Dog trainer in-training

Pet care experience

I have been around dogs my whole life and absolutely adore them. I have experience training puppies, adult dogs, and dogs who struggle with aggression. I understand that animals have boundaries, and am always willing to work with ANY type of animal. I am an aspiring dog trainer and could always use the practice, so let me know if there’s anything you’d like me to work on with your pup. I don’t mind a challenge! I can also offer up any training advice tailored to your dog if you wish.

Sam was extremely communicative and clearly had Lu’s best interests at heart. Lu is an energetic and at times a very anxious dog and Sam handled that with grace - I would recommend Sam to anyone.

I have experience crating dogs and understand that some pets simply do not like their crates. I am happy to follow any instructions and requests given and will always provide a safe and happy environment for your animal. Have more than one pet? Even better!

Information Sam W. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any allergies, behavioral needs, medical needs, or anything else you think I should know. I am able to adapt to their usual schedule of feeding and walking.

A typical day

I live right by Patterson Park, so exercising your dog will be easy and enjoyable. I will be happy to play with your pup, feed them, brush them, and any other requests you may have.

My work is flexible, so I can be available at any time Friday-Monday, and any time before 10 and after 3pm TWTh. My work is a short walk away from my home, so if anything needs to happen last minute, I can often be made available.
