Samantha's Positive Pet Pedagogy

Pet Training, AKC Evaluations, & Vet Prep Tools

About me:

I have loved animals all my life, and starting in 2019, I began working with animals as an independent trainer. I can teach puppy classes, leash skills, AKC test prep, basic canine and feline life skills, and provide handlers with the tools they need for stress-free veterinary visits and behavioral modification.
