Five Lakes Dog Training

Highly recommended! Sami is a professional and knows what she is doing. She did an amazing job with our Bernadoodle puppy. We did the board and train, our dog took longer than normal and Sami made sure to keep him until he was fully trained and ready to come home. Life changing experiance for the dog and our family! Forever grateful and will definitely be utilizing the available boarding when needed. Thank you!

Invest in your family's relationship with your dog. The Brown family highly recommends Five Lakes Dog Training. Sami completely transformed our gentle but stubborn 1.5 yr old Bluetick Coonhound. He's like a young college graduate back home with smarts, impulse control and a bit less attitude 😉 He's the same goofy guy but content and confident. He is so happy (and we are beside ourselves) that he can handle being off leash. People in our community are so impressed with his bulletproof recall and ability to "place" at the park to chill and watch the passersby (shocking!) The vibe in our home is so much more peaceful and in control. Sami is completely committed to her craft and is more than willing to generously share her knowledge of how the K9 mind works. We have learned so much from her. After having our pup several weeks (she's thorough) she delivered him back home and gave our entire family (me, my husband, 9yr old, 8yr old and 4yr old) a fun and informative, full spectrum training session. I could keep going on and on ....but in short- you WILL NOT REGRET investing in this life changing decision to EDUCATE your dog and yourself.... You owe it to yourself and your dog.

If I could give Sami more stars, I would!!! We have 2 German Shepherd littermate brothers. Having 2 at the same time and brothers is not easy. They were literally out of control and starting to fight with each other. We were at a point of desperation. We were referred to Sami and she listened to our issues and with a sincere concern for our situation, she was able to come pick them up that same week. She had them for 18 days but it was so worth it. When she brought them back home they were actually obedient. She trained them and genuinely cares for their success, wellbeing and confidence. Our house is peaceful now and we can enjoy their companionship because we're not always stressed and frustrated with their behavior. I could write a novel on our positive experience. Thank you Sami SO much! you saved our boys and you restored the peace and love back into our home. Update 2/23/25: Sami has been a true blessing to my entire family. Almost a year later after my boys initial training and she is always there to help. I take my boys to her for daycare now and and baths. We have had emergency family situations come up and she is there to help with the boys with a simple text. I now tell Zeus and Bailey they're going to aunt Sami's and they get excited when we get close to her daycare. She is the reason we were able to keep both Zeus and Bailey and she continues to be a blessing and helper every where we turn. I can't say enough good things about her!!!

We heard about Sami through two close family friends that had taken their older rescue dogs for training. Sami took our disobedient 9 month hound rescue and totally transform the little man. With some owner training, she was able to completely change his attitude at home. He came back with less biting/barking/jumping and many new commands (come, down, heel, off, hush, place, wait). Now he's way more fun to be around, and knows the responsibilities that come along with his paycheck :)
