Personalized Training for NYC Dogs
Natalie
“Now that he is back he is a much better behaved dog and the issues I had with him prior are fixed. I have sent my friends to Sam for their dogs. All around very happy and grateful!"
Jackson
"I could not recommend Sam enough - a true professional that really loves, reads and understands dogs - with a super calm demeanour and super articulate with a technique that is super easy to follow - even for a novice like myself!"
Katie
"I am so impressed with how much my puppy was able to learn in just a few sessions and would highly recommend Sam to anyone looking for general or specific training!"
“I am a certified Dog Trainer (ABC-DT) based in NYC. My passion for dog training started almost a decade ago, when as a young adult, I fell in love with watching owners and their pups grow together and strengthen their bond through training. I bring this passion, love, and know-how to every pup I meet and I cant wait to share it with yours.

My Story
I am a certified Dog Trainer (ABC-DT) based in NYC. My passion for dog training started almost a decade ago, when I needed help with Pink, my then 9 months old Poodle, and the youngest of my family's pack.
I was so captivated. I kept training Pink and many of my friend's and family's dogs for years. In 2017 I decided to make my passion a career, study different methods, get certified, and start helping people and their furry friends as soon as possible.
Now as a fully certified dog trainer, I thrive on finding the perfect combination of non-reactive, humane, thoroughly modern, and innovative training methods. Primarily positive reinforcement, Marker-Training, Science-Based Training, Relationship-Based Training, among others that will work for your specific needs
I want to help you clearly and effectively communicate with your beloved doggo and foster the relationship you've always wanted.
Book an Assessment Session and I'll show how to get results fast and have fun at the same time.
