Not pleased from the initial happenstance meeting with Poppy, at Jefferson Park. She lacked basics in etiquette, and just generally treating another human well, and she seemed very standoffish, and when it comes to me, and my puppy, she is condescending, and patronizing. She seemed really taken with my dog's abilities, at such a young age, and almost had an air of jealousy towards her. I would never work with such a know-it-all and if I see her at the park, again, I will pick my puppy up and leave. She tried to pick up my puppy, without asking, and my puppy wiggled out of her arms...well, Poppy, I can pick her up just fine. Please don't come near me, or MY dog. Thanks! read more

Cascade Canine Training - My Harper girl! - Pet Training Near Me

10/5 stars for Sarah! I have never wanted to give more stars than I have for Cascade Canine. Prepare yourself for some hyperbolic but entirely accurate praise...her service has changed our life! We always loved our little Mini Schnauzer but she was a difficult pooch. We are to blame of course but we couldn't fix the behaviors. She was aggressive toward dogs and strangers and had zero ideas how to listen to commands. We loved her but few others did. :( Sarah met us and got know us and our dog and within the hour she had complete understanding of what caused our bad behaviors. She helped us to understand how a dog thinks and how it impacts their behavior in situations. We then handed over our sweet dog for two weeks to Sarah (she needed extra extra) and when we got her back it was a literal and figurative and actual miracle. She was this obedient, calm, and in control dog. We met her at a park and she was around humans and dogs and didn't lose her shit even once. She came, sat, stayed on command. And better yet Sarah showed us how to do magic too. We have had our dog back for a few weeks since the spa treatment and she is getting better and better each day. No backsliding at all. Next step is to start taking her to the office with me. It was worth every nickel. It has completely impacted our lives in a positive way. So thank you Sarah. You ROCK! If you have come to this page it is because you are like we were with a dog you love that needs help (you are the one who needs the help btw). You are stressed out and have zero clues how to fix it. We would like to welcome you to present day us with a dog that is an absolute joy who is always in control and a happy obedient companion. Imagine that for a minute. Yep it's real for us now thanks to Sarah. I don't care that this review is TLDR. I can't give 10 stars so I gave words. read more

Sarah was absolutely amazing, I cannot recommend her highly enough. My dog Roux (1 year old rescue) was getting increasingly aggressive and out of control. I had tried two other trainers before finding Sarah and both of them were unable to help Roux. Sarah was extremely communicative the whole time with constantly picture and video updates. After training Roux has been a perfect angel. People on the street compliment me on how well trained he is, its a complete change and I could not be happier. Taking Roux outside used to be chore, now I look forward to it as he's so well behaved on and off leash. Finally, I have to mention that even after training and lessons were completed Sarah has kept checking in periodically via text message to make sure Roux was still doing well and giving me pointers about how to maintain his skills and correct any little issues that may arise. If you ended up here because you need a trainer call Sarah, you wont regret it. read more

Is this a local business? It has a California #. I've called it. No answer. Left a message. No response. Is this an up and running business?? read more

Sarah is the absolute best! Five stars is not enough to tell you how awesome she is! We have a three year old Husky who has a mind of her own. Sarah was able to get her so that we can take her off leash as well as all of the other obedience commands one wants their dog to listen to. Yes, our HUSKY was trained to walk off leash! Sarah is the best and if you are thinking about taking your dog to her, do it. You will not regret it! read more

Cannot thank Sarah enough for working with our chihuahua/terrier mix, Pudding. We got her when she was 4 months old from a rescue and she was terrified of everything and had horrible seperation anxiety. She would run away every chance she got and would bark constantly when left alone. We did months of training with Petsmart but was only able to get her to follow simple commands at home and she would ignore them in public. She spent 2 weeks with Sarah and came back a new, confident dog! She is able to walk off leash and will come back when called no matter the distraction. Pudding can now stay home alone for a couple of hours and be trusted to not be on such a short leash. Worth every penny! read more

The only complaint I have is that Sarah left us down here in Southern California. I don't have enough glowing words for her compassionate, confident and effective training. We have a large breed female pup who was developing some bad behaviour. Sarah was able to work with us and our pup and Gemma has now integrated with her "pack" here at home beautifully. We shall miss Sarah and her beautiful friendly smile. read more

I am a client of Sarah's from California. Originally I found Sarah on yelp when she was the owner of OC Dog Ranch. She had all these amazing reviews so I took a chance on her to help my six month old lab puppy that was very well socialized and sweet but otherwise totally naughty! When reading all her reviews you may think man she sounds too good to be true these people must of had a really good dog to begin with. But let me tell you my dog was the worst of the worst in terms of jumping, grabbing stuff off the table, running around not listening pulling on the leash etc. After two weeks with Sarah and her crew, she came back an entirely new dog! She's super mellow in the house, she knows a bunch of commands, she can heal and walk off leash it is absolutely amazing. My only regret is that I didn't take her to Sarah when she started getting really naughty and ripping my clothes and eating my prescription sunglasses. Also as an aside our dog came back completely potty trained and we didn't even ask Sarah to address that, but she came back knowing when to go outside which wasn't the case before. We took her to Sarah a year and a half ago and our dog is still going strong and very well behaved. I'm here to tell you if you have any hesitation about sending your dog to Sarah or about the cost let me tell you it is absolutely worth every single penny. You will have a totally different relationship with your dog. You will be happy and your dog will be happy. We can take our dog everywhere with us now which she loves. I can't recommend Sarah enough. If I could give her 10 stars I would. We also used Sarah for boarding from time to time and she was amazing. I was so sad to hear she was moving to Washington State. You guys up north have no idea how lucky you are to have an amazing dog trainer like Sarah in your area! She truly is a professional and loves what she does and the dogs really respond in kind. read more
