    I had the pleasure of working with Sam in 2010 after rescuing my dog Daisy off of the street. She quickly observed the struggles we were having and taught me how to communicate in a way my dog could understand. Before our training, Daisy was fearful of my husband, wouldn't walk on a leash or up the driveway, and was fearful of the car. We saw results immediately. Within the first appointment, I was confidentally leading Daisy on leash walks. During the second appointment, Daisy was jumping into the backseat of my car. We met at a public park for our third appointment and allowed Daisy to greet other dogs. I have continued to call on Sam since then for help with our other dogs. I'm so grateful for the confidence she helped instill in all of us. I highly recommend her services.

    I can't say enough good things about our experience with Sam. She came to our home to help us with training our 5 month old goldendoodle. Her expertise along with the tools she provided us with worked like magic on our dog. He no longer jumps at people when first meeting them, he no longer jumps on the couch, and he comes consistently when told to come. All of these issues were addressed and fixed with only 2 training sessions. Because of Sam we have an incredibly well trained puppy at only 6 months old.

    Sam is a great trainer. It is a shame that one or two listings in Google are so prominent, because in reality she is one of the most sought after trainers in AZ. As the Executive Director of Desert Harbor Doberman Rescue, we work with Sam in two capacities.
    1. She was highly recommended by many other rescues, and also other trainers. One other trainer told us "she is the only trainer in AZ that I would ever recommend."
    2. She is well known for her training courses and seminars, we see this as the gold standard and send our volunteers through her programs.

    Sam came to our home to help with both of our dogs and their completely separate issues. The thing I value the most in working with Sam is her dedication to really sit with us and diagnose the true problems. From there she used simple steps to fix the issues. We have tried both treat training and clicker training and never found those to be long term successful. Sam promotes positive reinforcement and repetition training. Just after a few sessions with Sam we, as well as our friends coming to our home have noticed a vast improvement in both dogs! I Highly recommend Sam for any of your dog training concerns!
