Dog Trainer and Experienced Handler

I'm a certified dog trainer with hands on experience across all sizes, breeds, and temperaments, including reactive dogs. I've owned and cared for many dogs throughout my life, from small (20 lbs) up to large breeds (130 lbs) such as Cane Corso, Doberman, Pitbull, Lab, Maltese, and mixes. I am also CPR and Stop the Bleed certified, so your dog's safety is always top priority. Whether your dog is easygoing or needs a more experienced handler, I bring patience, skill, and confidence to give them a great visit.

Safety, trust & environment

Whether I am doing a drop in visit, walk or a training session, I treat your dog and home with the same care and respect I'd want for my own. As a certified dog trainer, I'm experienced with all breeds and temperaments, including reactive dogs. I stay fully attentive, follow your dog's routine, and communicate clearly so you always know how your pup is doing. Being CPR and Stop the Bleed certified, I'm prepared for any situation, and your dog's safety and comfort are my top priority.

Dog Walking • Sep 21, 2026

Sam was great with Emmett! He took extra care dealing with Emmett's blindness and provided an opportunity for Emmett to get some enrichment time in the middle of the day with a neighborhood walk.

Drop-In Visits • Aug 13, 2026

Sam visited our pups on a long day and the pups seemed to really love seeing a friend! There was lots of pets and cuddles and playing, and the photos Sam shared showed our dogs having a grand old time during his visit. We’re so grateful for Sam!

Schedule

I work part-time as a dog trainer and have availability for Monday through Friday until 3:00 PM, and on Sundays after 12:00 PM. Pet care fits well into my routine as I'm already working with dogs most days. I can usually accommodate next-day requests and sometimes same-day requests depending on my training schedule.
