Meet your dog trainer, Sam
Feeling exhausted trying to figure out your reactive dog’s behaviour? It’s okay. I get it, I’ve been there. I’m a qualified dog trainer and specialist in reactive dog behaviour.
Applied Canine Behaviour and Training.
Working with reactive dogs and their humans
Ethical, reward-based methods. No punishment.
Fostered since moving to Spain in 2020
Why work with me?
I’ve worked with reactive dogs and their humans since 2016 and have a degree in Applied Canine Behaviour and Training. Originally from the North West of England, I moved to Riogordo, Málaga, in 2020, and have helped countless reactive dog guardians across the UK, Spain and beyond.
I use force-free, reward-based training. No harsh methods, no punishment. My goal is to help you understand your dog’s behaviour, reduce reactivity, and rebuild your confidence so you can enjoy life together again.
Meet my dogs
I share my life with my husband and five crazy canines. Since moving to Spain in 2020 we’ve fostered 30 rescue dogs, and our own pack have taught me most of what I know.
My original reactive duo, and the ones I made all the mistakes with. Their struggles sent me to a clinical animal behaviourist. Millie is no longer with us, but Austin is 16 and still loving life.
A working-line Beauceron I fostered when a client realised they weren’t cut out for such an intense breed. She’s been a challenge and my greatest teacher.
Another Beauceron, who joined our family as a puppy.
Our special-needs Podenco, found wandering the campo. His focal seizures are stable on medication and he absolutely adores snuggles.
Found in a field at just 10 days old during a calima storm. He was meant to be adopted, but when that didn’t work out, he stayed with us.
How can I help you and your dog
Reduce reactivity
So you can enjoy walks again.
Rebuild confidence
So you don’t feel trapped by your dog’s behaviour.
Strengthen your bond
With training that makes sense for both of you.
