Dog trainer and sitter🐶

Pet care experience

Hello there👋 While I know there is a ton to read on my page, it is worth the time to read and know more about me and how I run things in my home🏡 My name is Samuel, but I go by Sam. I grew up around dogs my entire life and have spent many many years taking care of them. I have always been a huge dog lover🐾 Besides doing dog boarding and doggy daycare, I work for Nelly’s Canine Training which is a small and disabled owned, dog training business! Nelly’s Caine Training is dedicated to offering customized private training, day train, as well as board and training to help elevate the owners relationship with their dog💜 If you are interested in private training, day training, service dog training, or a board and train program please contact me. If you choose to do some training through me I can help you save some money on training!💰. Message me that you would like to use the discount code, ROVERFIND, for a 15% discount on ANY board & train program. I have lots of experience with all varying types of dogs🐾 Large, small, reactive, aggressive, high energy, you name it!

Sam helped me two days in a row with daycare as I have schedule that can change in a matter of minutes! He was super flexible and willing to work with my schedule. It's so great to be able to have someone I can trust to care for my dog. My Great Dane is on the shy side when it comes to people! She took to him right away and absolutely in love with him. She she has some serious high energy and play drive (can out play my friends Malinois) and it can be difficult to keep up with her! Sam does a great job giving her the proper exercise outlet while also giving her proper breaks to make sure she's not over doing it with play as she will literally not stop unless you make her take a break. Sam is an excellent choice for anyone wanting outstanding care!

Sam took great care of my dog! He provided amazing photos and updated me constantly on how my dog was doing. Followed my care instructions perfectly! I love the structure he provides during the dogs stay.

Duke had a great time at daycare today, and was exhausted afterwards per usual! I have had experiences with Sam when Duke was enrolled in training services through Nelly’s Canine Services as he is one of their trainers. I have been nothing but pleased with both Dukes training and his daycare visits with Sam. I recieved lots of quality photos from his daycare visits and am certain Duke had a great time today! Sam was easy to contact and had an extremely fast response time. He was even lenient with me regarding pickup time which I was extremely grateful for! Duke will definitely be back for more daycare visits in the near future. Thank you so much Sam!!

Put my dogs in kennels with no water and left them in an empty room by themselves. They barked nonstop from the stress of the poor environment. They were returned to me in poor form. Barely able to function.

Safety, trust & environment

Your dog will enjoy running around the fenced in backyard or playing on the long leash in the front yard with other dogs🐶 I love playing with other dogs by tossing a ball around or playing tug of war to get out all of the energy🎾 Depending on the dogs I have staying with me and the schedule I have for the day, dogs will be brought to the park down the street on a long leash and spend time playing and hiking through the trails there🌳 On rainy days or bad weather days, dogs will do more inside enrichment activities that are focused around mental stimulation and fulfilling the canine needs sin other ways through frozen lick mats, treat dispensing games, snuffle mats, and fun games🐶 Dogs are ALWAYS allowed to play in the dog room! This room is set up for dogs to play in. Couches are meant to be laid and jumped on, dogs can run through the hall to play indoor fetch, tug of war, and zoomies are welcome in this room🐾

A typical day

I love going on walks and talking dogs to big open areas where we can play fetch and run around. I’m a very active person and don’t enjoy sitting around much so I will constantly be giving your animal love. I do take on board and trains and day trains so you can expect your dog to interact with other dogs

Availability

Since all board and trains and day trains are done in the home of the dog trainer, that means I take my work home with me! One huge perk with that is I am almost always home! This means I am able to work from home and make sure your dog receives so much love and care❤️ On the rare occasion that I am out of the house is when I am taking dogs on training field trips or the occasional private training lesson. When I am out of the home, your dog will be kenneled for safety. Typically no more than 1-2 hours.
