Testimonials
“I’m so grateful to have found Sara! She helped change both a reactive dog and a nervous owner so that we can safely and enjoyably go on walks and outings! She helped Arlo develop skills to deal with his big emotions and helped me learn how to communicate with him. I highly recommend Sara!”

“Sara was absolutely amazing with my little chihuahua, Sheba! After just a few sessions, Sheba was reliably potty trained and her nonstop barking has all but disappeared. Sara’s gentle and positive approach made the whole process stress-free for both of us! I couldn’t be happier with the results!”
– Name
“We highly recommend Sara! Our dog absolutely loves her & she gets so excited every time she sees her, which speaks for itself. Sara has given us the tools and skills we need to better manage her reactivity, and we’ve already seen so many positive changes in her behavior. We’re still actively working with her, but the progress so far has been amazing and provided relief to our family. Having a reactive dog can be stressful and Sara has provided us with many helpful strategies. Couldn’t be happier with the support and guidance Sara provides.”
