Meet Sammy

One paw at a time.

I was born and raised in Arizona, and I’ve always loved dogs and being outdoors. Put the two together and that’s pretty much my perfect day.

Training started for me with my own pup, Lucy. She was born into an extremely stressful and unsafe environment, leading me to rescue her at just 10 days old. She didn’t experience necessary socialization between her and her littermates, which ultimately led to severe reactivity, aggression, and anxiety. Working with her taught me patience, understanding, and how much clear communication really matters. Today, Lucy is friendly, social, and can tag along anywhere I go in a calm and confident manner!

Lucy is the reason I do this. Now I get to help other owners build that same kind of connection with their dogs. My focus is on trust, and on helping families and their dogs build a relationship that lasts, one paw at a time.
