Hi, I'm Sarina, your host!

 

When I'm not teaching my own pets to paddle board or ride motorcycles in Costa Rica, I coach pet parents all over the world, support local animal rescue organizations, and provide emergency transportation for injured animals to the wildlife rescue center.

 

While following my passion helping pets become well-behaved and brave, I realized my fellow dog trainers are suffering from the same decline in mental health faced by our clients. So I created Pura Vida Pup relaxation retreats for canine professionals to prevent burnout and relieve stress.

​

By nurturing dog pros of all backgrounds with a revitalizing experience in nature and a supportive environment, I hope to contribute to a stronger, more cohesive community of people dedicated to improving the lives of dogs - and the people who love them.
