Testimonials

I have so much praise for my experience training with Sarah at IDTE. I am now able to have more fun with my dog because of what I’ve learned and I still marvel regularly at how much I didn’t know. Sarah has an intuition with animals that is beyond compare. I had done research on dog training and watched lots of Youtube videos but, hanging out with my dog and talking to Sarah is like have a translator with you in a foreign country. Suddenly behaviors have meaning and I know how to respond. I have had so many aha! moments with her explaining to me what my dogs motivation is and how I can communicate what I want from him to him. Also the property at IDTE has a network of walking trails which is a really great bonus. To be able to utilize hiking trails with no worries of random dogs is a great way to accustom your puppy to the outdoors.

Sarah Thompson has worked miracles with my dog. I adopted a shy lab from a local shelter who needed a lot of expert help. With Sarah’s expertise, our dog is blossoming into a wonderful treasure to our family. Sarah has advanced awareness of dog psychology and shares fascinating insights while effectively shaping desirable dog behaviors. I’d still love to get to her weekend group classes now and learn more techniques. I’d highly recommend her programs.

I highly recommend Sarah! My husband and I adopted a Doberman Pincher who had some issues and she showed us the tools we needed to help correct his behavior and he is by far the best dog besides my late doggie who passed 4 years ago. Cinch is a amazing dog and with Sarah’s help and guidance he became the perfect family dog for us.
