What Clients are Saying

“Sam was so kind…”

“Sam was so kind and patient - both with me and my dog! She taught me a number of tips and tricks that will be helpful as I continue to work with Freddie, and was always willing to provide helpful information. She is an incredibly knowledgable dog trainer and I would recommend Sam to anyone looking for a little extra help with their pup!”

“Our experience was excellent.”

“Our experience was excellent. As first time dog owners we were unsure where to begin. Sam helped us understand how to approach different situations in regards to puppy behavior. We learned a number of training commands that helped us both in the home and outside where there are many distractions. Sam was open and very welcoming to having our children take part in the training and took time to establish a baseline of understanding while having patience with both the adults and kids as we engaged in what we were learning.”

“We couldn’t be happier”

“From the first visit, Sam impressed us with her dog knowledge with her simple act of crouching down to Selene's level and only showing a side body view. Selene was eager to follow Sam's direction as she helped us ease our nervous rescue dog into some trust. We're looking forward to now finally getting Sam to help us with more advanced training. Sam is professional and kind and her love of animals shines through in all her actions. We couldn’t be happier with Bear Necessities. We just wish we had more time to meet more consistently!”

“our dog responded so well”

“We found working with Sam for our dog training so helpful! Our Havanese dog Terry learned so many behaviors (drop it, leave it, recall) and most importantly learned how to rest and relax with our family, which he could not do when we started the training. Sam’s manner of teaching was wonderful, and our dog responded so well to her tips. Thank you!!”
