Behavior support for dogs and guardians with big feelings
In-Home Dog Training in Richmond, VA
You love your dog, but you just don’t get them sometimes.
You know they’re having a hard time, you just don’t know why.
Sometimes, you’re tired, frustrated, and overwhelmed — and sometimes, you feel guilty: for feeling those things, for not having a magic wand to “fix” your dog, for the things you think you might be doing to cause their struggles. I’ve been there too.
So you asked a friend, or maybe the internet…
And then you felt even more overwhelmed — there is so much information out there, and a lot of it is conflicting. You couldn’t quite put your finger on why, but some of that information felt icky.
The good news:
You ended up here. I know what it’s like to try to navigate the sea of dog training resources, and I know what it’s like to have a dog with big feelings — about other animals, people, the world.
The better news:
I can help you and your dog understand each other, and get back to loving life together.

“Sam has helped me so much with my sassy, reactive cattle dog, Claude. Claude gets to be an active participant in our training and he's learned so, so much, including how to communicate more effectively and settle himself down. Sam is an absolute gift.”
