Rustic Canine Training

Sarah at Rustic Canine Training is pure magic, and even better, she shares her secrets and magic in a way that makes it achievable and easy to carry on even after your training sessions are complete! Penny, My 6 year old stubborn and too-smart-for-her-own-good shepherd mix, had picked up some (not great) new habits through the pandemic and moving to a new house that included territorial aggression, anxiety, and chaos off leash. Sarah broke down each new skill in easy steps and adapted anything as we went to match her quirks and personality. Not only is Penny so much more comfortable with strangers being at the house or approaching her in public, able to go on walks off leash freely and safely, but I now have a system to relieve her stress in these situations that is positive!

Sara at Rustic Canine training is the best! I chose the 4 week course for my pup and I. It was a very positive experience. Sara is a great instructor. Not only has my pup learned how to follow commands and be well mannered but I was given information regardng dog behaviors and needs that will allow me to keep my pup on track! Sara is a Dog Whisperer! Daisy and I will miss you!

I reached out to Sarah to get some help training my dog Holly. A month ago I could not take my dog in public without her reacting. Now Holly and I both feel confident enough to go anywhere together! Sarah is very knowledgeable and I highly recommend you use her services.

We reached out to Sarah when we brought our new puppy home. Sarah is so knowledgeable and caring focusing on our puppy’s needs and working with us to be able to understand how to work with our dog and have a very well behaved fur baby. Our dog is now 8 months old and is doing amazing…so much so that when we are out in public we have received numerous complements around our puppy’s manners and while on walks have given referrals to neighbors who have asked who we have been working with because they see how well our dog is doing while on a leash. One detail to add…we have a Cane Corso who is tipping the scales at almost 80 pounds at 8 months old…being able to feel comfortable with her at home and while walking on a leash was very important to us and Sarah made our hopes and dreams of owning

Sarah was great to work with, she provided me with the training and tools I needed to train my dog and be successful! We had field trips and different scenarios and distractions to prepare me for anything. I highly recommend Rustic Canine, Sarah is the real deal!
