About Me
My name is Sam and I am an experienced and passionate Dog Enthusiast & Trainer based in the South of Surrey.
I started dog walking in 2020 in Bedfordshire and moved back to Surrey in 2022, where I originally grew up.
My love for dogs started at a young age and I have always had a keen interest in dog behaviour, training and welfare. As well as owning a range of dogs throughout my lifetime, I have a Level 3 Diploma in 'Canine Behaviour & Welfare' and I attend voluntary work experience with Surrey & Sussex Police Dogs - Training School. The combination of study and working experience gives me invaluable knowledge of how dogs should be handled and cared for.
My passion is simple; To make dogs as happy as possible and this all starts with exercise, leadership and allowing them to have the balanced lifestyle they so rightly deserve.
Reliable & Trustworthy
I understand how much you love your dog, you can be assured that I will love them just as much as you do. For this reason safety is my number one priority.
All my sessions are in secure areas of Surrey, away from roads and distractions. I will only walk your dog off-lead with your permission and once I have established my own bond and recall with them.
I know very well that every dog is different and your dog may require his/her own individual walking/training experience. Most of my walks will be in groups of up to 4 dogs but I do also offer solo/training walks, if preferred.
Dog Training
My end goal is to start a Dog Training Academy.
This journey requires continuous study and experience over a sustained period.
My Canine education doesn't stop here - Every single day is a school day when it comes to dogs and with each new dog I train, I learn something new and develop ideas to be creative with each and every one of them. I offer a wide range of dog training sessions and walks to Puppies and Adult Dogs.
If you are having behavioural issues with your dog, or perhaps your dog just needs some reinforcement training, get in touch for further details.
