Sam helped us train our GSP pup Pepper and her brother GSP Jasper. Pepper is a wild child but Sam told us in the beginning of training we wouldn’t recognize her after 6 weeks and he was right! I write this as we sit at the local bar with Sam and. celebrate Miss Pepper’s graduation. Sam is the best, cannot recommend him highly enough. He’s patient, intuitive, in touch with their communication and a great all around trainer and now friend.

Sam helped our scared rescue dog gain confidence and she can now go to public spaces without fear. Sam helped set her up with a good foundation for future training!

Five stars for Sam! We worked with Sam for our border collie, and the results have been incredible. Sam successfully corrected her reactivity and trained her to walk perfectly both on and off-leash. She is now well-behaved and calm in public spaces, which has made our outings so much more enjoyable. Highly recommend Sam for anyone looking for an effective and professional dog trainer!

Sam did an amazing job training my dog, Indy. We worked on reactivity and both on- and off-leash skills, and the improvement has been huge. Indy is much calmer, more responsive, and walks are now actually enjoyable. We can even take her with us to busy local spots without worry. …Read full reviewClose full review

Sam did an amazing job training my dog, Indy. We worked on reactivity and both on- and off-leash skills, and the improvement has been huge. Indy is much calmer, more responsive, and walks are now actually enjoyable. We can even take her with us to busy local spots without worry. Sam is knowledgeable, patient, and explains things in a way that’s easy to follow. I feel confident continuing the training on my own. Highly recommend!

We first signed up for Sam's online course (he was traveling South America at the time) and he was kind enough to call us from there when we needed extra help. On his return we signed up for in person lessons and our very reactive dog is a thousand times better around other dogs - yay! Plus we can hike with him off leash now. Couldn't be happier...
