Testimonials
“I can’t recommend Manners Matter K9 Training enough. Sarah has a real gift for working with dogs and their owners. She takes the time to understand each dog’s unique personality and needs, and her approach is both patient and effective. What really stands out is how much she genuinely cares–she doesn’t just teach commands, she helps build a better relationship between you and your dog.
The progress I’ve seen has been incredible, and Sarah explains everything in a way that makes it easy to continue the training at home. She’s professional, reliable, and makes the whole process enjoyable. If you’re looking for someone who truly knows dogs and wants the best for them, Sarah is the trainer to call.”

“Since that review, we STILL do training regularly with Sarah. Some may worry, 3 years and your dog hasn’t progressed? Let me explain… he has now become so neutral towards dogs… We are asked to show up and help other dogs who were once in Ollie’s spot. She takes him several days a week now during the day… She is very reliable and treats my dog as an extension of her own dogs.”
– Laura Lawrence
“Sarah has helped with our dog Millie for the past 5 months and it’s been an amazing experience… Sarah genuinely cares about all the dogs she interacts with, and has a true passion for what she does. Additionally, her professionalism and communication are unmatched.”
