Sarah’s Passion
At the start of my career, I was lucky enough to be mentored by, and then work alongside, John Fisher – the original ‘dog whisperer’.
As a result of John’s experience, knowledge and support, I succeeded in building a career that had my heart and soul at its very centre. Nearly 30 years on, and I am still just as passionate about helping dogs, cats and their owners, using kind, force-free methods, and getting great results using the science and art of positive reinforcement.
Now though, I believe I have another role too – helping others to fulfill their potential as trainers and behaviourists, through education, coaching, mentoring and occasional hand-holding, (because sometimes the very best trainers seem to lack confidence in themselves).
The reality is that to be a brilliant behaviourist, you need to be an exceptional dog trainer. And to be a superlative trainer, you need to understand behviour inside and out.
I’m here to help and guide you with both.
So, whether you are here for a sniff of inspiration, want to join me on a practical hands-on clicker training course, or would like to dive into a full ‘roll-over’ with an accredited educational programme, we can help.
Oh, and for those that are already out there doing it – there’s my online CPD Programme, the ‘Inner Circle’.
I hope to see you soon.
