MEET SARAH
Positive Training Enthusiast
Unlike most, I don’t focus on the symptoms and instead, help you to better understand why the barking, digging, jumping or lunging is happening in the first place. For me, it goes deeper than just training sit, down, or stay with your dog. Training you and your dog is about allowing choices to be made, providing clear expectations, and creating a lasting connection.
As a result, you will inevitably move forward on a path that will ensure you are bringing out the very best in your dog (or any pet!) - all through the use of positive training methods, backed by science.
“We have gone from feeling overwhelmed, to calm and relaxed and enjoying our puppy because we now have good tools to meet all the challenges of raising a happy and healthy puppy.”

Making a Difference in the Lives of Shelter Dogs
Happy Clients (and dogs)
Sarah was so wonderful and sensitive to my dog's triggers and fears. She turned my dog who was feral in Mexico for years into a confident house pet in no time! Sarah does a wonderful job at explaining exactly how to communicate with your dog efficiently and exactly what we are teaching our dogs to do in a controlled environment will translate into scenarios at home and on walks. With my personal dog, who had never worn a collar or walked on grass before at the age of 4 yrs old, Sarah had her sitting in a matter of minutes. After a few short weeks, I had a wonderful dog that would pay attention to me and she is always checking in with me to see what I want her to do.

Sarah has been a wealth of knowledge with our two 9 week old mini Goldendoodle’s! She came to our home and did an initial consult and helped us get on track with potty and crate training! She also hooked us up with the ultimate Puppy Checklist to ensure we were ready when they got here. Get pawsitive has been a life saver when it comes to training our puppies both in home and in class. After our puppy class we feel confident in our abilities to continue training our puppies as they grow.
