My Approach

Start building a new relationship with your dog and finally get the behavior that you want.

At Mr. Dog Training I will help you create a strong bond and connection with your dog while building both you and your dog’s skills, knowledge and elevate your confidence every step of the way.

I believe training should be fun, for both you and your dog, and that training with your dog should help create a strong, lasting relationship built on respect, joy and trust. Empathy towards ourself and our dog allows us to create a more positive and engaging experience for dogs, improving their motivation and willingness to learn.

I take pride in providing a safe, fun, and compassionate environment to learn in while focusing on skills, games, enrichment, and communication.

Are you ready to be a rebel and focus on your dog’s emotional state?

I can’t wait to help you!

Invest in your relationship with your dog with relationship based, holistic dog training

"Sara has an amazing ability to explain the dog's point of view so that you can have the best possible relationship with your dog and other dogs too. This is my first puppy and having Sara's guidance has enabled me to enjoy my dog and focus on what is really important and not worry about some of the normal growing pains and setbacks that come with all close relationships. Sara also has a keen sense of humor and makes all her classes fun and relaxing as well as informative. I am a tough grader but Sara earns an A+"

We love Mr. Dog Training! Sara is a compassionate, encouraging, and knowledgeable instructor. Along with teaching practical real-world skills, she teaches how to understand and communicate with your dog. Sara meets each dog where they are on their training journey to make it a positive experience for everyone. My dog Maisie and I have taken multiple virtual and in-person classes, and I’ve noticed such a transformation in Maisie’s focus and confidence. We both have so much fun training together. Thank you, Sara!

-Meredith and Maisie

This was the best experience for me and my dog! Sara is amazing. She is patient, funny and kind, and she understands dog behaviors and training like no one else I’ve worked with before. We signed up for a second class with Sara just hours after we graduated from her first class. I would highly recommend taking a class from Sara/Mr. Dog Training!!

What makes my training different from the rest?

My focus when working with clients is prioritizing an understanding of how our dogs, and ourselves, learn, what drives behavior, building clear and consistent communication, an understanding of canine body language so that we can “listen” to our dogs, and prioritizing, above all else, the relationship that we have with our dogs.
