Ellie

“Sarah is truly exceptional. I first worked with her over three years ago, and to this day, she continues to be an incredible resource for me and my dog, Ellie. From the beginning, Sarah went above and beyond — helping us navigate Ellie’s confidence struggles and reactivity. Thanks to Sarah’s guidance, we’ve overcome every challenge together. Anytime I reach out, she’s there with support and expert advice. I recommend her to everyone I know with a dog — her passion, patience, and dedication truly set her apart.” -Ellie’s Mom


Maggie

“Sarah was absolutely amazing with our 4 year old springer spaniel, Maggie! From day one, she brought patience, positivity, and a clear understanding of how to work with Maggie’s high energy and intelligence. Thanks to Sarah’s training, Maggie is more focused and better behaved. We couldn’t be more grateful for the progress we’ve seen, Sarah truly has a gift with dogs.” -Maggie’s Mom & Dad


Opie

“In December 2021, I found a beautiful English Springer Spaniel on-line for sale from a breeder and fell in love. His name was Opie so we kept his name. He was so darn cute but came to us very skittish at 5 months old. I had trained 3 other dogs, but with this one, I knew I was out of my league.

It was very difficult with two dogs as Opie was not even trained to walk on a leash. I had to teach him basic commands but he was just wild. He would put his front paws on the kitchen counter. He was scared of kids and noises and any dog running towards him. My wife was very sick at the time so I knew I needed some help to get this guy under control.

After researching a bit in the early spring I found Sarah. She came to my home for an hour each week for 8 weeks to work with Opie. He growled at her for the first 3 weeks. Sarah’s skills are excellent and she makes sure you understand what she is telling you. She teaches you the methods to control your dog. And we had to work on building Opie’s confidence.

Opie is almost 4 years old now. I can highly recommend Sarah as a dog trainer.  She understands all breeds of dogs and can customize a training program that is the best fit for you and your dog. Opie is one of the happiest dogs I have ever owned. Sarah was able to teach me how to build his confidence and how to ensure he is under control at all times.” – Opie’s Dad


Marley

“Our miniature poodle Marley was about 6 months old when we started training sessions with Sarah. He responded instantly to her commands and methods. The very first day she was here I was blown away by his obedience to her. Sarah has a very calm but firm demeanor. She taught us about the importance of positive reinforcement, including treats. Our training sessions covered the scenarios that our household regularly encounters.

We have had relatives comment on how well trained and intuitive Marley is. Sarah is for sure a dog whisperer. We are grateful for her expertise.” -Marley’s Moms


Spitz

“My husband and I adopted a 2 ½ year old Shepherd-Husky mix named Spitz. He’s a sweet dog, but we were having a hard time trying to discipline him. Additionally, due to a health condition, I have balance issues, and I was worried about trying to walk him because he is 60 pounds, and he pulled a lot on the leash. Sarah came to our home and worked with us and Spitz once per week for 5 weeks. After 5 weeks, Spitz is disciplined, and walks well on the leash, and I am able to take him out for walks without concern. Sarah is professional and reliable. She also answered all of our questions patiently. I highly recommend her!” – Spitz’s Mom
