Valor K9 Academy

My wife and I enrolled our 2-3/4 year old yellow lab for a 6 week dual course of agility followed by obedience training. Although quite an intense schedule, Samantha made the experience entirely user friendly. She was very well focused at delivering sound training advice and taught us all the techniques necessary to train and improve our dog’s agility and obedience. We noticed steady improvement weekly and utilized all the training techniques in homework assignments she gave us to follow. She was always willing and available to help with our assignments and provided personal instruction when needed. The group dynamics with many participants was also fun and made the class less stressful. She provides top-notch training! I recommend Samantha without hesitation and will enroll in many more courses she offers. The curriculum is extensive so as to stimulate future skills for our dog. We’re entirely pleased with our experience.

Samantha is outstanding! She brings equal parts heart and firmness to her training, so we never felt our dog would be unhappy in her board & train. Samantha is very accommodating when you have questions or need some peace of mind about anything from training policies to photos of your dog while she's away. Coco came home happy, knew all commands, and even learned how to stay calm and quiet in her kennel. This was a success!

My dog’s trainer was Taya and she is absolutely amazing. I have a 6 month old border collie named Ozzie and after a 2 week board and train with Taya, his heel, sit and down were almost completely mastered. I couldn’t have done that myself. She was really kind and gave great explanations of everything my dog was learning during that training session. Taya is a great dog trainer with a lot of knowledge. I would definitely recommend her as a dog trainer for anyone looking to train their dog. She is an incredible trainer and I’m glad she trained my dog.
