What Our Students Say

I hear her voice in my head.

“My dogs and I absolutely love working with Sarah at Sea Change Canine.

I have worked with numerous instructors over the years and I have learned different methods from all of them, but what I love about Sarah is that she understands dog behavior and the actual sport of competing. She understands that each dog works differently to find odor and works with us as a team.

When I am competing, I hear her voice in my head telling me to do something and it has shown in the ribbons we have earned. I currently have three dogs all working at various levels NW3, NW2 and a dog I have just started.

Each lesson is planned out so there isn't wasted time in class and you come away from each class feeling like you have accomplished something with your dog.”

Experience that shows

“My dogs have attended classes with Sarah Becker since they were puppies! Sarah’s understanding of canine learning comes from years of training and a true love of dogs. 

Her nose work classes reflect her understanding of the sport, both as an event judge and certifying official, but also as a competitor who has taken her own dogs through trials from Novice to Elite. Her knowledge and teaching skills are reflected in the many successes her students have achieved.”

Watching their confidence grow

“I have been taking nose work classes with Sarah since 2023, and I truly can’t say enough wonderful things about her and her classes. I have two Australian Shepherds who absolutely love going to school with Sarah. 

Watching their excitement and confidence grow has been such a joy.

Sarah’s classes are informative, fun, and inspiring. Her extensive experience as a dog trainer shines through in everything she teaches. She has a wonderful ability to understand each dog and handler, explain things clearly, and create an environment where everyone can learn, succeed, and most importantly, have fun. 

We always look forward to class!”
