She generously shares her knowledge, and helps every dog owner she encounters, whether they are clients, customers, or just someone who has a dog and needs some help and could benefit from everything she knows. Our dog has taken more than 10 classes and every trainer Angela hires shares her outlook on positive reinforcement and the joy that training and bonding brings to both the dog and their human. Tails A Wagging is a safe place for dogs, and the humans that love them. Highly Recommend. All the Paws Up!

Unfortunately, she vomited every last crumb a few hours after the trainer left. I got the impression that the trainer was mostly sharing "this is what I do with my dog," instead of coming from a place of knowledge.

Cedarwoods is awesome!…read more We met with Sam for a free consultation and told us about the philosophy behind their training. They don't use treats to train the dogs. I know my dog and if you don't have a treat he won't listen to a thing you say! But it worked! We went through the basic training class and then the off lead training. Our dog is easily excitable and wants nothing more than to play with the other dogs, so keeping his attention was difficult. But over the time we were there our dog learned to listen and obey and have fun while doing it. I would say our dog is one of the more difficult cases and he made amazing progress! About a week before we started taking our dog here, I was mentioning Cedarwoods to a coworker. There was someone working on the electrical just there for the day, he heard me talking and said he took his dog there and loved it! And that's the feedback I get from everyone who's gone to Cedarwoods. I highly recommend Cedarwoods! Every dog can benefit from the training! It's worth every penny.

Our dog was also soaking wet and when I asked why she said "from drinking water" I then brought up the spray bottle they use on the dogs and she said "yeah we sprayed her because she was running" ... dogs aren't allowed to run? My dogs eyes were also blood shot and that wasn't explained either. Keep your dog safe and don't bring them to this place.

This much as obvious as soon as you meet Sarah in her training center--she's passionate about a)…read morethe well-being of all dogs, b) her human clients and maximizing their communication / relationship with their dogs, and c) the art / skill / career of dog training. We already had 2 well-adjusted dogs when we adopted our third, a 7-month old puppy with issues our older dogs never had...so we took the new guy for private training in Sarah's "Fundamentals Program". Sarah spent several hours with us during the initial session (in the evening, so both human parents could be there), getting to know our dog, our concerns, teaching us techniques, literally walking us through drills with a slip lead (since leash reactivity was one of our pup's biggest issues), and observing both of us 'parents' and giving us individual pointers. It wound up being literally life-changing for us and the puppers. Ever watch a YouTube dog training video, or any episode of Cesar Milan, where some out-of-control punk pup is rehabilitated into a responsible canine citizen within the span of a few minutes of screentime, and think 'it'll never work like that with MY dog'? (I have...cuz we were pretty desperate before heading to Naturally Driven K9). Well it's not instantaneous in real-life...but spend a few hours with a kickass trainer like Sarah, and it CAN be that easy to transform the puppers (or your relationship with your puppers) if you're consistent in applying what you've learned. It's not like we weren't trying before, it's just that our pre-Sarah attempts at training him were ineffective. One of the open secrets about Sarah's profession must be that 'dog training' is just as much (if not more) about training the humans. Dog 'parents' can run on the defensive side--so the fact that Sarah teaches us humans in a way that's expert, constructive, but comes across as non-threatening, makes her training so easy to be receptive to. She's clearly studied many different philosophies of dog training (and continues to do so), but she's a dog parent just like the rest of us and seems to have adapted the best aspects of other trainers she's learned from, and her own experience, into her own common sense, effective style. Leash walks used to be dreadful ordeals for us as well as the puppy, and she's given us the tools to make our walks happy and productive instead of loud, stressful, and aggressive. Long way of saying, we love Sarah, and can't thank her enough--the things she's taught us about how to interact with our puppy has improved our communication with the older dogs as well--and by the time we returned for our 1 hour followup session with Sarah only 2 weeks later, it was like we were bringing back a completely different dog. Highly recommend her services.

We never got anywhere close to where we felt safe with our pups. One dog in our class had the "Hannibal lector" mask on and would lunge at our dog each time she went near.

We did some longer training because of his breed and youth. Adam has not only trained my dog Otis, but rewired my training in so many ways.

I had done other training with my Border Collie when he was young and it pales in comparison to what I have learned with Adam at Houndsman Canine Academy.
