MY STORY
Meet Your Trainer, Sarah!
I am your trainer Sarah and this is Harley!
​
Harley is my inspiration for ‘My Complex Canine’! As a young puppy he developed some health problems, which impacted his training needs throughout puppyhood, adolescence and into adulthood!
I already had a passion for learning, which combined with my desire to help our beautiful canine friends took me on a pathway of discovery and development through practical and theoretical experience to become the proud owner and founder of My Complex Canine!
