Hi, I’m Sam (she/her)!
I help dogs and their pet parents enjoy positive, effective, and rewarding training that fits real life.
I’ve been training dogs and volunteering with animal shelters and rescues since childhood, building more than 25 years of hands-on experience. I am a Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA) and hold degrees in Biology and Education.
My Approach
My training philosophy has been shaped by decades of experience, a love of behavioral science, and several influential dogs in my life, including Bailey, Socks, and Ollie. Each of them has played a role in how I understand learning, behavior, and the human–dog relationship today.
