Introduction
Hey y'all, I'm Sarah! Some things you should know about me is that I have a Master Trainer certification through Highland Canine where I graduated in the top of my class. I also took part in the Paws4people Service Dog Training Program while I was attending UNCW where I got to work with adult service dogs in training for a couple of years. While there, I participated in their puppy development internship where I was able to care for and train service dog puppies from the time they were 2 weeks old until they were about 4 months old, and ultimately got a certification in puppy development when it ended. All of this education has given me a really strong knowledge on dog behavior, socialization, different training techniques as well as how to apply them, and has taught me a lot about patience and how to best work with different breeds and different personalities. My goal as a trainer is to give your dog the best training possible. I choose to customize my training plans to each individual dog so that every dog is set up for success. Some of my specialties include: -Service dog training: Psychiatric, Autism assistance, mobility/stability, medical alert, hearing alert -Therapy dog training -Puppy training -Obedience -Search & Rescue -Behavior Modification

Sarah helped me and my husband train our lab when he was a puppy with basic commands and recently also helped us train him using a prong collar since he had a tendency to pull with a standard harness (he's now 2). She is very knowledgeable and understanding of individual dogs needs.

I can already see a big difference in Jarvis. I cannot wait to continue training with Sarah!

Sarah did an awesome job working with my out of control puppy. She was able to channel his energy into obedience in a way that made it fun and rewarding for him.

I have a Siberian husky puppy that I was struggling to maintain control and needed help, when I contacted her and told her about my current situation she were very eager to help, and after many training sessions my husky puppy now has obedience training and I also understand what I have to do to maintain his energy and control him better.
