We have three dogs, all rescues with their own past drama. The newest of the bunch was causing chaos in our house and we desparately needed help. We refused to give up on the new guy, but life was rough (ruff wouldv'e been preferred - ha!). We opted for 5 days of reverse boarding and our trainer was Sammi. She was a great addition to the family for those 5 days. Things aren't perfect - but she helped highlight some of the behaviors we were exhibiting that added to the problem. She also spent time with all three pups to train them some important basics and get them used to taking instruction. There's a lot of hard work ahead of us still, but we have the tools now. I suspect we'll continue the occassional private lesson or training/dog sitting so we keep up the good progress. read more

Karma Dog Training - Shipley, Tommy, and Zeke - Pet Training Near Me - Carrollton, Texas

We have been going to Karma and working with Sammi for a couple months now and our experience has been great. The puppy socialization classes have been amazing for teaching the basics and allowing the pup to make friends and learn to play properly. We also grabbed two reverse board and train packages with Sammi to work on our dogs fear of neighborhood walks, reactivity, and excessive barking. We have made quite a bit of progress with Sammi's help. She has been so helpful increasing our Puppy's confidence and giving us the tools and advice to continue to improve in the areas he has been struggling. The barking indoors is now about 90% under control and his fear outside has improved quite a bit. We still have a bit to go with the little pup but we are continuing to work with Sammi to make this dog a certified good boy. The puppy also adores her and is super excited each time Sammi comes over for a session. Karma dog has been great for us and we will continue to go to their puppy and obedience classes. Give Sammi a massive raise because she deserves it will all her awesome work. read more

Karma Dog Training - Proof of Puppy. - Pet Training Near Me - Carrollton, Texas

I have been a dog owner for over 30 years and have a lot of experience with numerous trainers both good and bad. We recently got a Golden pup and was having challenges with training her. TBH we tried others before we went to Karma Dog with less that satisfactory results. Then we met Sammi with Karma Dog and things just worked from day one. Her knowledge, her demeanor, how she interacted with our pup and how well the pup responded to her was great. I can not say enough for Sammi and to thank her for all her help so far. We are completing puppy training with Karma and plan to move onto basic training after that. The one thing I really love about puppy class is the socialization time they schedule into each class. It really worked wonders for my pup with learning to interact with other pups but also build her own self confidence. BTW, pricing is very fair. Sammi is also available for private sessions which we took advantage. She came out to our home, right on schedule and we worked on specific points we wanted to try to resolve. Sammi was great. I would strongly suggest you give them a try and I feel confident you will like them as much as I do. read more

It's hard to recommend taking Karma's puppy class. It wasn't particularly well run, and the benefit for my puppy was dubious at best. In the several weeks I attended, Karma did nothing to segregate small dogs from big dogs. The big dogs that would attend stretched the definition of what most of us would call a puppy. I would frequently watch, week after week, hyper, large goldendoodles stampede in circles around the room, while terrified, true puppies would cower near the walls. I would greatly warn against bringing a dog that doesn't weigh at least 10 pounds. Your teacup Yorkie is going to pee on the floor in fear. I've seen it happen. The lessons given in puppy class might be useful if you're doing nothing at home to train your dog. The trainers themselves are very kind and are eager to give advice. What I truly wanted out of the class was an opportunity for my puppy to socialize with other puppies, but that hardly ever occurred due to how poorly it was segregated. If you have a big dog, this may be a better class for you than it was for me. read more

I highly recommend Sammi if you are thinking about getting your dog trained. we signed up for 5 private sessions and she helped out tremendously. In those sessions our dog Bleu was potty trained, trained for basic commands like stay/sit/come and we started to work on loose leash walking. Sammi is great at what she does. She not only makes it exciting for the dogs but also us. read more

Karma Dog Training is AMAZING! I can't recommend them enough. We have used them twice to help our new rescue fur babies have a little more manners. Sammi worked wonders with our Greyhound/Shepherd mix, Franco. We knew he was smart but just needed some help in the manners and listening department. We went with the reverse board. Sammi was always on time, polite, engaging with Franco (and Wylie our other pup), and can I say was a miracle worker! She truly has a gift with dogs. If your pup needs a little or a lot of help, you absolutely should go with Sammi and Karma Dog! read more

Love this program!! Definitely worth it!! We have an amstaff puppy. (Very stubborn but very smart) Ki has been amazing and patient with our big guy. We have seen incredible progress in just 4 weeks!! read more

We discovered Karma Dog Training after adopting Bailey, our 4-month-old mini Golden Doodle. My hubby and I quickly signed up for Puppy Kindergarten class after receiving a first session free. Our trainer was Samantha. After class, we felt completely confidant that this was THE class for us and we signed up right away. Sam is amazing! We made sure to purchase a package that included the puppy kindergarten class and three private sessions because we knew she was so good with Bailey. In a class setting, Sam makes each pup (and owner) feel like the only one in the room. This can be hard to do when there are more than a handful of dogs. Karma dog also has assistants that help the trainers in class. Leslie is our favorite assistant, and like Sam, she makes sure that each dog and parent understands the task at hand. In a home setting, Sam is personable and thorough when it comes to training. The session is based on whatever the owner and pup needs. We loved getting the one-on-one attention. Bailey loves Sam and has really learned well from her - as have my husband and I! I would recommend Sam - without reservations - for anyone looking for basic dog training to advanced training. She is the best!! read more

I can't say enough about Samantha. I hired her to do the reverse board and train with my four poodles (two standard and two mini) while I was in Colorado for five days. She stayed in touch the who week with updates and pictures of the pups, and I felt extremely confident that I had left them all in extremely capable, but gentle hands. When I got back at the end of the week to my still-clean home, my pups were quick to show off their new skills. Even the babies can now follow basic sit, down, and stay commands. With next-day follow up on what I need to do to continue the progress, and six-months of included group lessons, it was money well spent to iron out minor anxiety and potty-training issues and teach basic skills. Thanks so much Samantha and Karma dog training. read more

Karma Dog Training - Both followed basic sit/down/stay commands for this photo. Yes! - Pet Training Near Me - Carrollton, Texas

I highly recommend Karma Dog Training! Their services are very reasonably priced when compared to other dog trainers in the DFW area. If you purchase one of their "starter packages" they also include 7 weeks of puppy-kindergarten classes at no additional cost. Karma is a great value even without the classes, but with the classes included they offer an incredible value. Our trainer, Robin, was fantastic and very knowledgeable. Our 9 week-old golden retriever took to him immediately, and in the 3 hours since Robin left we have already noticed improvements in our pup's behavior. Robin gave us lots of information and direction to work with. We can't wait to continue our pup's training with Karma and with Robin. I can't highly enough recommend both Karma in general and Robin specifically as a trainer. 5 stars all around! read more

Very disappointed. My first class was canceled just a few days before I'm suppose to be in class, due to a Easter. Guess they didn't know when Easter was... no worries. I was assured class would be same time same place next week. I even emailed to varify, this Sunday at 5p on Friday. it was confirmed. Well get there with my granddaughter only to be told it was canceled again. Very unprofessional. No one bothered to tell any of us/clients that Dog Obedience trainers were unavailable! read more

We love Beth! She cares so much about our puppy. He is very smart (the humble parents we are), so he gets extra attention from her and she stays late to talk after class. She sent us harness information and links to videos. Given the minimal cost, this place goes above and beyond in terms of dog training that you'll find in the DFW area. And my dog wont' stop looking through the fridge for the food/training treats that they recommended. As soon as he sees them, he starts laying and sitting and giving me paws automatically (without command). It's hilarious! Would recommend Karma Training to anyone! I'll keep going, for sure. read more

To say finding Karma Dog and Karah Wilkes, CPDT-KA Karma Dog Trainer & Behavior Specialist was a God send would be understating it! I'm not sure if you know this, but puppies are super narcissists. Our new lab puppy while VERY VERY cute really needed to learn manners! We attended Karah's puppy socialization class to get our baby confident around other puppies and to teach her some social skills. However, the best thing we did was do "board and train" with Karah. She kept our puppy for a week and returned to us a sweet obedient puppy who mastered commands like "sit" and "down". She helped tremendously with kennel training and was walking on a leash like a champ! Karah even made videos of her training for us to refer back to so we could continue our training at home. She made this dog-mom feel at ease with leaving my precious puppy with her, I knew she was sweet and loving to her and I truly felt like she was in good hands. I have recommended Karma Dog and Karah to several friends and will continue to do so. read more

Omg. Roger is AMAZING. I'm not sure who these two angels I came home to even are!!! We adopted two rescues that had zero confidence, manners, potty training and had been struggling to try to train them. We opted for the reverse board and train while we were in Florida for 10 days. I wasn't sure what to expect when I got home but the change is amazing. I came home to Sweet Little angels. I know that I'll have to continue with some group lessons and reinforcing the foundation he laid for them but I'm so excited to do it because I know it will only get better from here!! Thank you so much!!! And thank you for taking care of my babies and my house. I highly recommend this service!! read more

We do the Puppy Kindergarten on Sundays at the Carrollton location (Social Pack Dogs building) with Beth. We absolutely love it. We get so much out of the class, and our puppy gets a safe, clean place to interact with other dogs while he's still too young for dog parks. Beth is wonderful. She's well-spoken and informed. She is thorough when she answers questions and always asks if anyone is having any problems at home or issues that weren't dealt with in class. She comes up with creative solutions when one or more puppies can't focus. She's also really good about giving frequent breaks and interacting with each puppy, no matter how many there are. (Though I definitely preferred the holiday weekend where only two of us showed up! The one on one attention is invaluable. The upside of the fuller classes is that our puppy has more playmates, though.) She answers her emails very quickly, and she's really understanding and flexible in case of emergencies. I like all of her assistants (students?), too. They're always really delightful and friendly and excited to see us. We look forward to our class every week, and we hope to be with Karma for a long time to come. read more

I highly recommend Karma Dog Training, if I could give more than 5 stars I would. From my first encounter over the phone to individual, in home, training, group training and board & train, each individual has been helpful, professional and responsive. I have a sweet 6 mos old lab and a very energetic 6 yr old daughter and the trainers have all been fantastic at including my daughter and helping her have more positive interactions with our puppy. Our connection with Karma Dog Training started as a puppy-welcome gift and has grown into an experience that will stay with us for our dog's lifetime. read more

I can't speak highly enough of Karma Dog Training. The instructors were patient and accommodating. I brought my cute little deaf puppy as soon as our Vet cleared him, and they made sure to welcome us and highlight his strengths as we progressed. I may attend a few classes once he's finished because we enjoyed the lessons and the socialization opportunity so much. Plus, it's frankly a bargain to spend time with puppies every weekend! read more

We decided to go with Karma Dog Training to start training our 14 week-old beagle puppy. We opted for the in-home boarding program where a trainer worked one-on-one with our dog own in our house for 6 hours a day for 5 days. Roseanna was our trainer, and we cannot say enough good things about her. We were very impressed at what she was able to teach in such a short amount of time. Rumour learned "sit," "down," "touch" (similar to "come"), "roll over," "leave it," and "spin." She left us daily notes on what commands they had worked on that day and areas that we could work on with her further. She also helped us with housebreaking and left a note each day that told us how many times she had peed and/or pooped outside and if she had any accidents in the house. She started laying the foundation for leash walking, and we're eager to work with Rumour on this more once all her shots are finished. Most days we would arrive home before they were finished training for the day, and Roseanna would show us the new commands she had learned and let us practice them with her there so that she could provide feedback. Working with Rumour in the evenings to practice and reinforce the new commands was easy and fun because Roseanna had done such a good job with her lessons during the day. Additionally, she helped work on Rumour's socialization with other dogs by letting her play with her huskies one day and with people with a field trip to Home Depot. Finally, she was a wealth of knowledge for all of our puppy questions such as: teething/chewing, suggestions for getting along with our senior dog, housebreaking and crating tips, what to expect in the stages of the first year, desensitizing to touch, how to deal with finicky eating, how to help accustom to car rides, etc. I would recommend Roseanna and Karma Dog Training to anyone looking to start training. The in-home boarding program we chose includes 6 months of free group classes, and we are most likely going to take advantage of those. We were very pleased with Roseanna and her knowledge, skill, patience, and friendly demeanor, and we could tell that Rumour really liked her and felt comfortable around her. If all the trainers are at the same level as her, I don't think you could go wrong choosing Karma for your training needs. read more

Our puppy Nellie (all 45 lbs. of her) LOVED Miss Amber! She was amazing with her! We did the board and train and it was so worth it. She's like a different dog. Calm, obedient and very happy! Thanks so much Amber for your loving ways! read more

5 stars to Samantha who just spent a half on the phone with me counseling me on my super nutso dog -- it may seem early for the review but I've spoken to about half the dog trainers in the Dallas area (this is a tough case) and I can tell when someone knows their stuff. Thanks for all the advice! read more

Karma has been such an amazing experience for our new puppies. We enrolled them in the puppy kindergarten class and Katie has been a fabulous teacher. They quickly picked up on the new commands and we're so much better around other dogs and people. We also decided to really jump-start their training and did a two week reverse board and train with Samantha. This was literally life changing for us. It worked out so well with our busy schedules to have her at the house working with the puppies and then we were able to meet at the end of the day to go over what they learned to continue practicing. They are so much better behaved on walks, in the house, etc and have continued to excel despite not being even 4 months. We loved Sam and already miss her so much- she was so fantastic with the dogs. I can't so enough great things about Karma, highly recommend!! read more

We chose Karma Dog Training and Rebecca Kleinberg at the Carrollton, Texas location and I cannot say enough wonderful things about Rebecca and Karma. We worked with Rebecca and the Karma program to train our dog Roxie to be a service dog for my son with autism, ADHD and a mood disorder. We started with private in home sessions and then moved on to the Good Canine Citizenship program, then additional private lessons to train her for the test. Throughout the process Rebecca was professional, caring and above all else knowledgeable about Roxie's behavior and the types of tasks that would be the most helpful for our son. I feel confident with Roxie's training both at home and when we are out within the community. Thank you Karma and Rebeca! read more

Beth is our trainer and she is great! We have learned so much just from two in-home training sessions. Beth pays careful attention to both dog and trainer, and she is genuinely concerned about helping both. We worked together to come up with a detailed treatment plan for my dog's separation/isolation anxiety. And despite all the online research and vet consultations, nothing beats having a professional trainer come meet you in person and tell you what you can improve on. We are very grateful to Karma Dog for matching us up with Beth, and have had nothing but great interactions with these kind, caring, and patient people. read more

We recently adopted a 4 month old puppy from a local border collie rescue (Gemma). It was important for us to enroll her in puppy and basic training classes. We came across Karma Dog and boy we're glad we did. Trainer, Samantha, was AMAZING! She was patient with each client and gave all of us individual attention to ensure we had the best experience possible for human and dog alike. The puppy socialization was the best part about the class. As the dogs were playing in class, Sam was always watching and describing what she observed to make each pet parent feel comfortable about their dogs' play style. We highly recommend Karma Dog and Samantha. read more

Amber is the best trainer around! She was so honest and helpful. They don't care about taking your money, but genuinely want to help. I highly recommend Karma Dog. read more

I am so happy to have connected with Karma Dog Training. Every one I have met from Jeffrey the owner to Kathlyn their top Service dog trainer, have been gracious and extremely accommodating. Spending time with each of them allowed me to see first hand the philosophy of Karma Dog up close. Jeffrey even introduced me to one of his three PitBulls, "Scottie Potter", who was beyond delightful. I highly recommend anyone who is interested in creating a conscious relationship with their dog to contact these amazing folks! read more

I'm very disappointed with their unresponsiveness before and after our initial session. Despite the 5 stars rating, I should've realized their unprofessionalism when it took 3 days for a trainer to contact me after I submitted a request online. I scheduled our first private in-house session on August 24, the trainer talked about random topics for 1.5 hrs and "trained" for 15-30mins. She kept saying that she'd email me all the info and recommendations she's talking about. At the end of the session she charged me 1/2 of the session's fee and recommended that another trainer does the training......On September 1, I texted to see if she had emailed me all the info she'd promised but she said that she'd been "swamped". September 11, I texted her again and she still hasn't gotten back to me. Maybe she will after reading this. I've been more than patient for over a month but I don't intend on using their service again or recommend them to anyone. It's been a waste of time and money. read more

This review is for Samatha Elkins. We adopted a 8lb shih tzu a year ago that is one of the most fearful and shy dogs I've ever seen. After reading numerous reviews on yelp for finding a dog trainer specifically geared towards shy dogs, we really wanted to try and reach out to her. She's very attentive and caring. She spent an hour on the phone with me before our consultation to just talk through what to expect and how my dog was feeling. During our training session, Samantha knew what she was doing exactly and at one point almost told me that my dog might have been beyond her. However, at the last minute, Samantha reached my dog with a special treat and it's worked wonders on my dog. With Samantha, it was the first time our little girl ate a treat from my hand. Its not an easy process but Samantha knows what she's doing and we look forward to more sessions. read more

I hired Karma's Samantha Elkins to work with my one year old rescue pup and she was amazing. She answered all of my questions prior to our appointment via text and had great suggestions for handling different behavioral issues with him. She was also so sweet with my little guy and made him feel very comfortable. He spent the whole time laying all over her lap and trying to kiss her face :) would highly recommend her private sessions and group classes!! read more

I was so happy to have Samantha come and work with me! My dog, Moose, has been having very serious aggression issues. I have been extremely worried and not sure how to help him. Samantha was able to fit me into her schedule very quickly! She walked myself through everything she was doing, and why! Throughout the session she continued to teach me how to look at my dogs body language, pick up on what he is telling me and how I can appropriately react. Before Samantha came for our session I was afraid and hesitant of my own dog. Prior to her leaving I felt confidence in being able to work with Moose. I am looking forward to continuing training with Samantha as she helps me to help Moose. I would recommend Karma Dog Training to anyone looking for kind hearted, well educated individuals! read more

Beau and I just finished our first in-home training with Beth, and we both adored her delightful, common sense, supportive, knowledgeable, calm, positive approach. I feel like I have a new friend. By training in our own setting, we're able to work in the environment where the skills will actually be implemented... perfect. We're signed up for at least 2 more sessions and look forward to practicing between now and then to show Beth our stuff. :-) So very glad we found Karma Dog Training! read more

Our time with Amber was exceptional! Her coaching style was perfect for how we needed to learn to work with our new Weimaraner puppy. There has been a complete transformation in his behavior and in our ability to maintain control. Her ability to explain the background on why our dog would respond to commands helped us move even quicker. Worth every penny and every hour spent! read more

I met Emily Wisdom at a Karma puppy training class and then got matched with her when I asked to have in-house training. Emily is great. She emailed me and asked me to give her a list of things we wanted our puppy to learn. When she came to our house for the training session she had a plan for each item I had on the list. It has been extremely helpful and I use it her instructions and training techniques everyday. Our pup is now 6 months old and is on her way to becoming a very well behaved dog. Thanks Emily. read more

Amazing! Samantha is the VERY BEST at training, and I've been fostering/rescuing for over a decade. She worked with our last two furrkid additions, which are Australian Shepherd puppy rescues. When we added two more rescues to a growing family of senior-aged boxers, we were a little worried. Our pack integration was quit challenging to begin with due to some existing behavioral issues (we have all rescues), but Samantha was able to overcome all serious roadblocks and turned our puppy monsters into puppy angels. Most importantly, she genuinely cares about our babies and shows love for them - something you just can't find in most trainers! I can't say enough good things about her...simply wonderful. I recommend her 100% and can't wait to use Samantha and Karma again! Thanks for everything! read more

Ive now seen the impossible! Samantha Elkins with Karma Dog stayed with our spoiled untrained boxers (one of which is deaf) for one week while we were out of town. I returned to find two of the most well behaved dogs Ive ever experienced. Not only do they follow commands but they are much calmer; essentially their anxiety and stress seems to have been neutralized. We still have work to do, but it is awesome to witness the miracle that an intuitive dog training professional brings to the situation. Thanks Samantha!! Mark Hall read more

I thought KDTs training of my young dog/late pup was great, and would highly recommend them..., to any and all - unfortunately I have to caveat that (and unfortunately take away 1 star) because I've struggled with the cost/benefit ratio. To me price has to be part of this. If I was ever going to do a "make sure I start out my young dog in the best direction EVEN at a high cost" this would be it. I'm glad I used them as they seem to truly have helped get a couple KEY fundamentals in my dog; sit, some concept of heel - reinforced and developed touch older and more at next trainers - so THAT seems pretty invaluable. Since my young dog seemed to really take up heeling when I really needed (as I was about to have a crippling surgery to recover from) at next trainer(s)ing - and IT was notably less I've wondered about the value side(?). And since this flat cost a lot, I have to hope there may be better value elsewhere - but perhaps in this market it's just all not modest cost and I may ask too much? But who can say for sure about making sure, yet having value, when another alternative's outcome, at same time/conditions is not known? [It' called a "joint testing" problem of unknowables.] And relatively speaking, by that yardstick I could not give anyone here 5 stars? So don't think not having 5 stars is a must. By all means KDT deserves top recommendations on making sure your pet gets trained in the most positive enduring ways. If that - even a higher cost is worth it - I'd expect you'll be quite happy with them. I am glad I did. But guess this nets out in summary to my thinking KDT is of most value at the most important times in a younger dog's life. If you wait until later it's likely to be reduced benefit and higher cost relative to other choices you may have done by that point. read more

Our dog has enjoyed going to see Miranda! We've seen an improvement in our dog and she's doing much better with her obedience and commands. We really appreciate the effort with the classes and we are glad we found Karma Dog Training. read more

Contacted Karma Dog in a very desperate place. My dog Lucy started showing extremely concerning behaviors on leash and it made our walks so stressful to the point of me dreading taking her out. She was impossible to control and scaring me as well as causing a scene over other dogs when on leash. The owner Jeff assured me that he would send me his best trainer who would help us love walks again. I spoke with Sam Elkins prior to our first evaluation and immediately started to feel some peace of mind with her kind nature and reassuring knowledge. She squeezed me in on her day off knowing how upset I was. Well we are on our second lesson and I couldn't be happier with how well Lucy and I are learning to communicate. Sam is teaching us so much more than I could have imagined. I understand it is not a quick fix and we have some work ahead of us but she has given Lucy and I our relationship back. Can't wait to see how far we can go with her help! read more

Karma may be a decent training program, but my experience was not good. We have a young Chow Chow - 9 months old. I have had many Chows and know the breed well. We only buy from well-known quality breeders. We purchased Brutus from a breeder in Detroit at 8 weeks old. This pup is smart and sweet. BUT, he is rowdy. He wants to play all the time and will not take no for an answer when he decides it is time to play. He can get rough when he decides it's time to play and nips at our ankles and pants legs and stuff. He is also very scared of strangers and will not allow anyone but my wife and I to pet him. He will eventually warm up to people, but it takes at least an hour after they come over before he will let them close to him. He is not aggressive, just scared. We hired Karma for a private training visit at our home. Katie from Karma showed up Sunday night and when we opened the door she instantly, before doing anything, started throwing treats to Brutus. This continued non-stop for an hour and a half. I am sure she fed him a full bowl of food that evening. She also showed up with her little girl...8 or 9 years old I am guessing? No warning and no explanation for that. Throughout the evening she was unable to get Brutus to come up to her at all. He stayed at least 4 feet away barking most of the time. Katie had no answer. She left promising to send us an email with a plan for Brutus's training going forward. Curiously she did not charge us for the visit. We never heard from her. I waited a bit over a week and then called Karma, thinking I would give them a chance to comment before posting a review. I called and asked for Jeff, owner of the company; since he is the one I originally spoke with when I hired the company. It took about a day to get hold of someone. Jeff was unavailable. They were quite apologetic and "shocked" to hear what had happened. I was told Jeff would call me. A day later I received a call from another representative. She explained that Jeff had a death in the family and would not be back until Friday. She was also very sympathetic and "shocked" at what I told her. She assured me they would follow up. It has been another week now and no follow up. The rest of the story: I hired another dog trainer several days after Katie left and BEFORE calling Karma to tell them what had transpired. Her name is Loren and her company is "The Traveling Dog Trainer". She arrived with no treats and had no need of them. Within a few minutes of her arrival Brutus pretty much calmed down. Within 20 minutes he had approached her and licked her hand. After maybe half an hour she had him on a leash and was demonstrating commands. She talked CONSTANTLY! Awesome information. At the end of that hour we knew more about dog behavior than I would ever have believed. For the following week we practiced the techniques she had taught us (in one session) and saw a marked improvement in Brutus' behavior. She has since returned for another hour and Brutus is a changed dog. Actually, he is the same dog, but we now know better how to interact with him. I think I must have been lucky with all my former Chows...either that or as I grew older I lost my dog communication skills! I would recommend Loren 1000 times. Wow. read more

Samantha is AMAZING! She came to my house and worked with my 5month Bouvier. In one day she fine tuned his basic commands of sit, stay, come, down, leave it, and nipping and jumping. She actually trained myself and husband. I was really impressed with her tactics and how they were logical vs the gruff training I've experienced with another trainer. My puppy loved her and responded well.. Thanks to her skill, I love my puppy even more... Hope to do more training with Samantha and I would for sure recommend her. read more
