Would 100% recommend. From the very first session with Sam we saw a huge improvement with “Mr Bowie” well worth the investment in our furry family member!

My rescue German Shepherd was nervous and very reactive. This was the best investment I have ever made. Not only are Sam's training techniques gentle and very effective, but his coaching of the owner/handler were right on point and tailored to the dog and owner. I realized a lot of my dog's problems were caused by me and were correctable. It is real world training, highly effective and successful. Can't recommend this business enough!

Sam is absolutely fabulous! We were struggling with our 80 pound Rottweiler pit bull mix and now we are living our best life with him. I used to have anxiety walking in my neighborhood. Leash pulling. Barking and pulling toward people and dogs. And now we can go to Kiva beach on it's busiest day and he is the least reactive dog there. Completely changed our lives and our dog Korben life. Also highly recommend the Garmin collar. We waited to get it and I wish we would have gotten it day one!
Sam was seriously terrific knows dogs like the back of the hand would recommend him over and over again if you have a dog then he’s training Sam is your man
Sam was great! We were completely overwhelmed with our super reactive dog. We saw so much progress in the first few lessons it was so amazing to see our dog go from complete meltdowns to hanging out with her dog friends! Would definitely recommend to anyone who has a dog with reactivity issues.
