Clients Say…

Lexington and I would love to come back and continue learning about the art of being a good dog.

We had a great experience. I have quite a bit of experience training dogs and taught our Bigi basic obedience. I had never done agility and was interested to learn about it. I learned a lot and it was great for Bigi as well.
Jason F. with Bigi
Hi Sarah, I hope you are doing well and your puppy too! My parents got home a couple days ago and say Sam is doing well. Thank you for everything. Sammy is already improving and loves me more.

So amazing. I can’t wait to take another class. I’ve always loved training and working with Sierra but after this freestyle class, I feel so much more motivation. I am so excited to take future classes there with Sierra!

Daphne Doggie Photo
We really loved giving Daphne the opportunity to do Recreational Agility every week. She has become a better listener (although not less talkative…) and more confident in her movements. She has the tendency to be insecure with walking on certain textures and things that don’t feel balanced, so seeing her conquer the raised walk-way, teeter-totter, and wobble board was great. Amanda was a great instructor and truly cared about our dog.
Tricia M. with Daphne
puppy training
“It was interesting to see how splitting the larger puppies from the smaller puppies allowed for the shyer smaller pup to gain confidence.”
Heather M. with Hunter
Younger and Older Comparison of Dog Grace
There was not one thing more valuable than any other. And that is the whole point and why I love training my dog (s) here. Everything is inter-connected and builds upon itself so that each part is just as important as the last thing you learned here. Sarah really gets that and can relate that so well to her students, human and canine both.
Margaret W. with Grace

Sarah has an unassuming, unpretentious demeanor; a wonderful philosophy and a sound, definitive step by step curriculum all of which are outstanding and reflective of her expertise and devotion to her calling as a trainer. She is a blessing to any dog or dog owner who happens to call upon her.
Lorraine S. with Junior
pug dog
My daughters and I had a terrific experience learning from Sarah!! She is so knowledgable, helpful and pleasant which made our sessions happy and productive. Sarah patiently addressed any questions or issues I had with very practical strategies. I think we’re off to a good start with Gizmo thanks to our work with Sarah!
Kathy A. with Gizmo

I loved the intro to agility class and so did Libby. Amanda was great – always upbeat and helpful. I would love to take another class on agility.
