instruct us how to continue to reinforce when we brought her back home. Sarah provided us with a complete schedule and notes to follow once we brought our puppy home. We recommend Sarah to anyone getting a puppy for the first time to eliminate circumstances that can be a bit overwhelming especially for those of us that have a lot of other commitments going on in our lives. Shayna is one happy puppy after training with Sarah.”

“We have used a few dog trainers and attended a variety of dog classes over the last two decades and multiple dogs. ... Sarah's approach comes with a deep, deep understanding of dogs, compassion, logic and a human kindness that is never about dominance or obedience. ... We have learned a lot from her that carries far beyond just our dogs and I am grateful that we have had the chance to work with her with newest puppy, Petey! She is an amazing trainer.”
