We completed a puppy class with Sarah for our first family dog, Dexter. He really flourished under Sarah's guidance learning the basics and developing confidence in his world. People often comment what a 'happy and sociable dog' he is which we believe is grounded in the positive start of socialisation and training promoted in Sarah's classes. Highly recommend - Sarah makes the classes fun for all whilst helping you give your pup a good start. More...

It is clear to anyone attending training classes with Sarah just how extensive her knowledge of dogs is and the love she shows for the dogs puts you immediately at ease. Sarah soon becomes a good friend and imparts her wealth of experience with all the professionalism and empathy there is while ensuring that handlers and dogs have fun. Nothing is to much trouble and no questions go unanswered. I would highly recommend the Puppy Trainer . Thanks Sarah for all your help. More...

Thank you so much Sarah. Tig and I loved this and tapping into his strong herding instincts makes so much sense. We also loved the chance to explore other play activities to build and maintain a really strong relationship. I really valued your guidance and pointers for how to continue to make progress. Gorgeous Kernow was a perfect demo dog too and watching him skilfully negotiate the "sheep " enabled us to see the elements of the game in detail.

I very highly recommend Sarah for her sensitive and confidence building approah to both dog and handler. The exercises were set up to enable consistency and clarity whilst keeping a focus on fun for all. 5*

I first contacted Sarah before we got our puppy Jess, Sarah gave me lots of good advice on bring puppy home and how to sever in. When I was not sure about anything I contacted Sarah and always had a quick response to my question. We decided to have a 1 to 1 at home which helped us in a lot of ways in Jess training. I had a problem in getting a collar/ harness on Jess a SOS went out and Sarah came to my home to help me and after 30 minutes we was able to get the harness on , now we have no problem and she loves going out on her walks. We had always intended going to puppy training classes and it was when I was looking for a class I came across Sarah I was so lucky to have found her and would highly recommend her , we have now completed 2 weeks of class and looking forward to week 3. Sarah is a member of The Kennel club good citizen dog scheme and everything she does is helping you have a very happy puppy/dog More...

Really wanted to thank you Sarah for the most informative session on puppy care we have had. Simply superb. Nothing I have read or undertaken with other trainers came close. It was so helpful to get the support around positive dog care and training and your advice on progression was invaluable. Jake clearly loved you! We've already started some of the techniques and it is paying dividends in less than 24hours. The north-west dog owners are so lucky to have you around! Thanks again. More...

Sarah has given us lots of good and useful advice regarding our 8 month old lab. Puppy classes were also great and Sarah was very patient (he can need a bit of time to settle into things! ). Sarah is very passionate and knowledgeable about dogs and would recommend to anyone! Thanks x More...

I first met Sarah when my puppy, Ruby was 10 weeks old. We brought her home at 8 weeks and I thought I was prepared having read numerous books and doing lots of research. I was wrong. Ruby was so excitable and just wanted to run around all the time, it was impossible to follow what the books had said. Sarah came to our home and went through some basic training with me. She demonstrated everything and asked me what specifically I was struggling with. She reassured me and I felt loads better when she left. She gave me practical advice on feeding, training, local daycare and pet sitting, puppy socialisation classes, introducing other dogs and much more. I contacted Sarah after our meeting a few times for advice and she was always more than happy to help and replies promptly. We went on to do puppy foundation and bronze course with Sarah which Ruby loved. Thanks for all your help Sarah! More...

Sarah is an amazing dog trainer! She helped us over Christmas when we got our new puppy. She gave advice on food, diet, treats, toileting, walking and general day to day behaviour. She also offered advise on how the children could be included in all of this. She has helped our dog to become a well trained puppy and most importantly a part of the family! I couldn't recommend her more highly. More...

Our pup Judy has been working with Sarah since she was 10 weeks old. We have been given great advice on food, training, play etc. all of which has been personalised to Judy's needs. We have also had 1-2-1 support to overcome Judy's nervousness which is really paying off with Sarah's continued support! Would really recommend the puppy trainer :) More...

Sarah came out to me to help with my reacue dog who was showing signs of aggression towards other dogs. I am so glad I chose her over other trainers in the area. Sarah's approach is personalised and she is so passionate about her work. She was able to answer all my questions and advised on a lot of things as well as behaviour (such a diet, distraction, massage techniques). She had time to talk and was able to go to the park with us so she could see my dogs behaviour and how I manage it. She helped me realise that my own anxiety was fuelling the behaviour and anxiety in my dog, and helped me to become more confident in handling her. We have both come such a long way since meeting Sarah, and she has always been available to answer questions since then. She goes above & beyond, and we are almost ready to start work in her group sessions, which was impossible a few months back. If you need help & support with your dog/dogs this is your woman; you will not be disappointed! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ More...

We have loved going to Sarah's puppy and dog classes with our new pooch. We have learned so much about behaviour/training and have already signed up for extra classes! We have also had great 121 support for our dog's nervousness and Sarah has been really helpful with this. Great trainer, we can't wait for our next classes! More...

Sarah was recommended to us to help with some behaviour problems that our miniature schnauzer 'Charlie' was starting to develop. Sarah visited us at home and did a 1-2-1 with Charlie and ourselves. She taught us how to get Charlie's attention and focus and how to apply this to various foundation training commands. She answered all our questions, nothing was too much trouble. We have been applying all of Sarah's advice and have seen a noticeable difference in Charlie's behaviour, which is continuing and improving each week. Sarah is such a lovely, warm, approachable lady and so knowledgeable and passionate about what she does. Her puppy classes are brilliant - she emits such a feeling of calmness. Not sure who enjoys the classes more.... Charlie or me!!! I would thoroughly recommend Sarah for anyone looking to train their puppy to be a happy, socialised, confident and well behaved dog. Thank you Sarah. More...
