What others are saying:
"The feedback on the the videos and detailed instructions on how to approach each activity was great. I also appreciated being able to reach out with questions outside of class."
"Sam you were so patient and knowledgeable, but didn't make me feel intimidated as I learned. Doesn't mean I wasn't, but you didn't make me feel that way. I appreciated the lunch hours when I could attend. I was very surprised in how overwhelming the whole process was for me personally. Patience is not a virtue I was blessed with and the reinforcement you provided kept me going."
"I felt great that I could come to you about issues that we were experiencing and receive some guidance and recommendations on how to approach it."
"Thank you SO SO SO much. The life we dreamed of having with our dog feels so much more attainable now."
"We liked how organized the course was, everything seemed to be in a specific order in a way that made sense to ease into these new training techniques. We also liked how task-oriented things were. You explained things clearly and provided multi-modality education and made everything actionable for us to implement on our end."
"You have been great, I really appreciate your patience and the overall goal of healing the dogs nervous system through your training approach."
"We love you, Sam! So very glad to have found you and would absolutely recommend your training to anyone. We felt like we the humans benefited even more than River probably will from the training (ok maybe the same!!) because of all *we* learned - about him, about us, about training. It's made us all the more confident working with him on our own post-training, which is an awesome feeling. We could really feel our bond grow with him - every little win brought us closer."
