Incredible trainer, Sarah is so knowledgeable on dogs and dog training methods. In just one session I could see a difference. I would highly recommend her.

Sarah was absolutely fantastic! She helped us with basic commands for our rescue dog all the way through to more challenging behaviour modifications. When we found that one command was not working she immediately had the answer of another way to help us. We have seen a huge change in our dog since we had her help! I would recommend her 100% to anyone. Many Thanks again. More...

Wouldn’t recommend her. Nice enough lady but didn’t want to leave my kitchen to deal with the dogs recall issues

I apologise that my service did not satisfy your expectations. I set a high standard for myself and are truly sorry to hear that standard was not met in your interaction with my business. Your happiness is our number one priority. The Puppy training booklet is not available to everyone, if you would like to contact me I am willing to give you 30 minutes of my time to address the issue with the recall and barking in garden.

After one introductory session (mainly talking) its too early to provide a rating on any dog training. Initial feeling is that Dog Trainer is professional, knowledgeable and competent . Looking forward to a good working relationship that helps to get our two spaniels trained for better walking and more. More...

Sarah came to the house to give 3 lessons to our 6 month old puppy.
Immediately after the first lesson we could see the difference.
Our puppy and ourselves enjoyed every minute and can't thank Sarah enough. Would highly recommend.
We will now attend her group training sessions going forward.

Sarah is a fantastic and effective dog trainer. She is very patient and calm, and so her classes have a lovely, calm atmosphere, where all kinds of dogs can quieten down and focus on their owners. I am learning a lot of useful techniques for training my dog, that I can take away from the classes. Thanks to Sarah's guidance, we're making some really good progress More...

We had a great experience with Jaime! We learned so much!! Jaime is very clear and will tell you right away what is going on with your dog. So much of dog training is human training and education. She gave us very clear guidelines of what we should do to get Winnie...and us on the right path. I’m so glad we signed up for her program. More...

Jaime worked wonders with my Golden Retriever pup, Chief! When Jaime started working with Chief, he was an anxious and impulsive dog. He jumped up on guests and pulled during walks. There were walks that I took with him that I did not think I would get through. After working with Jaime, though, I feel like he is a new dog! Of course, he still has his same, spunky personality, but he is much more behaved. Now when we have guests over, he greets them when told to do so and does so by sitting patiently until they initiate a greeting. Our walks are much more enjoyable as he walks by my side calmly. I had three sessions with Jaime, but started seeing results almost instantly after our initial consultation. She is truly incredible at what she does, and I highly recommend her services! More...

Murphy is a 9 month old Bernese Mountain Dog. Very happy but some issues. Anxiety, ADD and after an injury hard to housebreak. I sent him to Jaime for her board and train. I liked the idea of him in a home setting. I wanted a trained dog but still a happy dog, not a Soldier. I am happy to say he came back wonderful! I’m so happy because he still has the joy in his heart, but all the negative issues are gone. I HIGHLY recommend Jamie! ❤️ More...

I bought my puppy not really having any idea what to expect...it's a dog right? Treat it well and it will love you! I wish someone had told me to get myself trained before I got a puppy. As he grew I realized no matter how many youtube videos watched it was not enough! I found Jaime through a local doggie daycare We decided the 2 week board and train would be best for our situation. Denali is a Bernese Mountain Dog/Poodle mix and was jumping, barking and crazy Impulsive, eating socks, and paper things. Just 2 weeks of training and he was calmer, he would stay on a "place" his cot, he didn't drag me on our walks. People would say how well he would behave and when they found out he was less than a year old they were amazed. OMG I love Jaime she has been a GOD Sent. Jaime came back for a follow-up visit and had to run back to her car and Denali actually cried when she left. He loves her and so do I! Thank you for all you help and continued support.

Thank you Sarah for your help guidance and expertise all done in a very calm manner. One to one training has really helped. We can see a massive difference in our lovely Jack Russell. He is much calmer and responding to all the training. We can now concentrate on moving this forward with practise but know Sarah is there to contact should we need any help. We have more confidence in ourselves to train our rescue dog. Definitely recommend. More...

Jaime is amazing! She gave us so much useful information and helped us truly connect with our pup and establish boundries; he is a big boy with lots of energy and he totally knew how to manipulate us. She goes above and beyond with recommendations for toys to keep him engaged to detailed notes about every session. She is flexible, personable, funny, and organized. Also, our dog loves her!

What do you love most about your job?
I love seeing the dogs behaviour change, it makes me feel good knowing I have helped both dog and owner. Owners are pleased as they can see a big difference in their dogs behaviour in as little as a week. I get great satisfaction from my profession.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I instruct at 2 dog training clubs and I was getting great feedback from both. I was asked by both clubs to help owners on a one to one basis for behavioural needs. I am working towards my KCAI for dog training and behaviour. I feel I understand what dogs are feeling and why they show signs of unwanted behaviour. I am really interested in dog Psychology. Which then lead me to the behavioural side of dog training.
Why should our clients choose you?
I have a calm and patient approach to owners and dogs, I talk through the behavioural problems you are experiencing then put a training plan into action. I only use positive reward based training. You are welcome to join us for a group session as they are drop in classes. I know coming along to the first session can be a little daunting, but you will be made to feel very welcome. Ask as many questions as you like, as I am here to help you and your dog.
I am friendly, patient and polite, I continue to update my knowledge by going to seminars, workshops and researching via the internet and books.
