Sarah the trainer was absolutely phenomenal. Our dogs had a wonderful stay and learned so much. When we picked them up she spent almost 2 hours teaching us things to help with their aggression and it’s really paid off since we’ve been home. We will definitely bring them back and recommend her without reservation.

Sarah was awesome with my crazy little lady! I have a young very high drive pup and I'm very careful about whose care I leave her in, and I would absolutely trust Sarah to watch her again!

Last weekend, Isis had her first training session at Purple Tyger. Prior to the training, she would pull so hard, that I was no longer able to safely walk her. Immediately after training, I was able to walk her around the block twice, easily. Isis learned some basic commands and hand signals. She will now sit or lie down on command or with a hand signal. She is also learning to come and to go to her place. She had a serious problem with play biting and jumping on people to greet them or play. Those behaviors have almost stopped and when she forgets, I can easily correct her. Our first training session was a board and train which was followed immediately with a one hour lesson, where I learned how to continue and reinforce her training. I also had Sarah bathe her and trim her nails. Isis and I are both happier and anxious to resume our training. I cannot recommend Sarah and Purple Tyger enough. She has already changed our lives for the better!
Sarah is a great trainer and teacher can't wait for our next session .If you are looking for a great trainer that is reasonably price I highly recommend

We are so pleased with the progress our dog Theo made under the training guidance of Sarah at Purple Tyger Creations Training and Boarding. Theo worked on reacting to other dogs during his board and train 2 week stay and now we are both confident as we pass by dogs while out on walks. The training Sarah provided gave us direction and makes sense. I am grateful for the training Sarah provided Theo and myself. This training has made such a positive difference for our family, I strongly recommend Sarah and Purple Tyger Creations Training and Boarding.
