“At last, Sara has written a book . . . and it’s stunning! Super Dog Tricks is beautifully written with oodles of photographs that clearly illustrate the quickest and easiest ways for you to have fun teaching and motivating your dog on the way to building a confident, loving, and engaging relationship. Your dog just can’t wait for you to read this book!”
 —Dr. Ian Dunbar, Founder of the Association of Professional Dog Trainers

“Sara inspires dog trainers around the world to learn how to better engage with their dogs. In this book, she uses her unrivaled intuition and understanding of a dog's learning process, sharing training methods that are fast, simple, and easy for dogs to understand.”
 —Keri Caraher, Founder and President of The Canine Stars, Inc.

“When I met Sara, I immediately knew that she would be a star in the dog-training world. It makes sense she is drawn to border collies as both she and the collies are very smart, driven, willing to go the distance, and best of all, very faithful to their pack.”
 —Omar Von Muller, Hollywood Animal Trainer
