My name is Sarah Gill and I am a professional service dog trainer and handler. I entered the world of professional service dog training after being in a car accident. As a result, I was confined to a wheelchair for almost two years trying to maneuver in a house that wasn’t designed for it. I was never expected to walk again.

This opened my eyes and became a driving force behind pushing myself to defy the odds. The moment I regained some stability, I attended a dog training school to learn how to train service dogs. I completed my Master Trainer Certification and gained further experience by training new trainers. However, the school wasn’t accommodating to those with physical difficulties and PTSD. Hence, I moved home to Dallas.

I started this journey because I had a trained dog to mitigate my disabilities, but needed additional tasking for a new diagnosis. The only option I could find was getting a second dog for the new diagnosis. I knew there had to be a different way to address this. I wanted to change the ways of service dog training.
