About

Hey, my name is Sarah and I run Mutty Manners. I am 27 years old and passionate about training dogs in a way that is fun for both them and their owners. I have spent the last 3 years as a dog walker to gain hands-on experience with all kinds of different dogs, from small to big and from timid to exuberant. 

I have been taking classes with the IMDT and seminars with other accredited reward based trainers to broaden my knowledge. My goal for 2025 is to complete my assessment to become a member of the APDT.

For the past 3.5 years I have been owned by Lola, a now 8 year old overseas rescue and if there’s anything she has taught me it’s the importance of patience and to celebrate the small victories. Being an overall nervous dog, we have spent a lot of time working on her reactivity and have made incredible progress. From lunging and screaming at nearly every dog we encountered, she will now happily walk past (most) of them and our walks have become so much more enjoyable.
