AKC Obedience and French Ring...Her entry into dogsports
IMG_5337.JPG

While pets were the first dogs she trained, not working dogs, dogsports were a crucial part of testing methods and driving improvement. Her first titles were a CD and Rally excellent with a 7 year old client's reactive boxer, Budee. He taught her the absolute POWER of counter conditioning and motivation when proofing a reactive dog. The methods she used for the AKC stand for exam with this dog are still the same ones she uses for check in, nail clipping and chip check.

OC Dog Ranch

In 2016, Sarah took a break from competing and started OC Dog Ranch, a place intended to be a Disneyland for dogs, as well as a premier training camp. Here, they'd become incredible companions for their owners, living with many more privileges as a result. 

 

The ranch quickly became the most in demand board and train in California's affluent suburb, Orange County. Combining an intense love of dogs with the ability to off leash train them very quickly, the Ranch provided mostly 2 week Board and Trains, able to produce both a reliable AND pressure free dog in a  very short amount of time. This was due to more modern techniques used than other balanced trainers, a happy environment where the dog's needs were put first, and an obsession with client satisfaction.

Schutzhund / IGP

Despite only entering the sport of Schutzhund in 2018, Sarah has quickly made results on both the national and international stage. After winning the Canadian Nationals with her dog who started out in French Ring, she set to work on her first actual IGP competition dog, Ricky, making the world team 4 times, winning the national championship, Vice national championship, best protection at FCI 2023,  and 8th place world wide and many more impressive results.
