Meet Sam

I don't believe every dog needs the same answer.

I believe every dog deserves to be understood.

Work with me

What that actually looks like

I teach dogs what to do
Not what not to do.

Mistakes are information
Not something to punish.

Behaviour happens for a reason
We look for it.

Real life comes first
Training should work outside class.

Every dog is different
So every plan is too.

Dogs don’t live in
training halls.
They live in your
house, your car,
your walks and
your everyday life.

What matters to me

  • Kindness.

  • Curiosity.

  • Evidence.

  • Individual plans.

  • Understanding behaviour before changing it.

Every dog has a different history.
Different genetics.
Different experiences.

Training should reflect that.

Why I work this way

Every recommendation I make is grounded in education, experience and evidence.

“The big difference with Sam is she asks what you want and tailors the training to how she sees you work with the dog. Her approach is all about positive reinforcement.”
