Sarah is extremely knowledgeable and caring about her profession. She was exactly the right person to help me shape my puppy into the kind of dog I want. I will definitely have her back to continue training my other dog as well.

Lynn & Henry

We just finished 5 out of 6 sessions with Sarah and we couldn’t be happier! Our Fozzy has learned so many things and Sarah has made it so easy to continue training into the future. We HIGHLY recommend Cued Canines!

Kelly, Steve & Fozzy

Sarah is incredibly knowledgeable and awesome to work with. She has so many great tips and advice on how to handle your pup in different situations and will arrange to meet you in areas to help change up the environment and potentially expose your pup to different circumstances to help you and your pup learn how to cope/handle that environment.

Andrew & Tiny Tim

I have worked with a number of trainers, but none who truly worked to understand Ada and what might be causing some of the behaviours she was exhibiting. Sarah's understanding of animal behaviour and her ability to observe and assess what is happening with a dog are impressive. I also appreciated being able to speak candidly with her about some of my frustrations and fears and was grateful for her patience when I suffered some personal setbacks. I would recommend Sarah to anyone, not only looking for their dog to have a positive training experience, but for themselves, as well.

Melanie & Ada

Sarah was a pleasure to work with. She is knowledgeable, kind, caring, and so passionate about what she does. Sarah helped us quickly determine the root cause of some fears our pup is having. She gave us practical steps and strategies to help our pup out and so many resources to assist us in our own education in order to best support our pup and set him up for success in life. The moment I spoke to Sarah, I knew her positive training approach would be a great fit for what I was looking for. I highly recommend working with Sarah, you will not regret it!

Brooke & Dune

Your commitment to positive reinforcement was what initially drew me to your services, and it provided so much peace of mind along the way. Throughout the training process, you were incredibly patient, flexible, adaptable, and kind. You took the time to pass on your knowledge and to answer all questions thoroughly. It's obvious that you really value everyone's comfort level, and you provided so many resources and ideas for us to continue working on. Your help has been so appreciated!

Vanessa & Damien

Sarah takes the time to really get to know your pup and their issues. Although we are just starting out our work with him, Sarah has already been super helpful with providing us reassurance that we didn't break our puppy and providing some great suggestions and resources to help us.

Julie & Watson

We were so impressed by Sarah's heartfelt love for animals. She was very empathetic about how their humans felt as well. We felt ourselves relaxing and more understanding of how Gracie looked at the world. It took insight and compassion, and Sarah has it in spades. It was a joy to watch Gracie learn and have fun with her. Gracie and I looked forward to each session, and I know that if ever I have questions, I can count on Sarah to help.

Brenda, Lyall & Gracie

My husband and I were very pleased with the training Sarah used to help us with our dog. She was extremely patient and gave us different ideas to help with our training. It has only been a week, and we are pleased with the progress we are making. We would definitely recommend Sarah for her knowledge and gentleness she had for our pet.

Kim & Darla

Sarah was knowledgeable, enthusiastic and lovely to work with. My puppy loved her! Her positive training techniques worked well and she was open to tailoring the training to my needs. Highly recommend.

Janette & Emmy

We did the puppy program with our new puppy, Harley, and really enjoyed working with Sarah.

Victoria & Harley

Minwaa and I both looked forward to Sarah's visits. Her calm, positive self and her vast knowledge about dogs and their behaviour taught me so much. Minwaa and I are both more confident and relaxed after working with Sarah. Thank you so much.

Joanne & Minwaa

We have learned so much about dog behaviour and really appreciate your caring attitude both to us and Bandit. Very much appreciated that you came to our home for private sessions. A 10 out of 10. Thanks so much

Charlotte, Michael & Bandit

Sarah has been great working through our dog's reactivity. We noticed a difference in him after the first session in our home. She challenged him, and it was like he suddenly had the tools to understand what behaviours were appropriate. Thank you again for helping Jimmy and our family!

Lesley & Jimmy

We found Sarah just in time last year when we were struggling with some tough behaviours from Rusty, like jumping up on *everyone* and poor recall. She taught us some great techniques which we continue to practice today! We're so thankful for her patient approach with this big guy.

Jackie & Rusty

Sarah did a wonderful job helping my reactive dog, Harley. She tailored each lesson to suit what challenges we were currently trying to overcome. Harley has improved immensely since starting her lessons.

Brandon & Harley

Sarah was so positive and patient. Always ready to listen and come up with solutions to Hopper's unwanted behaviour. She truly loves dogs.

Ashleigh & Hopper

Thank you so much, Sarah. We weren't sure what to expect as we hadn't done formal training before. You exceeded our expectations, and we are so proud of what Blueberry has accomplished and are so excited to continue on. We will definitely be back if we ever need anything else!

Susanne, Trevor & Blueberry

I really valued the personalized approach to training that Sarah provided. It was tailored to our specific needs and desired outcomes. I enjoyed learning more about how canines process information, how I can better communicate with them, and I appreciated the clear training aids that Sarah provided after each session. Sarah was always happy to answer any questions I had in between our sessions as well.

Jackie & Sulley

I would highly recommend working with Sarah. She helped us work on training techniques that were specific to our breed/energy level. She has lots of great tricks and tips to help your dog learn quickly and easily. One-on-one training was personable, comfortable, never rushed, and she would answer any and all questions we had. Sarah is more than just a dog trainer, she is a teacher and mentor. Thank you, Sarah, for everything you know!

Julie & Oakley

Sarah is incredibly educated and knowledgeable, yet approachable in her training methods. My two dogs (including my very fearful pup) warmed up to her very quickly and she is like magic around them for training. Of course, the challenge is continuing the magic after she leaves, but Sarah provides tons of resources and information, in addition to being very easily reached for questions. Thanks Sarah!

Angela, Jake & Kuzco

My dog was identified as a flight risk. My biggest fear is that he would run for various reasons and not return. Floki has responded so well to his recall training. He has surprised all of us with his enthusiastic attitude and success. It has helped us feel far less anxious about possible flight. Seeing progress was so rewarding for all of us. I lacked the tools to guide him before training and now we have solid direction to handle all kinds of situations. My favourite part of this program is the amount I learn every session. I love to learn the science behind their actions and how I can successfully take part in that. I also enjoy seeing how much my dog loves Sarah and trusts her. His life wasn't easy before us, but his trust in her speaks volumes.

Katrina & Floki

Sarah is a very talented and knowledgeable trainer. When she arrived at our home, we were dealing with a rescue and a rehomed Frenchie that didn’t get along. They bit one another severely and came to us with underlying traumas. With Sarah’s expert training, we now have two lovely Frenchies who are each other's best friends. We were able to address so many of the bad behaviours, and Sarah has coached us to be able to continue on our own. We will have Sarah back in six months to assess our progress. We would recommend her in a heartbeat.

Erin & Finnegan and Alita

Best training experience, with our 8-16 week old Bernedoodle. We did group training sessions with our older dog, but the 1-on-1 that Sarah offers is hands down superior. Training is focused on what skills are important to you and best fit your lifestyle. Sarah is so knowledgeable and easy to talk to. She is a dog whisperer, got my puppy to do things right away. I’ve never seen my pup so excited to see anyone, he threw himself at her every Wednesday morning for training sessions. We are forever grateful!

Amanda & Doug

I would recommend Cued Canines to anyone. The one-on-one training in my home was invaluable. I got a much better understanding of Sophie and cues. The training not only made me relax, but Sophie as well. I gained valuable insight into dog behaviour, not needing to be perfect, and realizing dog socialization behaviour. Using positive reinforcement and understanding more about dog behaviour has made a huge difference with Sophie’s quality of life and my own. My household is more relaxed. Sophie has only been with me 2 months after years of being in a puppy mill and shelters. This training completely made a difference with my confidence and Sophie’s.
