Lillys happy Mom ,

Must listen if you have a new puppy.

Sarah introduced me to my new puppy. Always had older rescue dogs so an 11 month old puppy was a new experience. Quickly became apparent I had no idea how to deal with a dog this young. I would have lost my mind without Sarah’s wise words. Some of her simplest points were the most important: puppies need naps. Who knew??

I have been fortunate enough to train with Sarah and she is simply amazing!!! After listening to her first podcast I put my new puppy on a schedule and it is working out perfectly!!! So excited for new episodes and to working with her in person over the summer!!!

Love Her Enthusiasm!

Sarah’s deep knowledge, wild enthusiasm and obvious love for the four-leggers is so contagious. Fast paced and full of great info. Recommend!
