We are accepting New Clients
Are you tired of dealing with your dog's unruly behavior? Are you embarrassed walking your dog because they pull or bark on leash? Afraid to have people over because of your dog? Are you a new puppy owner needing A-to-Z guidance? Are you a busy professional who just needs someone to take care of the initial training for you and show you how to keep it up?
​​
We understand and we've got you covered! Our dedicated team of Certified Professional Dog Trainers is here to help you and your dog unlock the full potential of a loving, savvy, and well-behaved companion.
​
Reach out to us today—chances are, we've already helped many dog owners with the same challenges you're facing! Let’s work together to create lasting change.​​
Sammye's Dogs' employs humane, effective training solutions founded on the latest scientific evidence. Our protocols are designed by highly experienced Certified Professional Dog Trainers to set you and your dog up for success from the start. We are not "balanced" trainers (that sounds like a nice word but they use punishment); we ARE positive reinforcement trainers (we use rewards, see more here).
​
We use a gentle reward-based approach and commonly utilize reinforcers such as treats and toys to teach skills and concepts in game-style ways. We mark desirable behaviors using a "clicker" (sound maker) or our voice with a verbal marker word such as "YES!"
​
In our training, we work together one-on-one tackling training goals through achievable increments. During our sessions, we explain, demonstrate, and coach you through training your dog. Even with Pro Day Training and Board & Train, YOU are included in training and are THE most important key to lifelong success with your dog. We create a training plan, and assign manageable homework in between sessions. We are there for you every step of the way!
​
How do we do it?​
​
1) Teaching and reinforcing desirable behaviors so they will be more likely to occur in the future. Breaking criteria down into achievable steps at the learner's pace leaving little opportunity for errors.
2) Preventing and interrupting undesirable behaviors WITHOUT the intentional use of physical or psychological intimidation or harm.
3) Taking the dog's physical and emotional wellbeing into account.
4) Continuing to educate ourselves as Certified Professional Trainers with the goal of employing humane, effective training based on the latest scientific evidence.
​
The way we train furthers progress through a more compassionate relationship between humans and animals and is void of that nasty stuff like fear, force, pain, or intimidation.
Not okay with generously rewarding your dog using positive reinforcers like food, treats, toys, play, and praise for training? That's NO fun. Please don't book with us! We wouldn't want to listen to you either. *wink*
​
We are experienced in addressing a wide array of training goals and issues from puppy raising, obedience to behavior modification for all breeds, ages, and backgrounds!
Customizable and individually tailored to you and your dog's needs!
Collaborating with an experienced and skilled professional can, in certain instances, determine whether you experience a harmonious life with your dog or face the difficult decision of re-homing or even euthanasia. Even in 2025, navigating the search process can be perplexing. We understand.
​
While dog training is a science, the industry remains unregulated, lacking licensing requirements or regulatory oversight. This absence of standards makes it challenging to discern what criteria to prioritize. We are proud to be transparent about our philosophy, training methods, process, pricing, and our background.
Much like other service-based professions, not all dog trainers are equal. Dog trainers can differ significantly in terms of their methods, philosophies, experience, and overall approach to training. Anybody can call themselves a "dog trainer." "behaviorist," or "behavioral trainer." However, we hold ourselves to the highest degree of ethics and commit to voluntary certification with CCPDT and adhere to current, science-based practices.
​
In short, our 35+ year combined expertise extends to all breeds and ages of dogs commonly described as high-energy, overly excited, easily distracted, impulsive, fearful, stressed, anxious, and reactive. We have trained hundreds of puppies, and upwards of 50 service dogs for individuals with disabilities.
​
We understand it is difficult to know which way to turn with the stakes so high. We get that you must be careful with who you select, and we appreciate you seeking professional training help and your trust in us.
