Sarah is so enthusiastic, professional and always encouraging. She has so much knowledge and helpful, practical advice. I have learnt so much. The best bit is our puppy is responding well to all the training. I feel so much more confident when dealing with my puppy. We are both happy customers!! More...

We have just had our first training session with Sarah. Sarah is so personable and clearly very passionate about her job. Our dog, Luna, loved her and so did we ! All of Sarah’s training was fun and really easy for all the family to understand. Luna is already showing improvements and we are feeling a sense of relief that with Sarah’s help we will provide Luna with the best environment to help her live her best doggy life! More...

Truly amazing. What a difference Sahra has made, to not only for our slightly unruly 3 month old Border Collie but for us, now being able to understand why he was stuggling to behave and help him get it right. Well worth it and would highly recommend using Sahra. More...

Dog Training
We have had a couple of sessions with Sarah so far, and I only have good things to say! Sarah has a great way of explaining everything we are doing with the dogs, and why. She is very enthusiastic and always sends a detailed summary of what we have covered each session, with reminders, hints/tips of how to proceed with the training in between her visits. If we have had any questions, Sarah is very responsive to texts, emails and calls - and I have every faith she will help us with our two pooches! 😃 Would highly recommend. More...

If you're looking for a dog trainer then one of things you should look for is qualification, and Sarah has that in spades. Sadly the industry is not regulated and it's easy for people who don't know what they're doing to set up shop and ruin your dog. With Sarah you don't take that risk. Sarah is highly knowledgable, highly qualified and works using positive training and does not use any negative or unsavoury reinforcement methods. Sarah's understanding of how the canine mind works is second to none and she acts and trains with your dog as a priority at all times. I went through 6 dog trainers before I found Sarah, someone who could understand and effectively work with my anti-social who had been so misunderstood by previous trainers. If your serious about making life better for your dog and you, then definitely call Sarah. More...

What do you love most about your job?
Every day is different and it is great to see how much the dogs and their families learn and how they improve over time. Being able to help people to have better relationships with their dogs and enjoy living with their dogs more is very rewarding or me.
Why should our clients choose you?
Because I offer a service which is completely tailored to you and your animal. I believe that every animal and their family is different and will work with you to find the right solution that will be most beneficial for you.
I don't make impossible promises about changing your dog's behaviour with just one visit, but instead help you to work at your dog's pace so that they learn well and enjoy the training experience. Training should be fun!
