Understanding how dogs learn is what Dognitive is all about

Does your dog:

  • Struggle to calm down

  • Fight with another animal in the home

  • Panic during vet visits

  • Freeze or hide in new environments

  • Snap or bite when touched

  • Lunge at other animals on walks

You’ve come to the right place.

Helping dogs with big feelings is what I do.

My dog Wallaby was a bit of a handful when he was younger. With Sam's help and all around general guidance, he dramatically changed his disposition.

I love her methods of training. There have been some forms of dog behavioral modification I've heard from others that always had me weary. However, Sam's techniques do not use these tactics.

I highly recommend her to anyone.
