Just wanted to say a Big Thank you to Sarah, probably the best "no nonsense" dog trainer I've had the pleasure to know. Must be the Yorkshire side coming forth. My rescue dog was a nightmare with other dogs when I first had her. She's still very anxious around them, but I can cope better with the situations, because I now understand her trigger distance and read her body language much better before it escalates and this is all down to Sarah.

Excellent delivery of great courses broken down into bite sized chunks. They contain lots of videos and visuals making them so much easier to follow. I've recently completed two courses, both which have been invaluable in helping me understand not only our family dog, but the behaviour of other dogs too. Alongside these courses, Sarah provides great online support encouraging lots of questions along the way. These courses are a must for anyone wanting to understand and improve their relationship with their own dogs or any dogs they come into contact with Professionally/ Non professionally. Thank you for two great courses Sarah.

Sarah has helped me so much with my German Shepherd, she is not the easiest of dogs but Sarah has given me the confidence to progress with Milly's training and it is working. Highly recommend.
