4 weeks
4 hours of trainer support per week, including:
+ 2 follow-up sessions
Each week I’ll map out simple steps to move your progress forward. We’ll meet online three times throughout the week to coach you through your steps and teach you the tricks to peaceful walks. Video review sessions will provide a unique opportunity for me to observe your real-life walks together, and I’ll also check in with you via a shared online task list several times each week for a bit of extra support. My goal is to have you feeling relaxed and confident on your end of the leash, and your dog relaxed and calm on the other. (We’ll use our 2 follow-up sessions to make sure that relief sticks!)

4 weeks
4 hours of trainer support per week, including:
+ 2 follow-up sessions
Each week I’ll take your dog out into the world for on-location training, using positive techniques to show him a new way of responding to seeing other dogs. I’ll transfer progress to you in a fun, hands-on session at the end of each week. Then we’ll use our two follow-up sessions to make sure everything is feeling good before we call it a wrap. My goal is to have you feeling relaxed and confident on your end of the leash, and your dog relaxed and calm on the other.
I’m passionate about teaching your dog a new way of behaving around fellow canines, so you can both fully enjoy your walks together. Living with a reactive dog myself, I know what you’re going through–and what it means to find relief.
You should know I create that relief without borrowing harsh, traditional old-school training equipment and tactics from the past. I want you and your dog to enjoy achieving your training results as much as you’ll enjoy the results themselves.
As a serious dog lover you’ll no doubt want to know more about my science-based, force-free training methods and my extensive training credentials. I invite you to learn more about your trainer here. [Add text or button link to About page.]
I am finally confident taking Rosie on walks knowing that I have the skills to make sure we are both having a good time!

A worthy investment. We had some behavioral issues with our dog that we thought might escalate to aggressive behavior. Sara helped us streamline our training, become better trainers, and gave us the tools to ensure our dog was in a happy, structured environment. It is pricey, but it was worth it.

Cool tips and hot tricks—and other generally useful info—for living your best life with your best friend.
Rest assured, I refuse to barrage you with emails or sell your address. It’s not my style…and I’m way too busy training dogs and their people! 🙂
