Owner name & dog's nameHi, I'm Sam
I've trained dogs in Bergen County for 12 years, from 8-week-old puppies to shelter dogs nobody else would take on. My own dog, Pepper, was the reason I started.
I believe every dog can learn, and every owner can learn to teach them. My job is to make that easy.

Questions
How many lessons will my dog need?
Most families see a big change in 3 to 4 lessons. We'll give you an honest estimate after the first one.
Is my dog too old to learn?
Never. Older dogs often learn faster than puppies, because they can focus for longer.
Can you help with aggression?
Yes, with care. We'll start with a private assessment, and if your dog needs a vet behaviorist, we'll tell you.
Where does my dog stay during board & train?
In our home, as part of the family, never in a kennel. You get photos and videos every day.
How do I pay?
Card, Zelle or Venmo. Packages are paid at the first lesson.
