Hi! I'm Sarah Ledermann

​Growing up with pets at home, I have always loved dogs and know the joy they bring to a family home.

As a mum of two, I understand how busy family life can be and therefore specialise in providing personalised programmes to help families with their new puppies.

​

I know that by starting early, with the right training programme, they will grow into happy, confident dogs who can easily fit into your family’s lifestyle. Using a positive, science-based approach, I aim to help every member of your family build a strong relationship with your dog based on trust, fun interactions and affection.​​​​​​

From Passion to Purpose:
My Journey

Dogs have always been a part of my life—not just as pets, but as companions, teachers, and family. But it wasn’t until I became a mum that I truly became fascinated by the way they think and communicate. Raising my children made me realize just how important patience, guidance, and understanding are - not just for kids but for our dogs too.​

​

​That’s what inspired me to start Dog Minds - a place where dog owners can learn to truly understand their dogs and communicate with them in a way that builds trust, respect, and harmony. My approach is built on patience, kindness, and real knowledge of how dogs think. No frustration, no guesswork - just a deep, meaningful connection between you and your dog.

It's All About You

Every dog and their family are unique. Listening to my client’s specific needs is just as important as helping them understand their dog’s needs. By working together, I will support you in building a strong and fun relationship with your dog.

 

This will be achieved by teaching and communicating with your dog using positive reinforcement training methods. For every stage of your dog’s development, I will give you the necessary tools and confidence to help them thrive and conquer any challenges along the way.
