I recently finished an intermediate class with Sarah and what I enjoyed most was the fun and inventive ways to bring out the best in my dog. I definitely recommend Sarah's class for the active owner who wants to connect with their dog.   Denise and Bart

Being a first time dog owner of two Golden Retrievers, I knew I wanted professional training. I called around and started asking friends about their experiences. The mother of one of my daughter's friends recommended Sarah at DogTime. From the first time I met Sarah, I knew I had made the right decision. She was very easy to talk to, relates well with the owner and understands the dog. My dogs continue to learn and so do I. I can’t say enough about Sarah; this is what she was meant to do.

When my husband & I brought Zarah home this past January we were, to say the least, overwhelmed.  After losing 2 dogs, 3 years ago it was a huge decision to get another dog, and a puppy at that.  The unexpected hyperness and high energy that Zarah exuded left me exhausted & frustrated, to the point of doubting my decision to get another dog, which of course, added loads of guilt as well.   In talking with Sarah she eased my anxiety & guilt by being calm & reassuring.  She made it exciting & positive that Zarah was such a keener.  Any training questions I had (which were many) she answered with confidence, and always went out of her way to make sure ‘I got it'. Zarah, although still full of puppy power, is 100% part of the family (good thing we have a king size bed).  Her personality and overzealousness for life shines.  She brings a smile to my face everyday when I ask a command and she follows through. Sarah has taught US the importance of daily exercise, the repetition in the training and the benefit of socializing with humans and hounds.   Thank you Sarah! Pamela, Jeff and Zarah-zoo

Sarah Rose has an unbelievable passion for training both dogs and their owners. I have never met a person with more drive or committment and I feel blessed to have met and trained with her. I was so relieved to find a trainer who was able to do one-on-one lessons and who was able to work around my hectic schedule. I did a number of private lessons with her and am sad to say that they are over! But I am excited to move on with the new knowledge she has given me. I saw improvements with our dog within the first few lessons and was amazed at how easy the lessons were to take home and practice on our own. I recommend Sarah Rose as a trainer to anyone who owns a dog. Thank you so much Sarah for your time and caring, I truly appreciate everything you've done for trix and I! Chelsey Neu

I participated in the puppy class with Sarah this summer with my 7 month old Springer Spaniel. I loved her calm, yet assertive and common sense method to training our dogs. I felt that I learned as much, if not more than my puppy did! We have made great progress using Sarah's techniques and my puppy is becoming a better behaved dog every day.  I highly recommend Sarah if you are looking for a fabulous trainer. Marie Mudry

Sarah Rose is an exceptional person. Her connection to, and love for dogs, and children, attracted my attention from the first time I met her. I have watched as she put her heart and soul into teaching everyone how to enjoy and understand their beloved animals. Her techniques and her intuition work hand in hand with her intelligence and dedication. She has helped me on many occasions with my mature dogs as well as my two new pups. Her common sense and kind techniques are exactly what I needed after having experienced "old school" aggressive methods. Her training has helped me and my dogs have a happier home. Thank you Sarah.

While working with Sarah, I have developed better skills and knowledge for handling my dog. This has greatly increased my enjoyment of my dog. Sarah's passion and in-depth knowledge of dogs and dog training make her an excellent teacher and coach. I highly recommend Sarah for anyone wanting to learn to work with their dog or wanting their dog to learn new behaviors.   Susinn Shaler

I started with two private sessions with Sarah before the group lessons and found them very informative, knowledgeable and the instructions were easy to understand. Sarah was the right person to handle my standard poodle, Winston. The group lesson were small so it gave us more hands on instructions. Sarah took the time to go over things if a dog didn't grasp it right away. Learning all about dog behaviour was great and the insight about what your dog is feeling and doing was a real eye opener. I would certainly recommend Sarah.    Dave Conover

Sarah Rose is a superb trainer, showing depth of knowledge, kindness and patience. We adopted a nervous, anxious and confused border collie cross and while working under Sarah’s direction, we saw improvements in our dog in the first week. Sarah helped us identify problem behaviours, understand their cause, and work with the dog in a fun, positive way to control or change these behaviours. Sarah introduced our dog to her own golden retreivers and other dogs in her training program which helped greatly to socialize her. We are pleased to say our dog is now a happy, well-balanced and well-behaved member of the family. We are pleased to recommend Sarah Rose.   Milt & Shirley Stanley (& Kia)
