Sarah Hanst has had a lifelong focus exploring the unique relationship between dogs and the humans that love them. Their late mother and her legacy as an Equestrian Therapist, allowed Sarah the opportunity to grow up on a small hobby farm, and Sarah eagerly began training first-hand by the age of five.

Sarah has worked professionally with dogs for +15 years. They have earned accreditation as CPDT-KA, AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy Instructor/Evaluator, Canine Good Citizen Instructor/Evaluator, AKC Community Canine Instructor/Evaluator, AKC Urban CGC Instructor Evaluator, Dog & Cat CPR, Dog & Cat Emergency First Aid, and are currently completing coursework with the Victoria Stilwell Academy for Dog Training & Behavior, where they will earn the title of VSA-CDT. In addition to intensive study regarding Canine Psychology & Science-Based Learning Theory, Sarah has studied a variety of holistic care practices regarding our canine companions, such as Canine Nutrition, Canine Massage Therapy, Canine Physical Therapy, and Grooming experience.

Sarah is driven by the pursuit of continuing to learn the latest advances of Science-Based Training Methods and Practices, while working with an emphasis on a Relationship-Centric approach. Their objective is to be a guide towards symbiotic, collaborative coexistence between dogs and their caretakers in an effort to strengthen communication, trust, and the bond shared between caretakerand companion. This effort further aims to keep dogs in loving, supportive homes.
