Click!Pawsitive Dog Training

We did one-on-one training consultation earlier this last month for our 1.5 year old dog who was having trouble walking on leash without getting distracted. We had a great experience- she was able to teach us some techniques within the two hour-long sessions that have helped us and our dog so much! Daily walks have become enjoyable instead of a source of stress. Sara was generous with her time and advice and was able to provide good insight into our dog’s behaviors and ways to help her succeed. Definitely worth the time and money.

I am a disabled service dog handler & have utilized the training services of Click!Pawsitive Dog Training owner, Sara Alguire. Sara is an absolutely incredible dog trainer. She runs wonderful training groups and also offers convenient personal training sessions. Sara is a Karen Pryor Academy Certified Training Partner (KPA-CPT), which essentially means that she is credentialed by the foremost academy of force-free positive reinforcement training. This accreditation is reserved for the best of the best in the dog training arena. If a trainer is effective in training a dog to service dog standard (and understanding ADA law and task training requirements) it is fair to say that they can handle any pet dog that comes their way. Sara is the trainer I chose after contacting upwards of 10 other local trainers, and I do not hesitate to recommend her to any service dog team or pet dog owner in a 50 mile radius of Haslett, Michigan.

I can't say enough great things about Sara!! She took my hysterical phone call on a Saturday, not knowing me, and stayed on the phone for almost an hour calming me down after my rescue dog bit my friend. :( I was worried that we wouldn't be able to keep him...she came to our house to help us help him and he is a completely different dog! Charlie has grown so much with her help and so have we. She gave us the tools to train him and know the warning signs when he is anxious. We LOVE her for helping us turn him around! Thanks for everything!!

We love Sara! We decided to adopt 2 puppies and our boy Bodie was so anxious/reactive and we knew we needed help. We took them both through the first obedience class and loved it. They both did great and Sara is a puppy training wizard. She was so patient with us and the puppies. So, we decided to splurge and go for the one on one training to address Bodie’s specific reactive behaviors and it was soo worth it! He has made such great progress with the training and other tips Sara showed us. We feel so much more confident and positive that we have the tools to help him be a calm happy boy...and we can easily use what we learned to work with our other fur children. She went out of her way to work with our schedule and even helped us with questions we asked her on a weekend. Bodie loved seeing Sara and we will miss our weekly training sessions with her!

Sarah did great with my boxer/bulldog mix. She is always hesitant towards strangers, but warmed up to Sarah and was always very excited when time for our sessions would come. We had private training sessions so she came right to my apartment and provided a clicker and treat bag, as well as weekly using her own treats for training. I enlisted Sarah's help in dealing with my dog's reactivity towards other dogs, and through our training sessions she is finally on the road to being calm when in the presence of other dogs. She was also considerate of my varying schedule as a college student, and made this aspect a lot easier on me as well. I would definitely recommend Sarah to anyone that is looking for help with reactivity issues.
