Meet The Team

Owner and Trainer Of Sarah's Courteous Canine LLC
Sarah Frohock
My name is Sarah Frohock. I've been a dog lover my entire life. As a young child, my first thought was to be a Veterinarian, but that was because I had no idea the job as Dog Trainer existed.
My first involvement with training started over 15 years ago when my dog Nacoma showed some major behavior issues. I worked with a trainer to help him become a better dog and for me to become a MUCH better owner!
From there my love of dog training evolved. I read every book I could and was certified as a Dog Trainer by Mike Robertson of Plymouth, NH. I continue my experience and growth by attending seminars and working with my students.
My love for training had evolved even further with the love of Dog Sports. I love competition and I love the teamwork and relationship you build by working with your best friend.
I love spending time with my favorite Human Marco and our 6 dogs, and 2 cats.

E-Collar and Scent Work Trainer
Emily Skelley
Emily Skelley is the proud owner of a 4-year-old German Shepherd named Belly. She has been with SCC for three years, starting by shadowing Sarah across all her classes. Over time, Emily discovered a passion for teaching owners how to effectively use e-collars. She finds fulfillment in witnessing the transformation of both dogs and their handlers, as she watches their confidence soar and the bond between them deepen.
Outside of training, Emily serves as the office manager at Doran Independent Insurance in Wolfeboro. In her free time, she enjoys competing with Belly in Rally, Obedience, and Agility, and when they’re not in the ring, you can often find them swimming and enjoying boat rides on the lake during the summer months.

My name is Kira and I’ve been an animal lover since I was little. I went to the University of Connecticut where I graduated with a degree in animal science with an equine minor. Go Huskies! After college I worked as a vet tech for 12 years, including emergency medicine. My canine interests include rally, agility, trick dog, and herding. When I’m not teaching Canine Good Citizen or running the day train program you can find me competing in rally or agility, paddle boarding, and adventuring with my pup Yeti.

My name is Missy and I'll be teaching puppy Preschool and you will see me occasionally in the kennel!

I've been training with Sarah and Emily for a few years now mostly with Bergy. I worked in vet med for four years and now work at an aluminum trailer manufacturer, Proline Products. I'm a huge animal lover but my heart is in giving dogs a voice and wanting to see them succeed. I enjoy beach trips with the pups, hiking, gardening, anything outside really, and spending time with family! I look forward to meeting everyone and their new babies who come to puppy Preschool! It's gonna be a blast!

Star King
Hi everyone! My name is Starr. I graduated for UNH in 2021 with an Associates Degree in Veterinary Technology and worked in a veterinary hospital for the past five years. During my time in the animal medical field, I noticed there was a need for puppy education and exposure for new puppies in our community.
I currently ave two Australian Cattle Dogs (Millie and Kahlúa), a Labrador Retriever (Jager), two Siberian Huskies (Keeda and Effina “Effie”) and a Chihuahua (Leo)! You’ll often find me adventuring with my pack through hiking, dog events and so much more!
I look forward to meeting new puppies and their owner and help them navigate puppyhood!

Kennel Help
Izzy Brownell
Hi! My name is Izzy! I’ve had dogs my whole life and have always loved being around animals. Last year, I adopted a Walker Hound of my own, which has been such a fun experience. I’ve also been around horses for over 10 years, so I have lots of experience caring for animals. When I’m not working, I’m attending UNH! I love getting to spend time with animals and making sure every dog feels happy, safe, and loved while they’re here.

Basic Obedience, CGC, CGC Evaluator, Outdoor Pack Adventure Trainer
Cassandra Brown
Hey everyone! I wanted to introduce myself, Im Cassandra Brown, and Ive been working with Sarah and her team for over a year now!
I have worked with animals for over the past decade- starting off in a bigger chain doggy daycare, then moving onto my own business for the last 9 years. I currently own six dogs and a snake! I have attended a number of basic obedience, rally and agility classes over the years, but the bulk of my one on one training experience has been with my heeler and terrier at SCC. When I’m not working with dogs, I love hiking, completing my social work degree and playing Magic the Gathering.

Kennel Staff and Apprentice Groomer
Katie Dearborn
My name is Katie Dearborn, and I’m excited to announce that I will be beginning grooming services and you will also see me in the kennel!
I have been a dog lover my entire life. Beginning when I was a little girl tagging along with my dad when he would compete in dog trials. Then, when I was still in high school I pursued becoming a junior handler through NAVDHA and brought home Maverick, my German Wirehaired pointer, and that’s also when I started training with Sarah. Since then I have also welcomed two English Labs, Weston and Mabel.
Outside of SCC, I am also an LNA at a local nursing home which will always hold a special place in my heart. I am also a mom to a beautiful little girl, who loves dogs just as much as me!
I’m super excited to start this journey and work with you all and your pups!
