Wondering if virtual dog training is practical? Absolutely! In fact, experience has shown that it can be an even better option than in-person visits. With virtual lessons, we can exchange videos and give guidance on how to teach your dog. Unlike in-person training, which can focus more on the trainer's relationship with your pup, virtual lessons empower you to train your dog more effectively. Scheduling is flexible and accessible from any location, so I can work with your whole family.

Testimonials
"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!"

“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.”

“I never thought someone could help my family train our dog to have good manners. We have been unsure of what to do and how to do it. Sarah has been wonderful! She takes her time with us and explains what she is doing. She demonstrates proper techniques and then allows us to carry them out. With her guidance, our dog has calmed down and is a better-behaved part of our family. She also lets us record parts of the session so that we are able to review the proper technique between sessions. I highly recommend Sarah to anyone that would like to train their pets.”

“I can't say enough wonderful things about Sarah! We recently got a golden retriever puppy. Not our first dog, just our first puppy. We were overwhelmed and so was our other dog (age 14). I quickly started researching programs. I immediately liked Sarah as a person - so effusive and also firm and so very knowledgable. I was a little skeptical about how much she could do with Georgia in just 1 week but we were happily surprised! Georgia came home a different dog. Best money spent and more importantly, we got our puppy joy.”

“There are no words to describe Sarah, she saved us! We adopted a dog post pandemic that was not socialized or trained, coming into a family with no dog experience, which resulted in a bad situation. We met Sarah at Bedford Barks and she and her family welcomed my family into their home. She comforted my girls with the help of her adorable litter from Peekaboo. As luck would have it, within time, a puppy became available. She has guided us through and will continue to be a member of our family, as she has so kindly done for us!”

“My veterinarian recommended Sarah to me years ago, and I have been working with her ever since! This is my third dog Sarah has helped me with. She is understanding, patient, and kind with both my dog and me, while encouraging us both along the way. Her knowledge and experience are impressive and ever growing. I have recommended Sarah to several of my friends and neighbors, all whom were more than satisfied with the end results. Sarah is professional while maintaining a warm and personal touch considering the individual needs of each dog and owner. Working with Sarah is always a successful and fun experience. I wouldn't work with anyone else!”
