Testimonials

“I am so thankful we found Sarah and committed to her 4-week training plan this summer. Oliver, my 4yo French Bulldog, has been reactive on-leash towards dogs and people since he was a pup… We now seek out busy areas to work on his training and continue to expose him to different environments and situations with the confidence that we as his people know how to read his behavior and we have the tools to help him act appropriately.”
– Stephanie H.

“Sarah is incomparable. She uses training that utilizes methods which, unlike most, won’t traumatize your dog but WILL give you results. She truly understands dogs to their very core and has solutions for seemingly every situation, none of which being harmful or scary to your dog.”

“Working with Sarah has been wonderful! She helped me and my doggo build meaningful skills to work through his reactivity. The best part is being able to work as a team with him and NOT have control OVER him.”

About the Trainer

At Synergy Dog Training & Behavior Solutions, Sarah and Annie are certified dog trainers with over 35–40 years of combined experience helping dog owners overcome behavioral challenges and build stronger, more confident relationships with their dogs. They offer private training, group classes, and a unique Sniff Space Retreat — a private, off-leash indoor and outdoor play area for stress-free dog exercise. Their approach emphasizes positive, play-based learning that fosters cooperation rather than control, helping dogs thrive in real-world environments. They specialize in reactivity, fearfulness, leash pulling, and separation anxiety, and work with all dog types, ages, and backgrounds — including sensitive, scared, or previously abused dogs. They also provide remote online training for clients outside their service area and offer a VIP program with unlimited private and group sessions. Their team is known for empathy, flexibility, and personalized plans that prioritize the dog’s emotional well-being and the owner’s lifestyle.

They are certified professionals with affiliations to the International Association of Canine Professionals and are AKC Canine Good Citizen Evaluators. Their training philosophy is rooted in science-based, force-free methods that avoid fear or punishment, making them ideal for owners seeking humane, effective solutions.

In addition to training, they offer a curated resource library on topics like nutrition, pet safety, and breed-specific needs, and their Sniff Space Retreat provides a safe, controlled environment for dogs to explore and socialize without the stress of public parks.

Accomplishments

Sarah has over 30 years of experience, served as Chief Operations Officer for Dogs Playing for Life, trained dogs confiscated from abuse and hoarding cases with the ASPCA, and managed the Training & Behavior Department at Longmont Humane Society.
