owner/trainer
From my earliest days in the US Navy as a K9 Handler to becoming an expert in dog training and decoying, my journey has been driven by a relentless pursuit of excellence in canine training. This path has not only been about teaching commands but also about understanding each dog’s unique language and personality. My experience in the Navy, where precision and effectiveness are paramount, has instilled in me a deep respect for the power of proper training and the profound impact it can have on a dog’s abilities and their handler’s confidence.
At CJC K9, we are committed to building not just well-trained dogs but strong teams where trust, respect, and communication are paramount. Whether it’s a young puppy just starting its journey or a professional K9 unit looking to refine its skills, we provide the guidance, expertise, and support to achieve exceptional results.
At CJC K9, we believe that every dog has a story and a unique set of skills waiting to be unlocked. My experience with hundreds of dogs has taught me that training goes beyond commands; it’s about communication, trust, and understanding the individual personality of each canine. As a decoy, I have learned the art of challenging and nurturing dogs, enhancing their natural abilities and correcting their weaknesses. Our training is not just about obedience; it’s about building a partnership that respects the dog’s nature while achieving remarkable results.
Sarah is one of the most passionate, yet selfless, canine trainers and decoys I have met. She always has an idea about how to fix any issues that come up with my K9 partner and isn’t afraid to tell me and hold me accountable. She wants nothing more than to make the teams in our training group the most successful and well prepared teams in the area. She volunteers her time to decoy for our training group and never asks for anything in return except that we try our hardest to improve. Her ability to train dogs is apparent every training we have as she always comes up with new ways for us to improve and it also shows in how well behaved her pets are.
I have worked in many professional circles, and to say I was impressed with Sarah’s level of care, dedication, and knowledge would not begin to speak to the experience. Not only does Sarah pour a tremendous amount of care into every aspect of training, her working knowledge and methods are a phenomenal compliment to each other.
It is easy to understand how Sarah is able to have such amazing results in training just by speaking with her. The only thing that outshines her knowledge of dog training, is the level in which she cares for what she does at a core level.
Not only does she have the ability to train dogs in a phenomenal manner, she has a way of explanation that is also impactful for the handler. She is willing to share her knowledge and truly cares about the canine and handler alike. With the knowledge Sarah has shared with me, I have truly become a better handler and have employed many of her tactics to problem solve, grow in training, and teach new commands to my canine.
The only thing better than a great product is amazing customer service. Sarah has on multiple occasions offered additional help on her own time on the phone and in person to help build my canine team. Anyone looking for substantial and lasting training cannot go wrong working with Sarah.
Sarah Carver is one of the most amazing trainers that I’ve ever been around. I’m a novice when it comes to working dogs. Sarah has helped guide and direct me and my K-9 from the beginning of our journey. Sarah has an innate ability to clearly communicate and demonstrate the proper ways/techniques needed to build a relationship between handler and K-9. One of the words I use to describe Sarah is “artist.” She is fascinating to watch and learn from. I have no doubt that me and my K-9 would not be a successful team without the guidance from Sarah. Simply put, she’s phenomenal.
A knowledgeable and passionate trainer/decoy. A true problem solver when it comes to training and always seeks to make the canine (and handler) better. She is an integral part of making K9 teams stronger for the street.
Her canine obedience training is also above par and highly recommended.
Selfless and excellent decoy and instructor with the experience, knowledge, and ability to share her skills. She is always out there building stronger dogs, handlers, and decoys. I have picked up several skills as a decoy and trainer from working with her.
Amazing balanced trainer! Shows the same amount of love and care for the dogs she trains as she shows her own dogs. When she isn’t working with client dogs or handling her own personal bomb dog, she is donating her time decoying for law enforcement agencies to help better their teams! Easy and fun to work with, would definitely recommend to anyone trying to better their pet or working dog.
