See What Clients Are Saying About The Heeling Shepherd:

“Can’t say enough about The Heeling Shepherd! The tools & skills my dog & I have learned are priceless. The trainings are customized and realistic for our lifestyle. 10/10 recommend Sarah”

— Sarah T.

“Not only is Sarah very knowledgeable with different training methods and techniques - she is simply an awesome teacher. Dog training is about training the human to train his or her dog and Sarah is very sensitive to the fact that everyone learns differently. She is very perceptive in this manner, but will also ask her clients how they learn best and accommodate them.”

— Trish D.

“Sarah gives clear directions on how to do things and her explanations for why it works and how it’s viewed by a dog helps it make even more sense. I could see progress during each training and didn’t feel lost on how to keep that going in between from the homework she gave and the support she offered.

Sarah is skilled in behavioral techniques and her education in veterinary medicine makes her an even more valuable resource. I would highly recommend her and plan on scheduling future trainings!”

— Danielle S.
