I Want To Help You Enjoy Your Puppy, Walk You Through The Ruff Patches and Cheer You On... Because I've Been There

Sarah Crozier

Head Trainer/ Owner

Ever since my toddler years—when "woof" was likely my first word—I've been enchanted by the world of dogs. My grandma found my puppy impersonation amusing; she even set out a bowl of water for my imaginative play!

From early experiences as a dog trainer in 4-H during my teenage years to my current role, dogs have remained my unwavering passion. However, my journey took an unexpected turn when I became an overwhelmed dog mom to a spirited German Shepherd named Billie Bones.

Navigating the challenges with Billie Bones transformed my perspective. It wasn't just about training; it was a profound connection, a calling. Today, as a dedicated dog trainer, every day is an opportunity to honor my lifelong love for dogs and support both them and their humans on their unique journeys.

Why This Approach Works

Before diving into the details, here is the heart of the course: simple foundations that help puppies settle faster and help owners feel more confident day by day.

As a seasoned professional dog trainer with a wealth of experience working with thousands of people and their furry friends over the last nine years, I've walked in the shoes of many struggling puppy parents. Despite my initial knowledge and thorough research, I found myself at a loss when faced with the challenges of raising a German Shepherd. This struggle, nearly resulting in re-homing, led me to a transformative solution: implementing a strict routine, a well-defined schedule, and the Scotch Pines Dog Training Leadership Exercise.

This course is born out of empathy and a deep understanding of the common struggles faced by puppy parents. Drawing from my personal experience, I aim to empower individuals to navigate the complexities of puppy parenting successfully.

Topics/Themes Covered:

Routine in Puppy Raising: Establishing a regular and predictable schedule to instill order and predictability, crucial for house training and behavior development.
Structure in Puppy Raising: Organizing and planning your puppy's daily life, creating a framework for direction, purpose, and a sense of security.
Leadership: Unpacking the concept of being a pack leader and its significance in building a strong bond with your dog.

The course employs a dynamic blend of video and text, providing engaging content for varied learning preferences. Participants will benefit from checklists, printable worksheets, and routines to reinforce the learning process.

The goal is to make puppy parenting an enjoyable and enriching experience for both you and your puppy.
