Bringing home a new puppy can be both exciting and overwhelming

You’ve brought an adorable bundle of fur into your home and it is awesome but a lot! When I brought my puppy home I had a list of things I would do while she slept, but she just didn’t stop! Shark teeth and her endless energy left me exhausted.

“We are pleased with the results! Sarah was great to work with.”

"We adopted our Milo in July and started to see some anxiety surfacing so we engaged Sarah and found all the games and strategies for crate training to work well for him and us! Sarah taught us the importance of rest for puppies and to build self confidence. We are pleased with the results! Sarah was great to work with."
