"The relationship between you and your dog is what matters most."

Sarah Rutten 

Sarah Rutten 

Canine behaviorist and best-selling author with 21 years experience helping guardians and their dogs actually get each other.

Dogs have been at the center of my life for as long as I can
remember. Longer than is probably healthy, if you ask my husband. 😊

In an industry where anyone can call themselves a dog trainer,
I wanted to make sure I was sharing the most up-to-date, science-backed
research and techniques. 21 years, four qualifications and a bestselling book later (and another one on the way), and a number of media appearances along the way - I'm still just as passionate about dogs and their behavior.

Over the years I've worked with thousands of dogs and their people, and seen firsthand how force-free, positive methods can transform not
just a dog's behavior, but the entire relationship. I see how much conflicting information there is out there for guardians to wade through, and have made it my mission to help people develop an amazing relationship with their furry family member. One that is simple, fun, easy to follow, backed by science and goes both ways.

I built this app because I wanted to put everything I know directly in your hands - the kind of guidance that actually works in real life, with a real dog, on a real Tuesday when nothing is going to plan. It's designed to guide you step by step, help you understand your dog better, train your dog better, and for you both to discover just how amazing your relationship can be.

Lauren & Grizzly testimonial photo
I just wanted to give Sarah Rutten a huge shout-out.

We did the recall challenge and have genuinely been putting in the work.

Today my 5-month-old puppy bolted straight towards a busy road. In pure panic, I screamed our recall sound… and just before he hit the road, he stopped dead, spun around, and came straight back to me.

It’s been working beautifully at home and at the dog park, but I’ll be honest — I never expected it to save us in a real, high-stress moment like that. While I absolutely don’t recommend testing it this way, it was terrifying and incredibly reassuring all at once to know that the training worked when it truly mattered.

If we hadn’t done the recall work, today could have ended very differently.

Thank you so much, Sarah, I’m beyond grateful.

We are incredibly grateful for the guidance and support we
receive from Sarah. From the very beginning, she took the time to understand our dog and the challenges we were facing, and provided clear, practical advice that really worked for us.

With Sarah's help, we’ve seen such wonderful improvements in our dog’s
behavior. The training methods are easy for us to continue practicing at home, which has made a huge difference.

What we appreciate most is how supportive and encouraging Sarah has been throughout the process. Sarah truly cares about both our dog and us as owners.

We would highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a knowledgeable,
compassionate trainer who genuinely helps you and your dog succeed.

I recently took part in Sarah’s recall challenge, and it was
an absolute game-changer! Her force-free training methods were easy to understand, positive, and fun to follow. Even my dog—who’s usually distracted by everything, especially the chickens—started coming when called, no matter what was going on around her!

Sarah explained each step clearly and gave practical tips that were simple to implement in everyday life. The results came quickly, and the process was enjoyable for both me and my dog.

I’m so impressed with how successful this training has been and highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for effective, kind, and confidence-building training.

We worked with Sarah with our two dogs who were anxious and
reactive. Sarah has such a natural affinity working with the dogs, she is so knowledgeable and really broke down the methods we were using - because in reality it is us that needs the training!

We used to have to bypass other dogs on our walks and beach trips had become a nightmare but with Sarah's support and guidance we've made huge inroads and our dogs are confident and comfortable
seeing and meeting other dogs.

We also took her 7-day recall challenge and wow - I was blown away by how far we came with our dogs in only seven days. Sarah broke down each important step of the recall and they were so easy to implement. The support online was
fabulous and we really made deeper connections with our dogs. I would 100% recommend this challenge!

Sarah Rutten is one of those rare people who seems to get both people and dogs! We called her in when a rescue dog we had taken in was
completely shut down and would do nothing other than hide. Sarah put us in touch with a brilliant holistic vet and between the two of them, we had some immediate progress - albeit slow.

Sarah seemed to sense when we were losing heart and confidence, and became our biggest cheer squad. She appeared to understand our dog from the get-go and knew exactly what was needed.

It is a long journey we are on, but one we would have stepped off long ago,
were it not for Sarah and her incredible knowledge, support, encouragement and her belief in both us and our beloved pooch. We cannot thank you enough Sarah.

A big thank you to Sarah for her time, expertise and the 1:1 support through our sessions, text messages for advice, weekly emails, and her Facebook community.

Our sessions with Sarah were tailored to suit our unique experience with our Rosie, who was a rescue puppy so her journey was a little different to other puppies.

Sarah was wonderful in knowing exactly what she/we needed, 🫶
which was a calm environment and approach, so Rosie could feel comfortable and confident to learn to trust and be herself. We gained so much from our conversations, her insights, and experience😊 and it shows in our Rosie girl, who is growing into a such healthy, happy member of our family.
