Sam Has trained with some of the most respected names in the industry around the world, frequently attending seminars and events to keep up to date with modern dog training.
“I have always chosen the path of experience, over theory, what actually works for this particular dog.
I have worked with many different behaviours and temperaments. Working with dogs has been my passion. I now realise that its not everyone else’s, so I’m happy to help share the load. It’s a lot of work raising and maintaining a happy healthy dog.”
