My name is Sarah Frohock. I've been a dog lover my entire life. As a young child, my first thought was to be a Veterinarian, but that was because I had no idea the job as Dog Trainer existed.  

​

  My first involvement with training started over 15 years ago when my dog Nacoma showed some major behavior issues.  I worked with a trainer to help him become a better dog and for me to become a MUCH better owner! 

​

  From there my love of dog training evolved. I read every book I could and was certified as a Dog Trainer by Mike Robertson of Plymouth, NH.  I continue my experience and growth by attending seminars and working with my students.  

​

  My love for training had evolved even further with the love of Dog Sports. I love competition and I love the teamwork and relationship you build by working with your best friend.

​

I love spending time with my favorite Human Marco and our 5 dogs, and 2 cats. 

Emily Skelley is the proud owner of a 4-year-old German Shepherd named Belly. She has been with SCC for three years, starting by shadowing Sarah across all her classes. Over time, Emily discovered a passion for teaching owners how to effectively use e-collars. She finds fulfillment in witnessing the transformation of both dogs and their handlers, as she watches their confidence soar and the bond between them deepen.

Outside of training, Emily serves as the office manager at Doran Independent Insurance in Wolfeboro. In her free time, she enjoys competing with Belly in Rally, Obedience, and Agility, and when they’re not in the ring, you can often find them swimming and enjoying boat rides on the lake during the summer months.

My name is Michelle and I am a professional canine fitness trainer. My story starts with a very challenging rescue dog named Vinny. To save his life, I had to dive into dog training much deeper than most pet owners ever have to. Through hours of private lessons and practice, I fell in love with the process of dog training. Along came my Australian cattle dog Chief, who taught me that training can be more than a necessity. I learned how fun training can be and how to build a great relationship with my dog. Chief was my first sport dog, which is how I found canine conditioning. I was inspired to become a certified professional canine fitness trainer to help other dog and handler teams improve their performance, prevent injury, and do what they love for as long as possible! When I’m not training, I’m probably getting lost on trails throughout New England with my cattle dogs Chief and Chickie. 

 

My name is Kira and I’ve been an animal lover since I was little. I went to the University of Connecticut where I graduated with a degree in animal science with an equine minor. Go Huskies! After college I worked as a vet tech for 12 years, including emergency medicine. My canine interests include rally, agility, trick dog, and herding. When I’m not teaching Canine Good Citizen or running the day train program you can find me competing in rally or agility, paddle boarding, and adventuring with my pup Yeti. 

My name is Paige, I am a New Hampshire native and lifetime pet lover. I started working with Sarah last year when I got my first puppy, a golden retriever named Winston. Since then my knowledge and has grown by getting the opportunity to work at Sarah‘s Courteous Canine. When I’m not here, you can catch me at the hair salon as I’m a hairdresser or at home with Winston and my bunnies! I’ve enjoyed getting to know many families and pups at the kennel, and I look forward to meeting more!

​

My name is Kathy and I grew up in Ossipee.  When Im not at the Kennel I like to spend time with my family. 

My name is Missy and I'll be teaching puppy Preschool and you will see me occasionally in the kennel! I'm a dog mom to 6 wonderful rescues: Nugget, Gabby, Ginger, Benny, Oliver and Bergy(pictured below)! As well as some other critters! I've been training with Sarah and Emily for a few years now mostly with Bergy. I worked in vet med for four years and now work at an aluminum trailer manufacturer, Proline Products. I'm a huge animal lover but my heart is in giving dogs a voice and wanting to see them succeed. I enjoy beach trips with the pups, hiking, gardening, anything outside really, and spending time with family! I look forward to meeting everyone and their new babies who come to puppy Preschool! It's gonna be a blast!

I am a life long animal lover, who started off my career in the horse industry from the age of 14. I learned how to be subtle, soft, and in tune with animal body language through working with rescue equids and campaigning and working in the hunter jumper A circuit across New England. After attending UNH to pursue an education in equine and competing on the university IHSA team, I changed lanes to a canine career after taking a dog walking job straight out of college. This job made me privy to the unfortunate downside much of the canine field has- lack of knowledge, transparency, and reliable hands on skill. I found a new passion and a drive to be a small piece in changing that fact by establishing Wag & Whinny, LLC in 2019.

From there, I completed an internship and became employed by renowned dog training facility the pawsitive dog of Boston, and got my first and current sport dog ( Ateij von Hügelblick TKN CGCA IGP2), and added my Golden Retriever (Arrio, CGCA) to the mix in 2022 as a competitive obedience and tracking prospect. I am fortunate enough to work with many fabulous trainers in the area, constantly striving to improve my skills in both general training and competition skills. Now, I can offer those same skills and knowledge to others with the goal of helping people create real results, happier dogs, and healthier partnerships. 

Hi everyone! My name is Starr. I graduated for UNH in 2021 with an Associates Degree in Veterinary Technology and worked in a veterinary hospital for the past five years. During my time in the animal medical field, I noticed there was a need for puppy education and exposure for new puppies in our community.

 I currently ave two Australian Cattle Dogs (Millie and Kahlúa), a Labrador Retriever (Jager), two Siberian Huskies (Keeda and Effina “Effie”) and a Chihuahua (Leo)! You’ll often find me adventuring with my pack through hiking, dog events and so much more! 

 I look forward to meeting new puppies and their owner and help them navigate puppyhood!
