My Name is Sam, I own and run Dog Smart.

I have been a dog trainer for the past 14 years and have experience training a large variety of dogs from puppies to adults and Chihuahuas to Great Danes.

My love of dog training was sparked 2010, when I purchased my first puppy Rolo, as I took him through classes I soon realized that 1 dog was just not enough for me, so I soon added to our family with Rocky my second working Cocker. They both helped me to grow as a trainer and nurtured my fascination for dog training. After the birth of my first 2 children I wanted a dog to grow up with the children so added our 3rd, somewhat calmer dog Nala, our Golden Retriever.

I believe that training your dog should be fun and rewarding for both you and your dog and should be tailored to your individual lifestyle and circumstances.

In training. I believe there is no right or wrong answer, just what works for you and your dog. I see my job therefore to help you to find the training solutions that will help your dog to fit in with your lifestyle.

I strongly believe in using the latest scientifically proven training techniques and as such I strive to attend as many seminars and workshops as I can. I have trained with some of the worlds most renowned trainers including John Rogerson, Chirag Patel, Kay Lawrence, Emily Larlham (kiko pup) Nando Brown, and Grisha Stewart.
