Even in elementary school, Sarah was teaching the family dogs to do “tricks”. 

Her first dog as an adult was a breed that's often described as "challenging, independent & stubborn".  Enrolled in local dog training classes, the out-of-date "jerk & tug" training methods were NOT proving successful with puppy Dempsey.  Instead, each class just felt like a battle of wills.

There had to be a better way...

THERE IS DEFINITELY A BETTER WAY!

After seminars, reading, & researching a wide variety of training methods; training became a JOY!  A real partnership was formed with Dempsey.  Training went much faster & soon Dempsey was earning titles, rankings and national placements!  

SARAH WOULD LOVE TO SHARE THE JOY & EASE OF THAT DOG-HUMAN PARTNERSHIP WITH YOU & YOUR HOUND!

CLIENT COMMENTS:

Professional, knowledgeable and caring are a few descriptions of Sarah and her dog training services.  We really feel blessed to have Sarah be a part of our Brady's life.  We suggest and highly recommend Sarah and all the training possibilities available.  If you want to have your dog be a part of your lives and flourish within your household, take advantage of this opportunity.  --Matthew & Stephanie M

When we first crossed paths with Sarah we were at our wits' end with a puppy that was anxious and having accidents in his kennel on a daily basis.  One afternoon was all it took to see immediate and positive change in his behavior!  We continued with more training to keep progress steady.  We have three small children and Sarah even thought of ways to include them in our training sessions.  Miracle worker!  --John & Suzie N.

The Profound Hound made training fun again for me and my dog!  Sarah really listened to the goals that I had for my dog and gave me advice and tips that I hadn't received from other training facilities.  She was patient with my dog and me too!!  Training is not only for the dog but also the owner and I felt Sarah really wanted us both to succeed and was very encouraging in her training.  --Kristie W.
