“Sarah is, quite simply, one of the best trainers I’ve ever seen. She couples this dazzling ability with counselling skills and finesse, and a genuine love of teaching. For this degree of trainer to have such an ability to empathize with and work with owners is a rare thing. Vancouver is lucky to have Yaletown Dog Training.”
Jean Donaldson, Founder and Director of The Academy for Dog Trainers, Author of The Culture Clash
