“Sarah was absolutely terrific!! We learned so much in a quick session, and have already started implementing her techniques into the training of our 10-week old puppy. We will certainly continue the training sessions, as we restructured our entire training method - due to Sarah!! Her guidance has been immense, and we will continue to utilize her tips and tap into her expertise.”

“We were hesitant to send our 10 week old puppy Scout to Sarah’s imprinting program for one week. It seemed too good to be true! She wasn’t sleeping, and she was growling and nipping. After sending her to stay with Sarah her sleeping is amazing -  nights and naps have been so so easy; she is so well scheduled, it is like night and day!  She was tearing up and eating grass like a cow and now she barely touches grass, if at all. She also learned to control her nipping.  Sarah helped us understand that staring at her directly in the eyes was frightening her (we didn’t know that only people stare face to face and that dog’s can get scared when people stare at them!). She learned to go to one place to potty and she’s picking it right up! She seems loves all the toys you selected based on what she loved in your care.   My favorite favorite thing is all the videos and photos you sent while she was there: we never felt out of touch! Thanks Sarah—you gave us our life back and now we have an amazing little pup who we completely understand.”

“Our family hired Sarah for imprinting our new 8 week old puppy. She was incredibly easy to work with, explaining exactly what would happen, what to expect, and how often she would be in touch with us. The imprinting visit could not have gone better – in fact, I would describe it as a MIRACLE. Within a very short period of time our puppy was peacefully sleeping through the night, peeing and pooping OUTSIDE (even ringing the BELL to go out), coming when we called her, eating like a champ and at the end of the day winding down to quietly sitting in our lap. We were given a very precise schedule/plan which we have followed making the transition home so much easier. While not every day has been as picture perfect as with Sarah the experience was incredibly easier with Sarah’s expertise and help. Oh and did I mention Sarah has been completely available for follow up questions and reminders ? I could not recommend her and her team more. Thank you Sarah!”

"We met Sarah when we brought our new puppy home and ended up with legs and hands covered in scratches from a nippy pup. We were frustrated and at a loss of what to do until Sarah simplified everything, getting me and my puppy on the same page. Sarah's response was quick (thank god!) and she truly changed my entire understanding of puppyhood. She provided details on the science and inner workings of a puppy's minds, and how to "speak the same language", as well as tips for potty training, a sleep schedule and how to play together. Much of Sarah's lessons are in the form of games for your puppy, keeping you both entertained as well as learning. Fast forward a few months and we found ourselves in need of Sarah's help once again. We've been working with her regularly and have seen a vast improvement in our puppy's behavior. We also feel more confident and equipped with our training ability. Sarah has been a savior for us and we cannot thank her enough! "Sarah Says" is a phrase used daily in our home!”

I met Sarah when my boyfriend and I hired her to help our pets get along…I was so nervous that my boyfriend thought hiring anyone to enter our house was a waste of money. We were so wrong! Our dog and cat were playing around looking for treats in less than an hour. I learned so much! Her company so clearly loves animals—it’s effective, professional help that you, your dog, and your cats will love.

“Sarah is a wonder who understands dogs in ways that are transformative for their owners. Before our puppy Percy came home to live with us, he spent a week doing imprint training with Sarah. Not only did she help him become comfortable and happy being alone in his crate and sleep through the night, but she also helped him learn how to express his joyful enthusiasm without jumping, to sit politely to ask for things, and that human beings like kisses instead of nips, and the meaning of various words like, sit, come, to your mat, and many more. She exposed him to myriad sights, sounds, and experiences that ensured he is calm and happy in all sorts of situations-- he loves meeting new people, and new animals, exploring new places, and taking a bath! Above all, Sarah was able to teach us about Percy's personality in ways that allow us to understand how to motivate, comfort, and teach Percy so that he is a happy, healthy, and enjoyable member of our family. Her devotion to and connection with the animals she lives and works with is nothing less than magical. Percy had a heavenly week with her, and we continue to reap the benefits of Sarah's insights and wise counsel.”

I have had both digital and in-person training sessions with Sarah regarding my rescue dog. She not only helped me to address any behavioral problems we were having but also helped me to understand my dog's personality and understanding of the world. Sarah's way of explaining things is totally comprehensive and considers the owner's lifestyle. She didn't teach me to put my life on hold for my pet but to build a life with my pet. Finally, she didn't teach me how to mold an obedient dog. She worked with me to help make my dog happy, who wants to be my good boy.

“Sarah was just amazing with our dog Willie! Will did a group class with Sarah when he was a puppy, and this week she came to do an at-home session with us. The results with Sarah were astonishing! We learned so much in such a short time, and we feel equipped to conquer the handful of behavioral challenges we face as Willie’s parents. Willie responded to Sarah like an old friend! Thank you, Sarah!”

“We sent TWO crazy Weimaraner puppies to Sarah, and they came back as angels. Before Sarah, they would cry the ENTIRE night. Pull hard on a leash, rarely come to us, and jump on everyone. Sarah quickly got the reasons behind these behaviors, provided training for them and videos for us to keep, and an in-depth profile of each puppy's profile, what motivates them, and how to use that to give both them and us the best life. After ONE WEEK with Sarah, they sleep through the night, respond to many commands, and walk and greet politely. - they had even been paddle boarding! We can take them anywhere now with no hesitation. She is not a dog trainer; she is THE dog trainer. You cannot find a better person for your dog and family to work with.”

“Sarah eased my biggest fear, introducing our puppy to our kids and grandchildren. I worried about the children getting nipped by Ruby’s razor-sharp puppy teeth and forever being fearful of dogs. I probably would have kept her in her create most of their visit but no… Sarah taught us how to have the puppy close by the whole time. It was a milestone weekend for both the puppy and the babies! Thank you, Sarah, for training the whole family.”
