What We Do
We train problem behaviour away. No matter what the issue, we can help. We are committed to using force-free methods, your dog’s well-being is important to us. We will train your dog to do what you want by teaching him to want to do it. We’ll even make things that your dog dislikes, like nail-trims easy and stress-free for both you and your dog.
We will give you a better-behaved dog – and everyday tools you can use to keep improving behaviour for many happy years to come.
Services
In-Home Training or Zoom
Does your dog have housetraining mishaps, does he go crazy whenever a skateboarder goes by or does he growl at strangers? We can help. We are well equipped to deal with any issue in a safe and humane manner and we do this in the comfort of your own home.
Puppy Classes
Puppy classes are an ideal way to socialize your puppy to other dogs and people in a safe and controlled environment. Our classes teach you how to raise a confident, happy dog with a focus on fear prevention. They will be fun for both you and your dog.
Basic Manners Class
This class is for adult dogs who need to brush up on their manners. We will focus on working around distractions.
Tiny Timid Classes
This class is for tiny dogs who are ok around other small dogs but are fearful of things in their world. It will include off leash time with other tiny dogs.
The focus will be on showing guardians how to help their dogs to become more confident in the world.
Testimonials
“Sarah Pennington is a Godsend!” - I run West Coast Cocker Rescue, and Sarah fostered many of our dogs. But she also helped rehabilitate many other dogs with serious behavioral issues who probably wouldn’t have been adopted without her help.
Bonnie West Coast Cocker Rescue
My husband and I have our freedom back again. Cody suffered from separation anxiety, we could not to leave her without her barking, whining and panting. With Sarah we saw progress. It’s taken time but now we’re able to leave her for 4 hours, she just relaxes and sleeps while we are gone.
Diane and Dan
Pippin was not very trusting of us initially, we needed someone to guide us, on how to do things right, without harm and with lots of love and fun. We could not think of a better person than Sarah. She has become not just a trainer, but also a true friend.
