Meet Sara:

Growing up in Madison WI, I always wanted a dog… At six years old, my parents finally caved; and we came home with the cutest unassuming border collie mix you could imagine. Fast forward a few months and my parents were in way over their heads. That adorable little puppy we brought home had turned into “The Black Tornado”… a wildly energetic, submissive peeing, leash reactive hellion. Having visitors to the house or taking her on a walk was a nightmare. Not knowing what to do, THEY WERE FRUSTRATED. Dog training helped them to live a more satisfying life with their dog.

Fast forward a few decades and I began working hands on with large groups of dogs at a local doggy daycare. I’ve spent the last 10 years monitoring dog play and expanding my knowledge on dog body language. I'm confident that I can help you better understand dog language and give you the tools you need to lead your dog... Allowing for a more enjoyable life together!

My husband and I live in McFarland, WI with our personal pack. We implement a structured life style for our dogs and utilize tools such as slip-leads, prong collars, e-collars, treats, praise & toys in a real life dog training style. We've fostered for a local rescue for several years now and throughout that time we've taken in dogs that were human aggressive, dog reactive, fearful, anxious, leash reactive and wicked smart. I’ve grown to love taking on the more difficult cases - working with them like they’re my own and successfully placing them into safe, loving homes.

I’ve seen it. I’ve lived it. I’d love to help you with your dog.
