“If you are searching for a truly exceptional dog trainer, your search ends here. Sarah exceeded every expectation we had. After working with two previous trainers who told us our dog was essentially a lost cause, Sarah saw something different — she believed in him. That belief became the foundation for everything that followed.
Sarah created a thoughtful, individualized training plan that addressed not only our dog’s specific needs, but also our hopes and goals for his life. Her work extended far beyond basic obedience. She made it possible for our dog to safely enjoy the places and experiences he loves most and helped us gain back comfort in our home.
Sarah is kind, patient, flexible, and incredibly responsive. Her knowledge and dedication are evident in every interaction. Because of her commitment, our dog now has the freedom to live a happy, confident, and fulfilling life. Her time, effort, and expertise are worth every penny.
We are endlessly grateful for Sarah and cannot recommend her highly enough.”
~ Jess, Sean, and Bentli ~
“Working with Sarah has been a transformational experience for us and our dogs beyond what we could’ve hoped for. She has such a gentle, confident presence and after just a few minutes talking with her and seeing her work with our dogs, we knew she was going to be their forever trainer.
Sarah’s innate patience and obvious love for what she does makes it such an enjoyable experience that our only regret is we didn’t find her sooner.
Our dogs are 6 and 10, so don’t be worried like we were that it’s just too late or too hard to start training. The differences we could see after even one session made us certain we had made the right decision, and it’s only gotten exponentially better since.”

Training Services
Each training program is thoughtfully designed with one core goal in mind: to support lasting success for both your dog and you.
We tailor the pace of training to meet the unique needs of both the dog and the handler, helping to ensure steady progress and positive experiences.
Training doesn’t stop when the session ends—and neither does my support.
I’m committed to being available to my clients in real time whenever possible, offering timely advice and solutions for those unpredictable moments that arise during the week.
Whether it's a sudden behavior shift or a quick question about your dog’s progress, you’ll have a trainer who’s truly invested in your success.
-
A typical consultation takes place in your home, where I assess your dog’s obedience, temperament, and overall behavior in their natural environment.
I also observe the dynamic between you and your dog to better understand communication patterns, routines, and potential stress points.
We will discuss your dog’s history, your goals and any concerns you may have.
After the consultation, a training plan will be created that aligns with your dog’s needs and your household’s rhythm.
-
A solid foundation at home builds the structure and confidence your dog needs to succeed in the outside world.
Addressing problem behaviors where they start—inside the home—is essential before expecting consistent behavior in more distracting environments like parks, sidewalks, or public spaces.

Dogs are picked up and spend five hours with Sarah working on specific training goals.
At the end of the day, Sarah will go over everything your dog worked on and explain the progress made.
We will also talk about what you can continue practicing at home to help your dog keep making progress.
At Peaceful K9 Training, we believe that every dog—no matter their background, behavior, or breed—deserves the chance to thrive in a loving, well-balanced home.
Founded on compassion, clarity, and connection, Peaceful K9 Training is more than just a dog training service. It’s a personalized partnership between trainer, dog, and owner, designed to build lasting confidence, trust, and peace of mind.
