Sarah is the dog trainer for The Working Dog. She has been training dogs for over 16 years from 4-H as a youth, to the therapy dogs she owns today. Her entire life has always been centered around dogs. Sarah has worked with dogs from the show ring, and volunteering at the Humane Society, to being an ER Veterinary Assistant and raising working dogs. You are encourage to sit in on one of The Working Dog training classes prior to signing up to see Sarah's ability to communicate with and train all dogs.
We certainly do offer “bully breed” training though we do not work with "bite dogs".
