Hi, I’m Sara Sokol!

Allow me to introduce myself and tell you a little about how I train.

Invest in your relationship with your dog with relationship based, holistic dog training

Start building a new relationship with your dog and finally get the behavior that you want.

At Mr. Dog Training I will help you create a strong bond and connection with your dog while building both you and your dog’s skills, knowledge and elevate your confidence every step of the way.


I believe training should be fun, for both you and your dog, and that training with your dog should help create a strong, lasting relationship built on respect, joy and trust. Empathy towards ourself and our dog allows us to create a more positive and engaging experience for dogs, improving their motivation and willingness to learn.

I take pride in providing a safe, fun, and compassionate environment to learn in while focusing on skills, games, enrichment, and communication.

Are you ready to be a rebel and focus on your dog’s emotional state?

I can’t wait to help you!

A dog’s love isn’t about what you can give, it’s about who you are to them. It’s loyalty, comfort, and understanding, all wrapped into one quiet, constant presence that never asks for anything but to be near you ..
— R.M. Drake 🩶

What makes my training different from the rest?

My focus when working with clients is prioritizing an understanding of how our dogs, and ourselves, learn, what drives behavior, building clear and consistent communication, an understanding of canine body language so that we can “listen” to our dogs, and prioritizing, above all else, the relationship that we have with our dogs.
