Has your puppy gone wild? Feeling like maybe you didn’t think this adventure through?
I see you. I see the accidents on your rugs, your bleeding hands and wrists, your mangled sunglasses. I can help you tame the beast and chart a course to a puppy who potties in the right places and chews on her own toys instead of you and yours.
Puppies learn everything fast—the pleasing and the problematic. Now’s the time to prepare for your lifetime journey together with expert, private positive reinforcement training.
I’ll get you from problem to solution in no time. |

I train your puppy for you, then teach you
I’ll design and implement your customized training plan, come to your home for all hands-on training sessions, and head-out from there for field trips and practice out-and-about. Then I’ll transfer your puppy’s new professionally trained skills to you.
I coach you while you train your puppy
I’ll create a customized training plan for your dog and your goals, then support you step-by-step either in-person or via easy online videoconference. We go at your pace and add difficulty as you acquire your new set of training skills.

Each week I’ll meet with your puppy—starting at your home then moving out into the world. Using positive techniques to show him how to offer you his best behavior. We’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 you feel confident maintaining your puppy’s new behavior before we call it a wrap.
Your puppy’s developmental stage will determine some of our curriculum. Goals to be determined based on your puppy during our consultation.
Trainer Support Includes:
Each week I’ll map out simple steps to move your progress forward. We’ll meet online two times throughout the week to coach you through your steps and teach you how to get and maintain your puppy’s best behavior. We’ll also problem-solve any puppy shenanigans that arise along the way. Video review sessions will provide a unique opportunity for me to experience your training sessions out in the world, and I’ll also check in with you via a shared online task list several times each week for a bit of extra support. (We’ll use our 2 follow-up sessions to make sure you’re well on your way to better behavior with your puppy!)
Your puppy’s developmental stage will determine some of our curriculum. Specific goals to be determined during our consultation.

Before (or right after) Your Puppy Comes Home
Get your questions answered and take the guess work—and the stress—out of the first few days and weeks with your puppy.
First-night plans, house training strategies and home set-up are only a few of the important decisions ahead. How you introduce your puppy to your home matters, and impacts your life and the dog your puppy will become.
I’ll help you chart a course through the most common puppy behavior issues and provide a road map for nurturing a dog friend you can take anywhere.
Armed with the best information, you’ll make choices that ensure the best possible outcomes now and in the future.
It’s a lot harder to fix problem behavior than to get it right the first time — and you have better things to do. Like enjoying life with your dog.

Online Trial Session Special: 1-Hour. $145
Nothing gives me more pleasure than teaching my client’s dogs to behave. Whether in a training session or on a group walk, I seek every possibility to create positive learning opportunities. I am thrilled by the moment they get it, when you can see that light bulb switch on, when they understand good things are coming their way and they offer you their best behavior. Then doing the right thing becomes fun and training progress accelerates. Regardless of breed or age, I approach every dog with curiosity and respect. Because I’m passionate about getting the best results for both you and your dog, I look for the best in your best friend, and seek to combine the specific and unique ingredients that will help you live a stress-free, fulfilling life together.
The trainer is well trained!!! Learned! Experienced! Insightful! Intuitive! Not only can she train your puppy…you get trained too. It’s all part of the package and enjoyable as Sara is fun to have around.

Sara guided us through our Bernese Mountain Dog puppy’s first couple of months, and she gave us the start we were hoping for. She worked effortlessly with him, always showing patience, compassion and kindness.

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! 🙂
