Testimonials
Sarah is amazing with my dog Reggie and he has made amazing progress under her care. He is a stubborn guy sometimes and her chemistry with him is really the key to his success. She picks him up once a week to play and learn, he has a blast with her and comes back home ready for a world class nap. Having such a convenient option for getting him the enrichment and socialization while I am at work has made a huge difference in both of our lives. I can’t recommend her services enough, especially with the weather getting cold and not having as much time outside.
