PERSONALIZED DOG TRAINING with Sara Jarrett
You and your dog deserve the best life together!
Get a clear, compassionate, customized plan for everything from building basic puppy skills (including house-training!) to learning new tricks (even for old dogs!). Sara will help you overcome your dog’s separation anxiety, navigate and reduce your dog’s fears and aggressions, manage a multi-pet household, and even prepare to introduce a baby or newcomer into your home.
Sara’s positive, humane and holistic behavior modification strategies are based on your specific goals, factoring in the dog’s history, home life, exercise and enrichment needs. Through tailored lessons, she’ll equip you with the tools you and your pup need to have harmony and happiness in your home.
Group Training:
Basic/Intermediate
Learn (and perfect) fundamental cues (“sit,” “no,” “OK,” “down,” “come,” “heel,” and more) in a group setting. Build skills, gain confidence, socialize and learn enrichment exercises for a fun, rewarding experience for dog and handler alike! This class is appropriate for dogs 6 months and older. A basic understanding of “sit,” “stay” and “come” is helpful but not necessary.

Sara’s work is rooted in more than 15 years of hands-on experience working with hundreds of dogs in NYC, the Hudson Valley, and across the country via virtual lessons. She is credentialed through the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers (CPDT-KA), which provides independent validation of professional knowledge and skills in an unregulated industry. She also underwent a three year intensive apprenticeship with Who’s Walking Who Dog Obedience and Behavior Training in Manhattan. Sara maintains her accreditation with ongoing coursework in the latest dog behavior research, most recently with Micheal Shikashio’s The Aggression in Dogs course and the Karen Pryor Academy ClickerExpo. She is also a member of the Association For Professional Dog Training International and is insured and bonded.
Sara became fascinated with dog training and behavior modification in 2008, after rescuing Sadie, a pit bull/rottweiller mix. Sadie had severe fear aggression toward strangers. Learning how to meet Sadie’s needs and give her the tools she needed to safely exist in an urban environment were deeply rewarding for Sara, and inspired her to leave a career as a magazine editor and dedicate herself full time to helping other dogs and their humans. Sara and her family spent several years with dual residences between New York City and upstate New York, making her ideally suited to help those who travel between city and country.
About Sara Jarrett, CPDT-KA
Susan, Accord NY
“My latest rescue, Frankie, is the best companion to me, but she reallly doesn’t like new people. Sara has helped me understand that when Frankie seems irritated, she’s really just scared. Sara has set us up for success with positive reinforcement and lots of enrichment. Frankie now has lots of friends, and we are all so happy!”

"We've been working with Sara for almost 15 years. From house-training, to walking on a leash, to reliably coming when called, Sara set us up for a really rewarding life with our first puppy. When we got our latest pup, Duncan, Sara was our first call. I had forgotten how crazy life could be with a brand-new pup, but Sara's clear coaching has gotten our whole family back on track."
