What Our Clients Have to Say About Us
“Dog Coach gave us the help that we desperately needed with our two dogs (one year old & 5 year old). I can not begin to describe how our life transformed in a better way in just a matter of 6 weeks. My wife & I now can peacefully and confidently take our dogs on walks on or off the leash. Hands down the best dog training.”
– KR
“Sarah was amazing and so patient with us and our dog Willow. She gave us so many tools to help us work our dog through her anxiety and Willow has really transformed over the last 6 weeks of training. Willow is a dog with a lot of anxiety and stress and Sarah helped us work her through these moments and gave us tools to continue moving forward. I would highly recommend Sarah to anyone thinking about starting dog training.”

Training Tip: Expect Your Dog to Come When Called No Matter What
Recall is fundamental to building a respectful relationship with your dog. Coming when called ensures their safety, allows you to trust your dog and have more fun. Starting with a 20-foot recall leash we help owners begin to communicate with their dog at a short distance with distractions that matter. Consistent practice is essential for consistent results. Until you can reliably call your dog back 50 times without fail, he’s not ready to be trusted to come back to you. Practice makes perfect!
