“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.”
