Hi, my name is Sarah Dugger, owner of Good Dog & Co.

an animal trainer that applies the art and science of positive reinforcement to improve animal welfare, teach confidence in a variety of conditions, reinforce your bond with your pet, and equip your pet with the necessary skills for achieving a well-adjusted relationship with you, their human, and the world around them. 

I have more than a decade of specialized experience studying the behavior of animals, and applying science-backed methods to most effectively and compassionately train them. Some highlights of my career—which has taken me from the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium to the Denver Zoo to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in Colorado Springs—include working with tigers (my favorite animal), starting programs for animals with no history of positive-reinforcement training, being chosen to present at The Animal Behavior Management Alliance conference, and continuing to learn from experts in the field, like Stellaard, Steve Martin, Dr. Susan Friedman, and Rick Hester.
