Introduction
I have 13 years experience working with dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments and have attended multiple training workshops for animal behavior and enrichment, in addition to becoming a certified trainer after completing my masters course through CATCH. My vast knowledge and hands on experience allows me to provide the best quality pet care services. My services encompass all animal needs, such as medical needs, training needs, high energy, and basic walks, pets that may need more individual care, and pets looking for extra social time! I take great pride in my attention to animals and their daily need. I strive to provide the best care possible for all pets at the most affordable rates for their owners. I love being with animals and being out and about regardless of the weather. I greatly enjoy putting my knowledge and experience to the greater purposes and providing the best care for animals! I also greatly enjoy sending pictures to my costumers of their pets while in my care and knowing that happiness that it brings to owners knowing their pet is in good hands.

Very impressed! I received a great deal of insight into my dogs behavior and many good tips to help my own behavior! The hurt was very thorough, I felt like I got a great deal out of our time together and the level of professionalism was welcome.

Wonderful experience with Sarah, Kylie and the Beyond The Walk Team! After a week long intensive training program, we saw immediate improvement in our 4 year old Bernedoodle’s behavior - most notably less barking and hyperactivity. BTW was very responsive and professional in all of our interactions and easy to work with re pick up/drop off logistics. I would definitely recommend BTW to my friends and family in the Fairfield County area.

I was feeling overwhelmed by my dog Marvin's behavior but then I called Beyond the Walk and I met Sarah. Sarah is a blessing and an amazing dog trainer. Sarah tailored the training to our needs specifically. She took Marvin who was suffering from high anxiety and starting to prevent us from leaving the home and brought him back to me as a new dog. Sarah gave me the tools and techniques I need to help him overcome his issues and took the time to educate me on how to reinforce the training at home with private lessons in my home. I am so happy I decided to have Marvin training professionally. It was money well spent and he will go back to them for boarding in the future. Thanks Sarah!

Details: 2 - 10 years old • Large (41 - 70 lbs) • I'm flexible • Aggressive behavior modification • Leash pulling • Barking • Biting • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.

Sarah was great. She first met us at home to meet our two puppies Oliver and Rylie and gave us some tips and homework/purchases to make before our next session. We then met Sarah at the park/beach with the two puppies to work on leash skills, reactivity mitigation etc. I’ve already recommended her to co-workers. highly recommend.
