Satisfied owners, happy dogs!
We’ve been working with Sarah since our golden retriever Reggie was around 4 months old, initially to address concerns like biting and difficulty settling in the living room. As time went on, other training needs surfaced, such as recall, focus, jumping up, and general adolescent behavior. Although we had started basic training ourselves, we were running out of ideas on how to tackle these problem areas.
Sarah has been absolutely amazing! We had four one-to-one sessions with her and are now doing group training. Every session, she’s been incredibly insightful, offering practical advice and even recommending different treats, chews, and a change in Reggie’s food, which he loves. Her knowledge and understanding have been invaluable, and she’s been so accommodating, always happy to help, even over the phone during tough moments.
Reggie adores Sarah, and we now have so many tools, tricks, and games to keep him engaged. The progress he’s made has been incredible—everyone comments on how well-behaved he is for his age. We’re so grateful to have found Sarah and couldn’t recommend her enough!

Highly recommend Sarah. She has been very helpful during our 1 to 1 sessions. It’s really helped us start to get Wilson to settle in the house and focus more on walks. She has loads of great advice, tips and recommendations that have come in super handy, and she is really friendly and very knowledgeable.

We contacted Sarah when we got our new addition Otis, a Labrador retriever. From the first session we felt confident that with the tools Sarah had equipped us with, that we would be able to ‘enjoy’ Otis, and have control rather than him controlling us!!
Our aims initially were to walk successfully on the lead, sit, stay and not ‘jump’ over visitors to the house - in fact, we got more than this in the first few sessions! We are looking forward to the next step which is group sessions and can’t thank Sarah enough for her words of wisdom!!

I contacted Sarah for some help and support with my new puppy Pip. Sarah has given us some tips and tricks to help Pip through his teething stage and out on walks. He is much calmer out and around other dogs and humans, which is such a relief as he is definitely an attention seeker! Sarah was calm and super friendly which put myself and Pip at ease

Contacted Sarah, as we wanted some support and training sessions for our puppy Hank. Sarah was very friendly and very knowledgeable. She was amazing with Hank, Sarah really took her time with our puppy as he was very nervous. We had constant support from Sarah, if we had a question it was always met with understanding.
Thanks to Sarah, Hank is definitely a different puppy now. He's starting to get more and more confident. We couldn't thank Sarah enough for all of her support. I would highly recommend for any support with puppy/dog training.

Sarah has been absolutely invaluable to us as inexperienced puppy owners. She is extremely knowledgeable and gave us lots of advice and tips to help us with our cavapoo pup as well as introducing us to the best training methods to use. The one to one sessions were great to give us the bespoke advice we needed to get started and the puppy classes have developed our skills, as well as giving our pup a chance to socialise with other dogs. Sarah was able to advise us on everything from toilet training to what food to give and how to deal with biting, and was able to tailor her advice to our family life and situation rather than just using a one size fits all approach. She is very friendly and approachable, and is patient when explaining new things or demonstrating techniques. We are looking forward to continuing to work together in puppy classes because our dog enjoys them so much (and so do we!) We have already recommended Sarah to other puppy owners and will continue to do so. Thank you Sarah for everything you've done for us!

Highly recommend Sarah. we have a 6 month cockapoo and had no idea where to start with him. Sarah has taught us so much. Even involving my husband and Daughter. Bailey wouldn't go in his crate when I first had him but only one session of 1 2 1 and Bailey was sleeping in his crate by the end of the day. He was also scared to walk down the stairs and one session with Sarah and help on what I needed to do he nailed it. Bailey loves to learn and loves Sarah's classes. Can't wait for the next one

Sarah has been a great help with her top tips and great advice. I have a 5 month old cockapoo and Sarah's help and advice in our sessions have worked wonders with him. The sessions have involved my daughters and Sarah has had so much patience with them helping them to teach him new things.
Yesterday my youngest daughter and I took Llew on a long walk and for the majority of the walk Llew was off his lead but was so good when my daughter called him back even with lots of distractions around.
Thanks Sarah...looking forward to our next session!
