About Sarah

Sarah Rutten isn’t just another dog trainer — she’s the straight-talking, myth-busting leader shaking up the industry with science-backed, force-free training that actually makes sense. She’s got the expertise of a behaviour specialist, the practicality of a no-BS coach, and the humour of that mate who tells it like it is.
