Our Programs

Training assessment

Introduction to our programs.

$75/1 Hour

Assessment will be increasing to $100 as of March 1, 2026

Our Training Assessment is to evaluate your dog and create a personalized training plan. This session allows us to see your dog in a real-world environment with natural distractions such as people, other dogs, and movement — perfect for understanding leash behavior, reactivity, obedience, and overall engagement.

During the assessment, we will:

  • Observe leash manners, engagement, and behavior around distractions

  • Identify what’s working, what’s not, and why

  • Go over training tools and handling techniques

  • Set clear, realistic goals based on your dog’s needs

  • Build a step-by-step action plan for private sessions or board and train

You’ll leave with:

  • A clear understanding of your dog’s behavior

  • Immediate training recommendations you can start using right away

  • Guidance on which training program is the best fit

  • Honest expectations for progress and outcomes

HAPPY CLIENTS

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Sarah Draycott to train my beagle puppy, Shiloh, all the way up to service dog level.

Beagles can be a challenging breed to train, but Sarah guided us through some of the toughest puppy stages with patience, understanding, and genuine care. What stood out most was her willingness to go above and beyond. If I was struggling, she never hesitated to help.

Whether it was loaning me training equipment, bringing extra treats, answering calls/texts, or even staying after a session to address my concerns. Shiloh absolutely loved his training time with her, and it was clear how much love and care she put into every interaction. Sarah was not only an incredible trainer for my dog but also a great support for me as an owner. Even if Shiloh wasn’t feeling well, I could always count on a quick and thoughtful response from her.

I am so grateful for the opportunity to work with Sarah and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated, compassionate, and skilled trainer. Thank you, Sarah, for everything you’ve done for us
