Sarah P. is great! She can help coordinate the Owner-pup relationship and really understands the behaviors of the Canine. Also, her lessons carry-over to future growth when 'left with the pup' after her initial training. I would highly recommend allowing Sarah P. to train/coach the canine civilians. ----Nelson D.

I offer in person (Colorado Springs, Colorado area) and virtual consultation and dog training to help your new puppy or adult dog. My approach is positive reinforcement, relationship based training.

I am now able to offer AKC Evaluations for Canine Good Citizen and advanced CGC titles!

Gentle Start Online Program: This self-paced online program is offered for those considering a new puppy or dog for their home, in order to put all of the essentials in place. After completing this program you will feel well prepared for your new family member!

Initial Consultation:

Do you want training or have a behavior concern for your dog? With every new dog and their human(s), I start with an initial consultation. I will meet you and your dog virtually, at your home location or a nearby park, and spend up to 90 minutes gathering information and assessing your training needs.

Training Packages:

My training packages include a training plan individually customized to meet the needs of your dog. Purchasing a training package helps ensure your dog gets the right help and right number of sessions to ensure a successful outcome!

Gentle Start Training Package: Helping your newly adopted dog or puppy get started on the right paw! I help set your pup up for success! Sessions focus on helping your puppy or new dog be successful both at home and in public! I use a fear-free, gentle approach to help your dog learn to love exploring their world and train basic skills such as learning to spend quiet time in kennel or pen, sit, stay, come when called, and walk nicely on a leash.

Zen Dog Training Package: No more sweat about going to the vet (or groomer)! Your dog will be running to the vet clinic, not away from it! I'll help create ways to make veterinary visits as low stress as possible, and even fun! As a Fear Free Certified Professional, I will craft and implement a training plan to help with husbandry and veterinary procedures.

Caring Paws Training Package: You and your dog learn to be a therapy team and help other people! For those wanting a dog to volunteer or work with them to help other people, I offer a customizable package for therapy dog training, flexible to start from where your dog is now to where they will be when they are ready for certification!
