SA PRO Certified Behaviour Consultant

(In Progress)

I'm hoping to provide separation anxiety training for your dog through SA PRO once certified. 

I did training with Sandra for my then 3 year old mixed breed females. It was during the pandemic, so the training was done over Zoom. It was amazing. Sandra easily assessed the individual training needs of each of my dogs. Just like children, they learned differently. She worked with me to address some of the problems I was having, by educating me on how to use different training techniques to get the best from each dog. The dogs loved the training sessions because it was like play where they got to exercise their brains. I would highly recommend training with Sandra. It was a fun, positive experience.
