Training Philosophy
Sammye's Dogs' training employs humane, effective training based on the latest scientific evidence. Our protocols are set to you and your dog up for success.

We utilize reward-based, clicker-style teaching which furthers progress toward a more compassionate relationship between humans and animals.

Together we reach your training goals one step at a time by

1.) reinforcing and training desired behaviors

2.) interrupting and preventing undesirable behaviors

3.) Making adjustments with consideration the dog's progress, and physical health and emotional state

My name is Sammye Darling and I am a Certified Professional Dog Trainer Knowledge and Skills Assessed (CPDT-KSA) who has over a decade of experience with training dogs. My passion began with rescuing homeless dogs making them more adoptable and helping the adoptions stick and training service animals for individuals with disabilities. I founded my own 501c3 non-profit in 2015 to do just that!

My training is geared towards each client and dog individually. I create training plans to achieve goals or behavior modifications with the owners to enhance owners' skills and the human-animal-bond with their beloved dogs. I provide followup emails that details the information we covered in our lessons. In addition to one-on-one training, I enjoy teaching group and zoom classes, and board-and-training in my home and owners' homes.

I have a wide skill set and am comfortable training dogs that are high energy, overly excited, distracted, impulsive, attention seeking, fearful, anxious or destructive when alone, jumping on people, pulling on or biting the leash, pottying in the home, digging in the yard, counter surfing or stealing food or objects, darting out doors, barking, resource guarding, leash aggressive or dogs that threaten other animals. My goal with every client is that my clients do not need me anymore and feel confident in their abilities to manage, train and maintain their dog's training.
