Sami A. Dog Trainer Bio

Sam is a native New Yorker who grew up reading James Herriot, with her dogs and pet rabbits. She is an avid lover of dogs, animals and the great outdoors. In 2016, Sam raised and trained a Canine Companion for Independence puppy, who graduated as a certified K-9 facility dog at the New Castle County Police Dept (DE). She is CPDT-KA certified and has trained and boarded all varieties of pups in NYC. After turning in her CCI dog, Sam pursued a career in dog training. She enjoys educating both dog and owner, enabling them to strengthen their bond and bridge the gap of communication differences; creating a wholesome, healthy and loving relationship. Sam’s most rewarding aspect of dog training is witnessing the transformation of a dog’s mental capacity to learn; and apply the newfound knowledge in its everyday life. In addition to hanging out with cuddly canines, Sam is an artist, has played in several bands and composes her own music. Her current canine sidekick is a hound/lab mix rescued from Badass Brooklyn Animal Rescue. Having a background in fine art, Sam’s ability to read between the lines carries over in her ability to understand canine behavior and nurture every dog’s individual needs.
