Trail Dog Etiquette LLC

We went to Samuel to work on one specific issue: our dog refused to get into the car unless we lifted him. Samuel gave us practical strategies that were easy to follow, and within just four lessons, our dog was jumping into the car with a single command. Samuel was knowledgeable, patient, and great to work with. Our dog looked forward to training every week, and we couldn't be happier with the results. We highly recommend Samuel to anyone looking for an effective dog trainer.

Sam is an absolute dog whisperer. We adopted a pittie puppy after our 14 year old dog passed I forgot everything I once knew about training a stubborn pup. Sam was patient with Ophelia and me, never judged her breed or treated her any different from other breeds he trains, and made sure to take the way I learn into account when tailoring his trainings. Having gone from a reactive bait dog to a puppy who loves everyone and every dog he helped me overcome previous fears, feel in control when walking my dog both on the trail and in city environments and even allowed us to incorporate our border collie into Ophelia’s trainings knowing I would be walking both at times. We will continue to work with Sam on tuneups and Ophelia loved and trusted him from day one. Seriously , just book the session! Sam is one of a kind and I am so grateful to have him in our area training pups.

I can’t recommend Sam highly enough. I worked with him over a number of training sessions to address my dog’s reactivity, recall, and several other behavioral issues. From the very beginning, Sam was patient, knowledgeable, and took the time to understand both my dog and the challenges we were facing. His training methods were clear, practical, and easy to follow, and he explained not only what to do, but why it worked. The results exceeded my expectations. Every issue we set out to resolve was successfully addressed, and my dog is now calmer, more responsive, and a pleasure to take out. The improvement has been remarkable, and I genuinely couldn’t be happier with the outcome. If you’re looking for a skilled, professional dog trainer who delivers real, lasting results, I would thoroughly recommend Sam without hesitation.
