I just brought my dog home from a 2 week board and train. I could not have asked for a better experience. I got continuous pictures and updates. A video and a write up when I picked up my dog so I can have the tools I need to continue the training.

We signed up our 3.5 month old Corgi for Sarah’s two week board and train program and could not have been happier with the results! We wanted to make sure our puppy developed good habits and manners right away since we also have young children. We shared what our concerns were and what we wanted him to focus on and she structured her training to make sure those areas were covered extensively. We got video and picture updates almost everyday to see our puppy’s progress, and she gave us a personalized training guide when we arrived to pick him up. Sarah also spent over an hour with us when we came to get him to make sure we understood all of his newly learned commands. We had a vet appointment the next day, and I can’t tell you how many compliments we received on how well behaved he was around the other dogs. They were amazed! My favorite video she sent was all the dogs playing in the backyard (probably 5-6). It had to be the most quiet group of dogs I have ever seen. 15 minutes of watching them play and not one barked. It was amazing. Sarah is clearly very knowledgeable and passionate about what she does. Overall 10/10 experience!

Our puppy Daisy spent 2 weeks with Sarah for a board and train. We are so thankful for everything Sarah did for her. Daisy is so much more confident. We received photos and videos every day of Daisy's progress, which really helped us to be sure we made the right choice. Sarah gave us a lot of guidance and advice to help Daisy when we got her home. If you're looking for a trainer, we would highly recommend Purple Tyger!

Sarah is extremely communicative, providing thoughtful images and details about my dog’s day and behavior during daycare and boarding. She spends time getting to know the unique quirks and challenges of each client and shares helpful tips on how to continue working through those issues. My dog is occasionally snappy when overexcited and Sarah is helping her build confidence and learn better communication skills. It is obvious that she loves her work and the dogs in her care! I am able to feel at ease leaving even my anxious pup with her knowing she can handle and help her with patience.
