Blackhawk K-9

I was a little scared of the 5 week training commitment, but I am very glad that I went ahead with it. Grizz was a somewhat obedient dog, sort of listened, but also sort of ignored me. Now he is able to actively wait and listen to my commands. Sam was excellent at communicating throughout Grizz’s 5 week stay with her! And Sam was able to work with our schedule so while we are on vacation, our dog was also getting trained! I would give 10 stars if I could.

Our sweet boy Max had been through puppy training but somewhere along the way he developed a terrible fear of the car and was a nightmare on walks (hes 100lbs and only a year old). Our previous trainer wasn't able to help so we began to look elsewhere to help him with his absolute fear of the car and leash walking. We found Sam and through his BNT time with her, he not only got through his fear, he came home a confident, happy and obedient dog that we can actually take for a walk instead of him dragging us along the way. We watched her in action with him and she knew exactly how to tailor her trainings to him for successful outcomes. We can never thank her enough for taking him on and taking the time to help him through his fears and clean up his house manners while also taking him out and about to expose him to other dogs and environments. Sam treated him like one of her own for the time that he was with her and was just as excited when max conquered his fear as we were. Yes, the BNT is a financial commitment 100% and I waffled on it too, but now seeing how far he has come has been amazing and has opened so many doors for him in our family adventures that we didn't think would be possible.

I first met Sam when we were in Desperate need to train our sweet Bingo. At our initial meeting Sam was able to read Bingo properly and gave us all the information we needed to help us commit to BNT which was the best decision ever. Bingo spent 5 weeks working with Sam and was completely transformed from the when he first met her. I love that we are able to stay in contact with Sam and she is always willing to listen and give me advice with how Bingo is doing. Sam has a passion for K9’s and this is seen through her work with them.
