DOG TRAINING · PRINCETON, MN
Training that actually works. For any dog, any age.
Your dog isn’t the problem. If you’re frustrated, embarrassed, or just exhausted from trying — Sarah Bostock has worked with dogs exactly like yours. Wild puppies, stubborn teenagers, reactive dogs, aggressive dogs. Whatever your situation, she’s seen it before.
MEET YOUR TRAINER
Most kennels have a trainer. Very few have Sarah.
Sarah Bostock is as approachable as she is credentialed. Whether you have a new puppy or a dog with serious behavior challenges, she’s seen it before and knows exactly what to do.
- BS Biology & Psychology, UCF — focused on animal behavior
- Wolf educator under Dr. David Mech, one of the world’s leading wolf biologists
- Educator at Sea World — interned at zoos and animal sanctuaries
- Specializes in reactivity, aggression, and behavior modification
- Works with all breeds, sizes, and temperaments
THE SMART FIRST STEP
Know exactly what your dog needs before you commit.
Not every dog benefits from the same training. A $100 assessment with Sarah helps us understand your dog and recommend exactly the right program — so you’re not guessing and your dog isn’t in the wrong class.
GROUP CLASSES
A program for every dog
Our group classes follow a progressive path — each level building on the last. Every class is taught by Sarah in our climate-controlled indoor training facility, open year-round.
