All my training is based on positive training methods building a strong connection between you and your dog.
Sarah’s Canine Connections is my new venture using everything I have learnt over the last 9 years of working with dogs and studying. All my training is based on fun, positive training methods building a strong connection between you and your dog.
I will be offering one to one consultations, puppy visits and individual dog walks incorporating training. I am also lucky to know many highly skilled local dog trainers, dog walkers, dog boarders and groomers to which I can work with and/or refer to. Please get in touch to discuss individual requirements.
