The Perfect Dog Training Companion for your Furry Friend!
With a comprehensive look at how to help your dog behave well using positive reinforcement, reward-based dog training, professional dog trainer Sarah Rutten's acclaimed force-free methods will have you both jumping for joy!
Frustrated with Your Dog's Constant Barking or Chewing?
Struggling to Get Your Puppy to Obey Basic Commands?
Is Your Dog's Anxiety or Aggression Making Walks Impossible?
Tired of Feeling Helpless When It Comes to Dog Training?
Training a dog can feel overwhelming, especially when you think you’ve tried everything. Whether you’re dealing with a hyperactive puppy, an anxious dog, or ongoing behavioural issues, finding the right method can make all the difference.
I believe in using compassion, the correct application of canine psychology, and only treating the dog with respect – the exact same way exotic and dangerous animals are trained. My 100% force-free approach uses positive reinforcement and kindness, and with over twenty years of experience, I know these strategies not only work, but they also leave both dog and owners far happier.
My aim is for this book to become a valuable resource as you grow with your four-legged family member!

Your Dog's Behaviour Troubles End Here
Whether you’ve got a rambunctious puppy, a rebellious adolescent, or a rescue that’s a little “ruff” around the edges, I’m here to help with a comprehensive dog training resource.

Lia Verhelst
Thank you so much Sarah! Your advice and support has made such a difference to our confidence caring for a rescue dog. Your insights and suggestions have made such a positive difference – you really know your stuff!
Meredith Yardley
Sarah is excellent with dogs and more importantly, with owners! I learned so much and she really helped me with an anxious rescue dog.
Julie Streckfuss
Sarah is a miracle worker. I am so grateful to her. I am walking both my dogs with ease now, thanks to her instructions and recommendations. Our whole experience of going for walks is different after only 1 lesson. Incredible. Thank you so much. Despite the fact that I am not naturally a dog person she was so kind and encouraging that I have been converted. I feel so confident and capable of caring for my dogs now. Thank you Sarah for all you have done.
Sharon Brodie
Thank you Sarah for a wonderful five weeks of how to treat, train and cater for a young puppy-all done in a positive way. Your knowledge is outstanding. Both Angus and I are looking forward to the Kindy class.
Robyne Trotter
Sarah and her team are such an amazing group of people! We (My puppy Storm, my partner and I) had just graduated puppy school, had an amazing time meeting new puppies and building confidence and now moving into k9 kindie. I would recommend The Canine Perspective to anyone who has a new or old puppy that needs some training
