K9 Sam Dog Training

In one session our Maddie 10 months is walking and following directions. So happy we went this route to help our Golden!

There was a sudden big improvement with my puppy after 1 hour which surprised me. 👍

My trainer visiting me at home to work with my dog was better than prompt. He was fifteen minutes early. He worked with my dog one on one for thirty minutes then gave me a ring.
The reason I reached out to a trainer is because of how powerful the pull on the leash my dog had when walking and when she saw another dog or cat. I had reservations when he had me order a “ prong collar” but the device does not compromise the skin but mimics the “ pinch” the mother dog would use for correction.
At the end of one hour I had my dog walking beside me with slack on the leash. I am assured that the prong collar would only be needed until the needed collaborative behavior becomes more conditioned. I plan to return to the martingale type collar after conditioning is achieved . I found the trainer Sam Laufer easy to communicate and work with. More...

Great training! Got her ready to take on vaca in just a few weeks

We have a 5 month old male Irishdoodle and a 1 year old female mini goldendoodle.. Walks and visitors to our house had become a problem. With only 3 visits from Sam, they are much better behaved. The female is an anxious dog, Sam helped with calming her anxiety. More...

Sam did an awesome job. He didn’t let Daisy get away with things like I would. Having him back again next wk.

Sam changed our misbehaving black lab the first day he came to train him! Our Maverick is a year old and had regressed in his behavior over the last few months when our kids went back to school and no one was home during the day anymore. Maverick was having frequent accidents, not listening when called, no longer following commands etc. Sam came over and changed our Maverick back to the loveable dog he used to be! And only after just 3 sessions he was completely trained! We recommend Sam 100%! More...

Sam did a great job with our 10 months old puppy we desperately needed leash training and after a couple of visits our dog was right on point I would recommend Sam to anyone

I hired K9 Sam to work with my golden doodle because the dog was put of control. He would go after people and other dogs he also would jump on everyone. After just 4lessons my dog is a real pleasure to walk. He isn’t perfect but he no longer bothers other dogs or people walking or riding bikes when he sees them and he no longer jumps on guests coming to my house. He listens to commands like heal, sit, stay. Even taking him to the groomer and the vet he is calmer. Sam accomplished what I hired him for and I’m so happy with the results. More...

Sam gets it done. I talked with Sam about 7 weeks ago after I was having problems with my dog that was too much for me to handle. I liked the price that Sam charged but also his drive and confidence that after he was done with him, my dog Milo would be like a new dog. I am more than impressed and can say that yes, he is like a new dog. It’s a night and day difference and that’s all thanks to Sam. Couldn’t have done it without him. On top of everything, I live an hour away from Sam and he would communicate well and arrive EARLY every time because he was that eager to see Milo perform better than he did the time before. Thank you, Sam!!!! More...

Sam was the greatest. My dog is well trained. She will be certified therapy dog. Takes awhile on a small dog. She is now off leash . Thank you Sam

Very nice , provided great information , answered questions , thanks

Sam is wonderful ! The best trainer ever!

Sam was a wonderful handler. My Otis was an older puppy that had
Bad habits. Sam came into the picture on the very first session there was remarkable change. My Otis loves him. Sam was professional, caring, and explained process in training to us. Recommend Sam for your furry baby. More...

K9 Sam was such a blessing to our family and our puppy Maxine. Maxine is a hyper golden retriever with energy and environmental anxiety. We could not walk her because she would pull in her leash and run back and forth in front of us. She was a huge tripping hazard. She would not follow basic commands and was exhausting! Sam was magic! He was gentle, attentive and consistent in his response to Maxine. After about 6 sessions she is a manageable pup who now follows commands and walks on a loose leash. She has become a loving and manageable family member that has enormous potential. Watching Sam lovingly teach her boundaries and behavioral expectations was a beautiful experience! We highly recommend Sam and Maxine agrees! More...

After I got a new puppy that I realized was very reactive to dogs people bikes cars inanimate objects , I decided I needed a trainer to make her safe to be out in public . After a few short lessons with Sam, Zara is more confident and in control of her fears . She heels and has learned to ignore distractions . I would recommend him to anyone More...

Thank you so much Theresa , I worked her hard today, you should see a difference, thank you

Sam has been great with my German Shepherd. We started with obedience training at around 9 weeks and began protection training at about 3 months old. She’s 4.5 months old now and she’s doing amazing. My pup is so responsive to commands and her advancement in protection training from week to week is unreal. Sam is absolutely the best and he treats my dog with love and respect and keeps a good command of her. He understands dogs very well and does a great job of teaching me how to be the best owner and dog handler for my girl. Thank you, Sam! More...

Totally confident as a trainer and great with Maxine. She made progress with the first session

First visit today Sam had my dog Sonny coming great job Sam

Sam has done a great job with my 1 yr old Cane Corso, Georgia. Her obedience has improved 100%. I can walk her without her pulling me. He’s done a great job and continues to do a great job with her training. More...

Sam has been a great help for our one year old Aussiedoodle. We noticed his progress with the first session. He has help all in the family to have a safe and enjoyable space with our dog. Sam is very responsible, respectful and knowledgeable. We can not thank Sam enough for his help. More...

Sam met our dog today and did great for a first lesson. He was professional and gentle with our Pomchi. The dog was tired but happy. We will see him next week to continue. More...

Sam has been a great help to me and my dog hades! I communicated my needs to him and he told me it would be no problem! While looking for a dog trainer I was scared that I would be taken advantage of financially, and was very skeptical of looking for training here on bark, but working with sam has changed my outlook! I saw instant results just after the first session, I would recommend Sam to anyone! More...

He was great at what he did and made huge progress in just 3 lessons. My doodle is very well behaved and is great at walking on a leash. I would definitely recommend him to any new dog owners. More...

Sam helped me a lot to control my strong and hyper 10 month old boxer with behavior modification and leash walking. Also my pup learned to heel,sit and down Sam’s training. Now I can walk Tobey without him pulling me and at times I try to let go and he doesn’t run away. Thanks Sam for everything. More...

He worked with my boxer with behavior modification and he was great.

Sam is very patient. He knows exactly how to help me and my dog wonton. Wonton has learned so much in just one month of trainings. We will definitely be continuing with K9 Sam! More...

My dog has significantly improved since I have started working with Sam. With one lesson a week my dog had retained so much. He is better on and off leash with commands when starting out he did not know the basics. Overall seen so much improvement! More...

K9 Sam Dog Training has been such a blessing. I was having issues with my puppy and didn’t know how to handle it all. She is now a totally different dog thanks to Sam. Highly recommend!!!

Sam has our 5 month old Bull Mastiff doing commands I would expect from a dog that's a year old if not older. Well worth the investment.

Sam has been great and accommodating.

I needed a trainer to help me with my 2 new puppies (4 mo. old).
He has been a great help with them learning to heel and also teaching me how to work with them.
He is knowledgeable and conscientious with the dogs.
Very helpful. More...

Thsnk you for the positive review

Sam did a great job of letting us know that our dog was smart and well trained in his commands. His biggest problems were us! !! He gave us great advice on how to fix "us" and we are using his suggestions...and they are basically working well. More...

Thank you so much , and i am here to help you

I was very impressed with K9 Sam. He really worked our 5 month old pup Coco perfectly. This morning I was amazed she retained what Sam taught her yesterday when I took her outside to walk. We have another training session next week. Looking forward to having a well behaved puppy in the future. More...

I have worked with Sam for 9 sessions, look at my dog Bru , tremendous results , better then all the dogs that are sent away at the park where we train, one on one is the best advantage for your dog to get the best customized results
