Many behavior issues are symptoms of deeper confusion, insecurity, or lack of structure. Our board-and-train programs address the root cause by rebuilding clarity, confidence, and accountability through daily training. By working with your dog consistently, we create real behavior change instead of temporary improvements. This is why our results last after your dog returns home.

Board and train is the most effective way to create real behavior change because your dog trains every day, not just once a week. Consistent structure, repetition, and clear expectations help dogs learn faster and retain their training. By removing everyday distractions, dogs can fully focus on learning the right behaviors. This leads to results that actually transfer back into your home.

This level of immersion builds stronger habits, better obedience, and more reliable behavior. It’s the fastest way to see meaningful, lasting results.

Sarah Angerman’s journey into dog training began from a place many owners relate to: fear, frustration, and uncertainty. After a frightening experience with dogs as a child, it wasn’t until rescuing a German Shepherd that she truly began to understand canine behavior, reactivity, and communication. That experience sparked a deep commitment to learning how dogs think, why behaviors happen, and how to create real change through clarity and structure.
Since then, Sarah has invested heavily in her education, training under some of the most respected professionals in the industry. Her background includes advanced seminars, decoy schools, sport-based training, and behavior-focused coursework, including NePoPo® Silver and Gold programs, PSA development, and classes through Fenzi Dog Sport Academy focused on engagement and reactivity. In 2025, she earned 3rd place at SPA Worlds, reflecting her dedication to precision, consistency, and high-level training standards.
Sarah’s approach is rooted in balanced training and clear communication—not guesswork or one-size-fits-all methods. She specializes in helping dogs and owners who feel overwhelmed, confused, or stuck, using structured, daily training to build confidence, reliability, and trust. Every dog in her care is trained with intention, professionalism, and respect, because Sarah understands firsthand how important it is to feel confident about who you trust with your dog.
