I have an 8 month Olde English Bulldogge bitch.
I am in awe of the way Sam has this unique talent to interact with the pup.
He is amazing. On our first outdoor session he had my Bonnie walking so calm and happy. This is an energetic pup who loves to go zoomies, but Sam had her so calm on the lead, most importantly she enjoyed every moment of the training session. Sam i hope you are very proud of yourself as you are an amazing trainer who has the ability to get the best out of my dog in such a fun happy way. Thank you so much and I'm looking forward to the future sessions with you.

Sam is absolutely amazing with our dog Kobi. He not only has a fantastic knowledge about dogs but he’s also super caring and treats Kobi like he’s his own. We couldn’t ask for a better person to be working with Kobi. More...

Sam helped me with my working Sprocker. He had the tough job of undoing my training, and redoing what was needed. Gunner really struggled with anxiety and listening under stresswhen on a walk. Sam managed to bring back trust and now my boy and I have a bond that keeps us both safe and content. This breed is so complex and I know the journey isn't over... I wouldn't go anywhere else, I know I'm in safe hands. More...

I’ve been lucky enough to witness the work Sam does with dogs - he’s a miracle worker as-well as a genuinely lovely guy to deal with.

Sam is just brilliant! He is the Harry Potter of the dog world. Even after two sessions we have noticed a positive difference in our very excitable puppy. Sam is extremely personable and very knowledgeable, everything he says just makes sense. His advice, care and commitment is second to none. I highly recommend Sam, you won’t be disappointed! More...

If you need someone who you can trust to not only train your dog but look after them like it’s one of his own then Sam is your guy! He has looked after our spaniel on several occasions and helped us with lots of training when she was a puppy. He is calm and assertive with the dogs and I feel confident in all of his advice. Our dog comes home relaxed and calm after a stimulating day of training! Can’t recommend him highly enough! More...

Sam has turned my little man from a steam train pulling and hard to control on the lead . I am now able to take him on a walk and it’s a pleasure because he walks so nicely now. I have total trust in Sam

Sam has just started walking our dog and wow, he is amazing. Our GSD listens to his every word and 100% respects him. Sam doesn’t just walk him, he trains him alongside the walking and is already making such a difference in his behaviour. I’m so glad Sam came into our lives and would highly recommend him to anyone. Thx Sam for everything x More...

Sam often takes care of our sprocker and we honestly can't recommend him enough. He'll often have her for the day or if we go away on holiday and she always comes back happy, clean and well loved. He sends us pictures and videos and keep us in the loop of training he does with her. He really helped us when she became possessive with food and gave us brilliant advice which helped us resolve the issue completely. Sam's the only one we trust with her now and feel completely at ease leaving her with him. More...

Sam is your man if you want structured walks and/or training. He certainly knows what he is doing and my German shepherd not only loves him but totally respects him! Sam is completely trustworthy, reliable and knows exactly what he is doing with all breeds of dogs! I have no doubt in recommending him 🐾🐕🦴 More...
