About Us

I’m Sally, the founder of Sal’s Pet Pals. I left my job as a secondary school teacher and pursued my dream of becoming a dog trainer.

After completing my training with Will Atherton, I set up Sal’s Pet Pals to help improve the lives of owners
and their dogs by instilling the knowledge and confidence they need to be calm and loving
leaders for their canine companions.

We share Will Atherton’s mission to keep dogs out of
shelters and off the euthanasia table.

I’m Polly. I’m Sally’s wife and I balance my time between my day job and helping at SPP (almost as well as I balance on the Paddleboard).

We open our home to every SPP dog and welcome them like one of our own.
