Calm Leadership. Reliable Dogs.
Training that builds trust.
Most of my clients have already tried something, such as group classes, private training, or online programs. The reason most training fails is because it misses building the foundations. Dog training is not just about sits and downs, it goes much deeper than that. It's about the relationship between you and your dog. My biggest focus is on repairing damaged relationships between dogs and owners. When dog and owner understand and trust each other, training is quick and effective.
When we brought our puppy Pippa home from a rescue situation in Brooklyn NY, she had experienced a difficult early life… Our sessions with Sam have been very successful and Sam’s dog Luca, who he has trained as a service dog, has also helped us, especially with working on reactivity with other dogs on leash.

"Sam has a way with dogs that goes beyond commands. It’s a quiet understanding, a bond built on trust."

"Sam really listens. He focused on our dog's aggression and excessive barking in the home. His plan for change was clear and effective. We saw a dramatic improvement fairly quickly."
