Tranquil Dog is a dog training business led by Sara that offers behavior therapy and obedience training focused on natural, non-aversive methods. The program emphasizes understanding dog behavior, improving communication between dogs and owners, and building trust and mutual respect. Training includes customized behavior therapy sessions that begin with a two-hour classroom session without the dog, followed by private follow-ups. Diet and wellness are integrated into all training plans, with guidance on dog food and health to support behavioral improvement. No shock collars are used, and training is tailored to individual needs. Services include basic obedience, puppy rearing, private sessions, and behavior modification for issues like reactivity, separation anxiety, and fearfulness. The facility hosts group classes and intensive training programs, and Sara uses her own dogs for socialization. The business also offers video learning, blog articles, and fundraising for animal shelters.

Sara provides in-person training at her facility in Lenoir, NC, and works with dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors. Clients report significant progress in just a few days, especially with rescued or anxious dogs. The approach is holistic, combining behavior therapy with lifestyle and dietary recommendations to create lasting change.

Tranquil Dog also offers day training and board-and-train options, with clients able to drop off their dogs for structured programs. The business supports foster and adopted dogs through collaboration with animal rescues.

All training is designed to empower owners with knowledge and tools to maintain progress at home, with an emphasis on working with nature rather than against it.
