I’ve known Sarah for many years, she helped us immensely with our rescue dog who had many issues. She was an incredible help. Her extensive knowledge and commitment to positive reinforcement training methods made a real difference and inspired me to pursue a career with dogs! I strongly encourage all dog owners to adopt this positive reinforcement approach, as the benefits and improvements in behaviour are remarkable. I highly recommend her. There are so many bogus trainers and behaviourists out there but Sarah is the real deal!

Sarah came to give an evening talk for our rescue kennels staff and we all found it very helpful and thought provoking. She covered areas around reactivity in dogs, common causes and repercussions as well as ways to help combat it.
All in all a very well spent evening

I have done puppy classes with my two younger dogs with Dogskool . The classes are informative and fun for dogs and owners. The class size is just right to ensure socialisation and group activities and individual attention too. Both my dogs have then gone into other activities with Dogskool like agility and Flyball.

Been working with Sarah at Dogskool to combat Mabel’s lead etiquette. We were struggling due to her reactivity to other dogs and she has zero concentration.
After an in-depth zoom call which we established through Sarah’s questioning that Mabel had gut related issues which we managed to resolve quite quickly by a change of diet and feeding regime. This improved her mood so much.
Then came the 1:1 session, Sarah gave us a strategy to work to with lots of advice on the right lead etc. Two weeks on we’re getting there. Mabel is calmer, listening to us and we’re walking so much better. It’s work in progress but we’ve still got two more 1:1 sessions to go. I highly recommend Sarah & Dogskool.

Would highly recommend Dogskool. Bobby our Cockapoo puppy has learnt so much during his sessions .
Michelle and Courtney are very knowledgeable, and also gave advice via email .
I was very nervous of the puppy biting when we joined and Michelle was very supportive ,helping me to grow in confidence with Bobby . These sessions have been a game changer .

We started our journey at Dogskool with puppy classes and now retouching base with some skills as my dog has reached adulthood. The team at Dogskool have been amazing with listening to me about my dog and making sure our needs were met when attending a course. I was anxious about attending due to some traits my dog had picked up but everyone was fantastic and i can't wait to join more courses in the future. If you have any doubts if a course is right for you and your dog, Sarah and the team are always on hand to help and talk things through with you.

Our pup has recently graduated from puppy classes with DOGSKOOL. When we started he was very shy and nervous around other dogs, his confidence has grown week-by-week and has learned a few life long tips and tricks.

Staff were very knowledgeable, supportive and friendly. I would 100% recommend DOGSKOOL.

We will be back soon for flyball.

Thank you.

Sarah has been brilliant. From the first meeting I felt she understood exactly what the issues were. She made us feel completely comfortable and never made any negative comments or criticised what we had been doing. (This was in sharp contrast to another behaviourist we had contacted, who had an opinion on everything but refused to meet the dog!) We now feel much more confident in dealing with the issues and we know Sarah is there if we need her. Her charges are very reasonable and well worth it. Her advice has been invaluable.
