SAMS is amazing! They focus on building a relationship with your dog - there's no forcing your dog or shortcuts or tricks to induce behavior. I started there with a very fearful rescue and they have helped me develop him into a confident dog who trusts me. And they have the skills for everything from basic obedience to competitive dog sports - anything you want to do, they can support. If you don't see what you're looking for, just reach out to them and ask. I've been to 4 trainers in the area and SAMS is who I'm sticking with.

I can not give SAMS enough starzzz! To start they keep classes small so it is like personal training! They are so patient with me and my distracted 8 month old lab! We are both learning sooo much! We have done one on one training as well and we have overcome challenges! They have a lovely outdoor space to use as well. Max can get great exercise and learnimg experiences without worry! We will continue with all of the training we can with SAMS! Next stop...field trip to Home Depot! To be continued haha...
Btw...We have worked mainly with Kate and Janell and I can not say enough about them! They are amazing!

Both of my dogs have taken multiple classes at S.A.M.S. and they love them! They are so excited when we pull up to the building, they cannot wait to get inside. Lots of fun skills including tricks, agility, scent work, and more. They love the trainers (Madison, Kate, and Janelle) and have learned so much. Looking forward to more fun and more learning to come!
