About Trainer Sara Carson of the Super Collies

Sara is a talented 19 year old trainer, who founded her own school, Paws Up Dog Training. She’s been working with dogs for over 8 years,  competing in Agility.

Sara shared with us he techniques for training, “Hero is trained with Positive Reinforcement and Clicker Training. We started training the second I got him home as a puppy. Clicker training is incredible and can be used to train anything! He knew over 60 tricks by the age of 4 months and currently knows over 200 at the age of 2. I run one of the only positive training schools in North Bay and teach a variety of Obedience, Tricks and Agility. Always remember, patience is key when working with animals! ”

“My moto when teaching is I train you not the dog. Its all about the interaction between the dog and owner.” Sara

Check out Hero and Sara’s video for the progression of training the FootStall! But please be careful as this is very advanced trick training and you need the basics or it could be dangerous for your and your dog.
Sara lures Hero onto a cushion on the ground with all four paws then gradually puts it on her raised knees then eventually on her feet.
Hero has great balance and a strong core but I am sure there were still a few falls learning this trick.

We are proud to announce that this Talented Hound will be appearing this April in the FouFou Dogs Got Talent at the All About Pets Show!  and in new Talent Hounds Episodes.
