About Me

Meet Savannah – Owner & Lead Trainer at Great Starts Dog Training

Hi! I’m Savannah, the founder and lead trainer here at Great Starts Dog Training. Dogs have always been a central part of my life — from a young age, I sought out every opportunity to be around them, learn from them, and connect with them. What began as a passion has grown into a career focused on helping dogs and their humans thrive together.

I specialize in teaching dog parents how to better understand, communicate with, and enjoy life with their dogs. Training can feel overwhelming at first, but you won’t be left to figure it out on your own. My goal is to make sure you feel supported, confident, and capable — not just during our time together, but long after your program ends.

With over a decade of experience and hundreds of dogs trained, I continue to deepen my knowledge through ongoing education in the science of dog behavior and psychology. I believe every dog is unique and deserves a thoughtful, compassionate approach — regardless of breed, temperament, or history.

To me, dogs are family — and I know how important it is to create a peaceful, balanced life together. I’m so grateful for the chance to help people and their pups build strong, lasting bonds. I can’t wait to be a part of your journey!

Our Approach

At Great Starts Dog Training, our goal is to create tailored in-home sessions that address each dog’s unique needs, fostering trust and effective learning without the distractions of group settings.
