Sarah's seminar was extremely helpful! I am an evaluator for the Delta Society and while I have evaluated many, many dogs over the years, I learned A LOT in this seminar. The video footage was amazing and critical for this subject and Sarah is an outstanding speaker!
Diana McQuarrie
I can see the behaviors Sarah covered daily in our ward at the veterinary clinic. This would be an invaluable presentation for the veterinary students and I would like to see this be a required seminar for veterinary students and technicians also. How great to have a resource as knowledgeable as Sarah in our own back yard!
Helen Schultz, University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine
Phenomenal! Riveting! I am truly amazed we manage to maintain relationships with our dogs when we communicate so poorly with them! I am very impressed with Sarah's expertise. She has a sound intuitive sense as well as common sense that is refreshing in the dog community!
Claire Wenstrom, dog trainer
This was hands down the best video presentation I've seen. It organized signals into groups that made complete sense and showed a wide variety of breeds which made it much more useful than other presentations I have seen on similar topics.

This series has received high praise from professionals and pet owners alike:
--------------------------------------------------------
I watched Sarah's "Language of Dogs" DVDs and agree with my colleagues here who watched them first - they are exceptional. I'll watch them again and again and again. And Sarah, your price is also exceptional. I paid several hundred dollars for videos with a similar theme and these contain far more usable information, in my opinion. You are a gifted teacher, too.
I highly recommend the DVDs for any member who wants to get better at reading dogs. In fact, they are including Sarah's DVDs in the list of required DVDs/videos for members on the path to certification and needing development in this area.
- Lynn D. Hoover, MSW, CDBC
--------------------------------------------------------
"Language of Dogs" is a wonderful resource for trainers, consultants, shelter workers, dog owners ... it's for everyone and anyone who loves dogs. The knowledge gained through Sarah's thorough and thoughtful presentation will deeply and positively impact the bond we share with our canine friends.
- Mira Jones, BA, CDBC
---------------------------------------------------------
Your DVD set on body language is simply superb! This is truly one of the best dog behavior DVDs I have ever purchased and I will be recommending it to everyone ... trainers colleagues, and students alike. You did an excellent job!
- Carolyn DeFiore, CDBC
--------------------------------------------------------
I watched the first disk of the series from a friend of mine who has it and was really impressed by the quality of the footage, and your presence on screen. I think you gave us, trainers, a great tool. I am now ordering both sets for myself! Thank you.
- Marie-Gabrielle Selarque, CGC evaluator
---------------------------------------------------------
I'd like to throw in my kudos for Sarah's DVDs! I watched them over the holidays and really enjoyed them! In my consultations and classes, I always put a lot of emphasis on learning body language. After watching these, I am going to recommend clients consider purchasing this DVD set. I can't think of anyone who could benefit more than the average dog owner ... where the need is great. Thanks so much for putting it out there for people to learn from. Every step gets us closer to being able to communicate with another species.

I've been reviewing your Language of Dogs DVDs, and they're excellent.

Am I Safe
The Art and Science of Canine Behavior Assessments
Thousands of unwanted dogs enter shelters and animal rescue groups each year. Some have detailed histories provided by the families who surrendered them, and others arrive with little or no background information.
The challenge for caretakers is to determine which dogs are safe to be placed, and create a comprehensive personality profile of these dogs that can be used to match them with the best possible new homes.
Dog professionals specializing in training and behavior are often called upon to help assess dogs for not only shelter and rescue organizations but also for families needing to re-home their dogs.
This video provides start-to-finish instructions for completing an assessment that is safe for the handler, fair to the dog, and has excellent predictability of future behavior. All support materials are provided, including a resource guarding scale and evaluation form.
