Sarah, a Coburg local and dog-mum to Great Danes Nova and Hooch, spent two decades teaching primary school before deciding to pursue her dream of working with dogs. Sarah holds a Certificate II in Animal Studies and has completed several courses on dog behaviour and psychology. She has also gained invaluable knowledge about canine mental health by working with dog trainers and behaviourists to manage Nova's severe anxiety. Her expertise goes beyond canine health, nutrition, and body language; Sarah is also well-versed in animal legislation and codes of practice. With a strong commitment to responsible pet ownership and animal welfare, she has volunteered with multiple dog rescue organizations, including a year spent at the RSPCA vet clinic. At Barks and Recreation, Sarah aims to provide every dog with the love and care they deserve. She is passionate about creating a safe and engaging environment that excites dogs and keeps them coming back.
