Welcome to Game Changer Dogs

Game Changer Dogs is based in South Cumbria, offering in person training and a growing number of online training options.

Work with an ethical trainer who uses scientifically proven methods that are kind and effective.

Sarah grew up around dogs and now shares her life with three very special rescues. She’s a qualified Pro Dog Trainer with Absolute Dogs and is currently studying to be a Canine Science Behaviourist with the School Of Canine Science.

Sarah appreciates the challenges that dogs, and their owners, face today, especially in our fast-paced modern world.

Our focus is on providing modern, effective and kind training solutions that are backed up by science and evidence. We use positive reinforcement to train dogs in a way that reshapes their thinking and behaviour, so that we get to the root of the problem.

There are no sticking plasters here!

We offer a variety of training options with something to suit everyone.

Whether you want to set your dog up for success, get your training back on track or deal with problem behaviours – we have methods that work with your dog’s natural impulses and personality so that you can…

🐾 Have that loose lead walk

🐾 Calmly pass other dogs

🐾 Get real life recall

🐾 Have a settled dog at home

🐾 Have visitors call with no drama

🐾 Trust your dog to make good decisions

…all while knowing your best friend is happy and fulfilled.

  • Sam & Lennon (Rottweiler Cross Rescue Puppy)

    We worked with Sarah to train our excitable new puppy. Her patience, advice, skills and games are second to none. She has taught us and puppy so much that we will continue to work on as he grows up. Sarah provides fantastic documentation every week outlining the skills we've worked on and plans for us to continue the training. We would highly recommend Sarah for anyone looking to train a dog of any age.

  • Kathryn & Dobby (Romanian Rescue Hound)

    “Dobby is now enjoying off lead play and we’re all much happier! I also met someone today who is doing the same course and their dog is doing great too! I got such a lot out of this and I’m sure it’ll help us going forward.”

  • Toria and Bridie (Rehomed Ex Racing Greyhound)

    “Massively proud moment! On our morning walk we saw a cat and Bridie thought about going for it. But I used one of the games we’ve been playing and she totally focussed on that and forgot the cat! On with the walk, what a clever girl! ”
