Was passed Sam's details from a friend and it worked really well, working with my six-month old puppy.
Samantha was really positive about everything, and clearly knows what she is doing, Belay loved her visits and is working well with the training (when I remember!
) I only had 3 sessions but learnt so much in that time.
Sam also keeps in touch via email and I know if I have any queries she wil be tere to answer them.
I would definitely recommend her to anyone wanting puppy training, and the fact that she fits around your schedule and comes to your home means that the whole thing is far less stressful for all!

A friend recommended Samantha to me, we completed the gold puppy training package. Samantha was punctual, friendly and knowledgeable and her training sessions were individually tailored to our needs, easy to understand and very effective. Lenny responded well to the clicker and treats, both of which Samantha supplied. We both thoroughly enjoyed the programme. More...

Can't thank Samantha enough for everything she taught Buddy and us!
Buddy is becoming such a lovely member of the family because of everything Sam has taught us right from toilet training through to obedience and lead walking!
We had 3 sessions but it's reassuring to know Sam is there should we need help in the future.
I definitely recommend Sam to anybody and we will miss working with her!

Started training with Samantha around 6 weeks ago having bought two puppies.
They needed not only basic puppy training but after a couple of weeks started displaying some aggression towards each other which was alarming.
Samantha was really supportive with this as well as being fantastic at the puppy training. A great way with the dogs and a great teacher who builds confidence in both the puppies and owners. The service was over and above in terms of support (via email and phone) as well as in the sessions, which was thoroughly appreciated.
The resources provided were great and a real help for any new dog owners.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Angel Pets for any training needs. My two are now much better behaved, responsive to my requests and a pleasure to be around.
Thanks so much (from all of us �)

Working with Sam has given us a great deal of confidence and understanding as to how best to communicate with Floyd and set boundaries and rules in a way that is fun and rewarding for him. We have looked forward to our sessions and definitely seen the progress week by week. Very happy to recommend Sam's excellent service to anyone who is looking for support through those full on crazy puppy dog and days and wants a well behaved and happy dog as they mature. More...

Thank you so much Sam, Dot and I have really enjoyed our time with you. You have given me more confidence to deal with my gorgeous, unruly, badly behaved black lab teenager, and Dot has enjoyed every minute of it. She has learnt something new each time and found it fun, particularly the amount of treats and the attention. I never wanted her to be the perfect dog, she's far too much fun as she is, but you have definitely smoothed off the edges and helped me to bring her in line. We'll miss you. x More...

I have booked my first session in with Samantha.
Thank you Bark for putting us in touch.
What do you love most about your job?
Training dogs is my passion. I enjoy working with all breeds of puppies and dogs and I love watching them learn using simple and effective reward based methods. Dogs are amazingly intelligent and when we work with them showing love and respect the results that can be achieved are amazing.
What inspired you to start your own business?
My own dog Dory inspired me originally to get into dog training and consequently to start my own business. When I brought her home as a puppy, despite copious research, the reality was not quite what I was expecting. I then spent many hours finding out about the best methods for training and began implementing positive, reward based training methods, something which I pride myself on using today. Whilst training Dory I realised I was actually very good at it, and decided to pursue it as a career path. I want to be able to share my knowledge with other new puppy and dog owners to help them on their journey to having an amazing furry friend just like Dory is to me.
Why should our clients choose you?
As a Clever Dog Company Method Licensed Trainer you can be assured that I work to the highest standards and follow the APDT(UK) Code of Conduct, only using kind, reward based methods of training. With ten years' experience as a Primary School teacher I know that one size does not fit all when it comes to learning and am able to tailor my lessons for my clients. My experience as a teacher also means that I am fully able to include all the family in my training. I particularly enjoy working with children and dogs as it is a joy to witness the long lasting bond and friendship that is created. I also get to help shape the next generation of dog trainers, instilling in them the importance of positive, reward-based training methods and ensuring this best practice continues for years to come.
