Sarah was incredibly gentle, informative and effective with our two dogs. They learned commands that I’ve not been able to teach them and our anxious dog is now making new friends. Their behavior and happiness has changed for the better. I highly recommend Sarah with Alliance Dog Training.

Sarah Dyer is amazing with my handicapped mother and her juvenile German Shepard! She is so patient with my mother who struggles to move and struggles with an overly energetic, not yet trained dog. Bullet the dog is quite behaved now and quickly responds to the commands Sarah is teaching him! Me and my family highly recommend her services as she is smart, kind and patient!
My experience was wonderful. Working with Sarah has been calm and positive. Her patience in training both my new 5 year pup and me (mostly me) is magic.

Sarah has been wonderful in helping me with my dogs! She is kind, gentle, compassionate, and loving. She focuses on positive aspects of training and works to make training a fun, joyful experience. She came to me highly recommended by a vet behaviorist who retired a couple years ago. She is so worthy of the praise. She’s my go-to person when I need advice/guidance on not just training but behavioral situations, as well.

We have a four month old Queensland Heeler with ENERGY! Since she couldn’t be social with other dogs yet (without all her shots) I reached out to Sarah. She has been AMAZING in working with us one on one. Our Heeler is learning so much and comes home tired at the end of every session. I feel like Sarah gives a good blend of focused training, and training while playing. Our puppy and I did our first walk in the neighborhood, and you could see all the work she’s put in with Sarah paying off 💙 She didn’t pull on her leash and she kept looking at me to make sure she knew what I was doing. Blown away! Thank you Sarah for making it safe and fun for us to learn!!!
