Sarah

I have been working with dogs professionally since 2007. I graduated with honors from Animal Behavior College in 2009, and from the Bingo Institute of Grooming in 2017. I am a Fear Free Certified Professional, dedicated to reducing stress during grooming visits and to finding new ways to make the experience more pleasant for your pup.

I passionately believe that training and handling should be done in a way that respects the dog’s current limits and enhances rather than harms the canine-human relationship.

Brenda Belial mcboingboing

Six pounds of total chaos. Terrified of bowls and baths but will absolutely chase a 70lb golden retriever out of the yard. Her wardrobe is bigger than mine. Lives for snuggles, squirrels, and snacks.

Tchotchke Kishmeintuchas McBoingBoing

I’ve never met a tougher dog. Tchotchke was brave and bold and beautiful. She was independent and bossy and brilliant. She had the best nose on earth and would bulldoze furniture to get at the kibble crumbs underneath.

Spacely SProcket the rocket dog mcboingboing

Sprocket was the first dog I was responsible for as an adult, and the spark that ignited my interest in dog training. He was silly and sweet and sensitive. When I would take him places, strangers would spontaneously confide their secrets to him. He was my heart and will be remembered always.

Molly Holly Choo CHoo Train McBoingBoing

Hands down the most brilliant (and hungry!) dog I’ve ever worked with. Mols was a busy bee, always looking for something to keep her brain occupied and her belly full. She amazed me daily

What is a mcboingboing?!

My childhood dog was a goofy black lab mix named Max. When my grandmother and I did the dishes, we would watch him running around the yard, chasing squirrels and ducks and just being a dork. If he spotted us, he would dash over and jump up, trying to see in the kitchen window. My grandma would laugh and say "Max McBoing Boing!" As a kid, that tickled me to no end, and it still gives me the giggles to think about that silly dog's face appearing in the window for a split second and my grandma cracking up. 

My dogs (present, past, and future) will forever carry the surname McBoingBoing in honor of Max and my gma. 

When your dog is with me, she is an honorary McBoingBoing and will be treated as such <3
