“Sarah has so many fresh ideas about animal training! I have trained dogs for 45 years and Sarah gave me quite an education. I'm so looking forward to working with her again.”
~Linda, Dallas TX
Hey there, I'm Sarah! I created the Listen Up, Pup Obedience course when I realized that so many loving, but frustrated, dog owners were struggling with their dog’s poor manners, being embarrassed by their dogs (both at home AND in public), and worrying about paying hundreds or even thousands of dollars for dog training help. These dog owners would try to look for answers on YouTube, in dog magazines or forums, or ask for feedback in community or dog lover’s Facebook groups, but they weren’t really getting the help they needed. I’ve studied these problems for over 20 years and have found solutions! Here’s how training dogs and helping others has impacted my own life:
I began training dogs when I was just 9 years old with our family dog, Daisy. Through 4-H, and then through other recognized dog sports, my love for these animals grew and grew. The bonds that I have shared with my dogs has truly changed me as a person, and it’s a feeling that I want every single dog owner to have.
In my training journey, I had the good fortune to work with renowned trainer Kayce Cover, of Synalia Training Systems, and I have achieved my Level III SATS certifications in both Bridge and Target training, and in Perception Modification training. This technique has given me unique insight into how to communicate with dogs, and how to form strong, lasting bonds with them based on respect and trust.
I am passionate about helping dog owners achieve a healthy and happy bond with their dogs. So many dogs are sent to shelters or worse because of behavior problems that are pretty simple to fix, but many owners don’t have the funds or the know-how to work with their dogs. Keeping dogs with the owners who love them is one of the most important things in the world to me, which is what makes being a dog trainer such important work for me.

Every single dog and owner is different, and your results with this course depend on your consistency with your dog/puppy, and how you respond to setbacks. However, if you stick with the advice in this course and you’re consistent, you should start to see results within a few days, and should see your training problems start to resolve within a week or two!
We all have busy lives, and working with your dog’s behaviors can’t be the focus of everything. That’s why you’re looking for training help, right? For the best results, you should plan to work with your dog for 10-15 minutes, two times a day when you begin training. As your dog falls into your new routines and your relationship strengthens, you can stop having “sessions,” and instead just incorporate what your dog knows into your daily life.
This course is an excellent guide to get your (puppy or dog) on the right track toward a healthy relationship with you, and with basic obedience. It can be a great foundation for any dog, whether you’re just wanting a happy household pet, or you’d like to continue on to dog sports, therapy work, or service dog work. However, if your dog struggles with extreme fear, anxiety, or aggression, this course is not going to be enough to solve your issue. While it will give your dog a good foundation in manners, you will likely still need in-person help from a local professional trainer to improve your dog’s behavior and quality of life.
