In 2012, Sarka's journey into dog training began with a personal mission to understand and help her own highly reactive dog, Sultan. She knew that to truly help her fearful and aggressive companion, she needed to deepen her knowledge of animal behavior. Sarka enrolled in Animal Behavior College, marking the beginning of her professional career. She immediately put her passion into practice by volu

nteering at a local animal shelter, where she not only fostered and trained numerous dogs with a wide range of behavioral challenges but also adopted three dogs herself from shelters and rescues. Through this work, Sarka discovered that dogs are more than just companions; they are our greatest teachers. She learned that a dog's behavior is a reflection of its environment and its human's leadership. Sarka believes it is our responsibility to learn how to read and understand a dog's language, and to treat them with respect while also establishing the clear boundaries, rules, and routines they need to thrive. For Sarka, dog training is about far more than commands and drills—it's about building a foundation of trust and creating a lifelong partnership. She works with dogs of all breeds and ages, using a reward-based approach during the learning phase and as a reinforcer for established behaviors. Her training services cover a wide array of problem behaviors, including potty training, chewing, nipping, and counter surfing. Sarka is a proud member of the Association for Professional Dog Trainers (APDT) and the United Schutzhund Clubs of America (USCA).

🐾 Two Years of Rex in Our Family’s Life! 🐾

Today I realized that Rex has already been part of our family’s life for two years! ❤️

When I first started training him—and later when he became one of our returning boarding clients—he was just a 13-month-old Sheepadoodle puppy. Today, he’s a 3½-year-old, fully matured male, and what a journey it has been!

We’ve worked through basic obedience, impulse control, anxiety, and some eating challenges, and Rex has learned and grown so much along the way. Watching his progress has been incredibly rewarding.

But our work together isn’t finished yet. In fact, the next chapter of Rex’s life is just about to begin. 🐕💪

Stay tuned for more of Rex’s journey!
Come back for more! 😉 Dean Kautz

When your Malinois turns into a total pogo stick! 😂💥

Zeus’s mom came up with this fun engagement game she calls 'Bucking Bronco,' and 1-year-old Zeus is 100% here for it! We love seeing this kind of pure energy, happiness, and connection during an obedience class break. Sound ON for total laughter—living with a high-drive dog is never boring! 🔊🐶

Sanger obedience classes are rolling, and I couldn't ask for a better crew! 🐕✨.

I always have so much fun watching my clients and their dogs put in the work and succeed. Who else is ready for the next round of training?
