Sarah Tripp White is a professional dog trainer serving St. Pete, FL and surrounding areas. Sarah formerly served as Vice President of The National Association of Dog Obedience Instructors (NADOI), and was a NADOI Certified trainer from 2016-2024 before semi-retiring in 2025. NADOI is the oldest certifying association in the country, requiring one of the most rigorous instructor tests in the USA.
She began working with dogs in 2007 as a volunteer family dog trainer and group class instructor for a major local shelter in the Tampa Bay area after graduating from their intensive training program. In the summer of 2008 Sarah was asked to manage and serve as head trainer for a large established dog day care and obedience training facility in Pinellas County, FL. Within months she was asked to partner in the business and eventually took over as sole owner-operator of the St Petersburg location in 2009. From the start Sarah established a reputation for reliability, safety, cleanliness and supervision with successful dog training programs and a focus on customer service. These standards propelled the facility into a top spot among the most reliable and desirable day care and training establishments in Pinellas County while under her care. Sarah sold the business in 2012 to down-size and devote her self full time to her passion for private dog training. She is now owner and head trainer of Tripp’s Dog Training St. Pete.
Owning and acting as owner- operator of a full service day care and training facility for five years afforded Sarah a level of hands on experience with canine group management and obedience training that has become invaluable to the success of her training programs.
