"Working with Sarah with Scotch Pines has been an amazing experience! I knew our dog was innately a good dog, but I wanted a better dog! Sarah has given us the tools to transform our rambunctious puppy into a dog that listens the first time and knows boundaries. We are so happy with the results and only wish we would have signed up sooner! Thank you, Scotch Pines!"
We took Sarah's course through the online format and it has been crazy to see the difference in our golden retriever, Betty. We don't have to worry anymore about pulling on the leash during walks or bolting away if we take off her leash. She also loves it because she now has significantly morefreedom because we trust her to listen to us!Sarah definitely knows her stuff and was always willing to give feedback and answer questions. I wondered how dog training online would go but Sarah gave us all the techniques and support that we needed to get Betty where she is now.
I have been happy with the difference in me and my puppy since attending Sarah's Scotch Pines training. I have an older dog and didn't do formal training with him and always regretted the experience and I swore I would not get another dog again. It was only when I happened on a breeder that used badass breeders methodology and seeing the effects of what that first start could produce that my heart began to change on having another dog in the home. We now have a dog from that breeder and began obedience training about 3+ months old. It has been a great experience. Sarah offered some info on puppies that was hugely helpful...I'm a fan and having a new family dog has been a very positive experience!
As we worked with our dogs on the assignments, we took video clips of our training sessions. These we sent to Sarah who reviewed them promptly and gave us feedback and suggestions to help us improve our training technique. Class members could also watch these videos, hear the suggestions made, and learn from them. It was fun to watch and see the improvements the dogs all made.Sarah was wonderful to work with, friendly, up beat, encouraging and always available. By theend of the course, I was amazed at how far our dog had come. Not only does she respond to commands willingly and enthusiastically, but we’ve established an even closer dog-owner bond than we would have imagined.
