Our animal shelters are utterly overwhelmed. They have been, and they will likely continue to be for the foreseeable future. It’s nothing short of devastating, and we have to work together as a community to face this challenge. 🐾

As a professional trainer, it’s a large part of my job to provide resources and education to help keep dogs in their homes and out of the shelter environment. I feel passionately about dogs being well-matched with their owners, and providing training that is suitable and easily maintained for a happy and fulfilled life (for dogs AND humans, together).

With that being said, I’m excited to announce that I am now offering a discount on all in-person training programs for rescue dogs. 💕

All you need to do is apply for training by completing an intake form and indicate on the form that your dog is a rescue. (link to form is in bio)

If you’ve been considering training for your dog (rescue or not), now is the time to sign up! Books are filling up into the early fall months, so let’s get you & your dog living an AMAZING life in time for all those fall adventures. 🐾

Additionally, if you’re considering getting a dog, but not sure where to start - let’s chat! I have virtual options available which are PERFECT for discussing how to find the best fitting dog for you & your lifestyle! ✨

*effective and applied to programs booked on or after 8/3/2024. Discount will not be applied retroactively.

You’re going to want to save this post!! ✨

Unwanted off-leash dog encounters are NEVER any fun for anyone involved. These are a few of my very best tips on how to handle the situations, because they are likely to happen in our world. 🐶

This list is not all-inclusive, as there are plenty of other methods. This is also dog dependent, so keep in mind that I wrote this from a ‘reactive dog owner’ perspective. 💕

Be sure to leave any questions in the comments!

Roo and her owners graduated today from The Owner’s Immersive Experience! 🥳

It was such an honor watching her confidence grow and her relationship with her owners change for the better!! We tackled things like fine-tuning leash manners, reactivity to “weird” things, reliability in her listening, and a mindset overhaul. We introduced the ecollar, laid a super solid foundation, and took the skills out into various public settings over the last 6 lessons and we’ve all had fun watching Roo become the best version of herself. 🥰

Roo’s owners truly put in the work and everyone’s progress is remarkable. I’m genuinely so proud of this team. And, I mean, I couldn’t even get this girl to look my way for a photo cause her engagement is so good with her owners! How presh! 🤩

I know they’ll still have moments to work through moving forward, but they’ve got the foundation and skills to help them navigate anything that life throws their way. Be the best, Roo-girl!! 💕

If you’re interested in The Owner’s Immersive Experience, I have one spot available left for the summer! Send a DM or fill out an intake form to start today! (Link is in my bio!) 🐾

“Sammi, what should my day look like with my dog?!”🤨

Remember, this is just an example of what your day can look like at home! Whether you’re WFH, in office, hybrid, or confusing about how to add structure into your dog’s daily life, this can be used as a helpful guide!

➡️ *Please remember that this is just a suggested GUIDE! You don’t have to follow it to a T; you can adjust, tweak, and make changes as you see fit! And, keep in mind the weather and when it’s safest to walk your dog!

What does your day look like with your dog? LMK in the comments! 🐾

June was very good to me 🥰🥰

Filled with dogs (entirely too many dogs to fit into this carousel), wildflowers, garden produce, lovely clients, and plenty of rest. (Also, how did I take NO PHOTOS at the client bbq?! How?!)

What is one thing you’re looking forward to in July? Tell me in the comments!
I’m looking forward to getting back into the swing of working (after some great time off), and having some family in town!

I am FULLY embracing my resting days lately! But, I’m also here to remind YOU that it’s okay to take some downtime 💕

Summer is always go-go-go. It’s easy to get caught up in trying to do ~all the things~ while the weather is nice, but don’t forget to rest. Take a calm evening to hang in the backyard. Read a book and doze on a Sunday afternoon. 😴

And guess what? Your dog will benefit from rest, too! Our dogs need more rest than we usually give them. They don’t need to be hiking, joining us on a patio, going on ALL the outings, all the time. Rest is valuable to let dogs reset, learn new things, process experiences, and maintain a healthy nervous system.

If you’re trying your best, you’re a good dog owner. 💕

Is this the same Mottz from two weeks ago, holding still, quietly for a photo?!?! 🥹🥹

To say I’m proud of Mottz & his owners is an absolute understatement. I have no doubts in my mind that they are off to do great things and live a much more peaceful (quiet…er) and fulfilled life, together. ✨🐾

Mottz’s journey is just beginning and I know his owners are ready for the challenges that will come. When Mottz’s mom mentioned the word “pivot” during his go home today, it perfectly explained what dog training is. (It also made my Friends TV show loving self very happy 😂).

A journey is not complete without its highs, lows, triumphs, and challenges. It’s important how we handle each of those moments and pivot when necessary.

Be the best boy, Mottzy! 💕

Welcome Mottz (full name Mozzarella)! ✨

This husky/heeler mix is 4 years old and is FULL of life, but not always in the easiest ways to manage! Mottz is here to work primarily on stranger danger and his state of mind.

Major props to Mottz’s owners for laying a fabulous foundation and reaching out for help when it comes to that state of mind stuff! Mottz is known for his excited/anticipatory whining and barking, especially during transitional moments. His owners even report he will spend the 1+ hour car ride barking on the way to a hike barking his head off.

Can’t wait to help this guy feel better, develop some coping skills, and reset his nervous system. Let’s get to work, Mottz! 💪✨🐾

PS: in true (pre-training) Mottz fashion, he barked at me every time we tried to take intro photos, so these were the best I could do 😂

My POV

Maybe not the best quality, but these were just too cute to not post on the feed. One of my main hopes for my clients when they board their dogs with me is the reassurance that their dogs are loved and truly integrated into our pack. 🐾

Whether your dog is here for training or boarding, always know that there’s no shortage of love. 💕

✨Introducing: An Owner’s Immersive Experience ✨

I am so ecstatic to introduce this new program for you and your dog! While creating this program, I kept thinking “but how can I offer MORE than just simple private lessons?”. How can I provide support for the owner while teaching about training? How can provide a program for those who want to be more involved in the early stages of training?

Voila - the Owner’s Immersive Experience is born! 🥳

This isn’t your average private lesson package. This is going IN DEPTH, and because of that, we’ll be able to tackle even more challenges, together. We’ll spend time making sure that you feel comfortable building your training foundation, embracing the tough moments, and improving your relationship with your dog. I’ll also be there to support you every step of the way! 💕

Ready to level up your training journey with your dog? Let’s do the dang thing!! Comment “IMMERSIVE” for more information, or head to the link in my bio to start your intake form.

I can’t wait to train together!
