Sarah Fisher’s Free Work protocol is something I suggest to pretty much ever single one of my clients. From puppies to reactive dogs, and even in scentwork to build independence.
Such an inspiration, I found myself sharing most of her views and observations even before knowing her work, and for that i appreciated her work even more!
The dog training world has lost a great one, but her legacy will leave on

Some people change an industry not by being the loudest voice but by changing what everyone looks for.
Sarah Fisher did exactly this. We are devastated to hear she has passed 💔
Sarah taught us to notice the quiet things: posture, breath, tension, hesitation, curiosity. She reminded us that behaviour is communication, and that dogs need safety and agency before they can learn well.
Through ACE and previously through TTouch, Sarah’s influence reached far beyond dog training and into rescue, vet teams, grooming, therapy support, and everyday homes. Her work helped dogs feel safe enough to engage with the world, and helped humans become calmer, kinder observers.
Thinking of Sarah’s loved ones today and of the many people grieving across our community.
If you’re able, honour her by practicing what she modelled: slow down, watch, and let the dog lead ❤️
