RocketDog Training

I love working dogs in tires. There is so much that can be taught!

Vegas and I at the 2015 National Agility Championships held in Burnaby, BC.

We first met Sarah at puppy classes and have been hooked ever since -- doing obedience training, private lessons when problems arise, and most fun of all, doing agility! Sarah is hands down the best dog trainer I have used -- she is extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, fun, and always tries to see the situation from the dog's perspective. Sarah doesn't just help you train your dog, but teaches you to understand dog behaviour, cues, and body language. With Sarah's lessons, the focus is also on understanding, having fun with and providing the best possible experiences for your dog!

Dog agility is the most fun ever! Not only does our dog love it, it's fun for us too and has taught us lots about fitness, movement, and communicating with our pet through body language. 

Ripley loves her agility classes even more than she loves breakfast (which is a lot!)

Off leash recall training with these two young dogs. My dog, Vegas, is on the right.

"Sarah at Rocket dog has been fantastic helping us (as first time dog owners) form a good working relationship with our rescue dog. She was able to problem solve to get our wild husky some great manners to become an easy to live with new family member!"

I'm learning a lot about using toys and tug as a reward for agility training.
