🐾 Meet the Trainer – Sarah Grindstaff! 🐾
Sarah began her training journey back in 2020 when she got her first dog, and what started as a personal passion quickly turned into a lifelong career. Since then, she’s worked with all kinds of dogs — from service dogs to complex behavioral cases — helping each one reach their full potential.
In 2022, Sarah discovered her love for dog sports with her second dog, and it’s now one of her biggest passions in the dog world! She currently owns a 2-year-old Border Collie named Finch, who already holds 15 titles and competes in dock diving, FastCAT, barn hunt, scent work, and more. Together, they’ve even made it to North America Diving Dogs Nationals twice!
As a balanced trainer who leans toward the force-free side, Sarah’s main goal is to help dogs build confidence and set them up for success — creating stronger, happier relationships between dogs and their humans. 💛
