WHEN GIVING UP ISN'T AN OPTION, REAL TRAINING BEGINS.
We Don’t Chase Perfection.
We Build Possibility.
Every dog has a story — and sometimes, they just need someone to believe in the next chapter. I’m here to help you write it. Through patient leadership, real-world experience, and trust, we build the kind of change that lasts a lifetime.
​
Welcome! I’m Sarah the dog trainer. I help people build better lives with their dogs and overcome severe challenges through clear communication, loving leadership, fun outlets, and real-world experience. Whether you’re wanting to build fundamental skills for more freedom, or you’re feeling frustrated and ready to give up — there’s a path forward.
Change is possible. Believe in better.
​
I bring experience working with a wide range of dogs — from energetic puppies to serious behavioral cases. My approach is balanced, compassionate, fun, and reward-based, blending positive reinforcement with fair structure to help dogs succeed in the real world. I employ a variety of methods, every owner and dog learns differently.
​
At the heart of my training philosophy is something simple but powerful: Freedom is trust, and trust is earned. My goal is to teach your dog how to succeed — through clear communication, consistency, and rewarding the right choices at the right time.
​
Every dog has a destination.
Let’s build the journey together.

"Sarah is an outstanding trainer, I think she speaks canine! She worked with 2 pitbull mixes of mine, one that I was fostering. He’s a really big guy and I wanted him to be ready for his new home. Not only does Sarah do a great job with training a clients dog, but she also trains us as her client so we leave with a good knowledge of how to follow through. She is very detailed with explanations as to the logic behind her techniques. I highly recommend Sarah of Destination Doggo."

"Sarah is the best dog trainer I’ve ever used. She took on my unruly Great Dane/boxer mix & did a fabulous job! I have a well behaved doggo & plan to send my others to her. 5 stars!"

"Sarah is the absolute best. Our 8 month old Bernedoodle was jumping, nipping, counter-surfing, etc., before he went to her. He came back happy and so WELL BEHAVED! She is the dog whisperer and we couldn’t be happier with our boy now. Thank you, Sarah. All the stars!!"
