Kentucky Dog Training LLC

We are the lucky people who have the pleasure of giving Dream Dog Hatch his forever home as my daughter’s service dog. Sam did an awesome job training him- we got compliments on his manners from their first outing and every one since. Just as important as training him was the continuous work Sam does to train us as handlers. She is very responsive and is so clearly invested in their long term success as a team. Her love for the dogs and what she does was evident from our first conversation. Highly recommend and I’ll go back to Sam if/when I’m ready for another pup.

I reached out to sam for help with my GSD, and she delivered! she was very responsive when scheduling his drop off, and when he was at her house she sent me plenty of photos and videos! he was struggling with counter surfing, leash pulling, not being able to focus around other dogs, and a few other smaller things and now that he’s home, he hasn’t attempted to get on the counter once, walks perfectly in a loose leash heel, and most importantly can ignore dogs on walks! he also had some issues bothering my older chihuahua and cat, and is doing a great job respecting their space. Sam is overall a great person and trainer, and i definitely don’t regret choosing her services!

Sam was an absolute hero to our dog Fozzy. Fozzy is a 3 year old mini golden doodle who was our dream dog when we brought him home but quickly became protective of the household members (not only against strangers but also between each other). He didn’t like strangers petting him and would growl, snarl, and bite any humans or dogs who tried to befriend him. We felt hopeless and had tried a few training sessions locally with little to no improvement. When a friend recommended Sam it was a tough decision being that we lived in PA and would be sending him to Kentucky for a whole month. While contacting Sam to set things up I was describing Fozzy’s behaviors which felt embarrassing and like we were poor dog parents but she never made me feel judged. She gave great explanations as to why the behaviors can happen. She is extremely knowledgeable and professional in her field. In talking to her we knew she was the right choice and was so great with Fozzy right from pickup. She understood our sadness and worry of sending him away but eased our mind with frequent pictures, videos, and updates. He made leaps and bounds while he was with her and upon his return she taught us humans how to rise to the level of training he had been taught. He was like a whole new dog in his behaviors both at home and in public. Fozzy was sad to see her go but we find comfort in knowing she is always there for us in our training journey and we look forward to working with her again in the future!
