Our Talented Trainers

Sarah Plyler, CPDT-KA

Sarah Plyler, CPDT-KA, is a certified professional dog trainer with over eight years of experience working with rescue dogs. She spent more than two years at the Greenville Humane Society, where she worked extensively with dogs of many breeds, ages, and behavioral challenges. Sarah’s expertise spans across a wide range of behavioral issues, from basic obedience to anxiety and fear-based problems.

In addition to her work in dog training, Sarah holds a Bachelor of Arts in Piano and has been teaching for over 14 years. She believes her teaching skills in music have seamlessly translated to her work with dogs and their owners, allowing her to communicate effectively and foster positive change in both human and canine behavior.

Sarah and her husband, Casey, are also dedicated foster dog parents, having opened their home to over 200 dogs, providing them with a safe and supportive environment while they wait for their forever families.

With a unique blend of passion, experience, and dedication, Sarah continues to make a positive impact on both the dogs she trains and the families she helps.
