Success Stories
Howie and the Lawsky Family
The Problem: Severe leash pulling and reactive barking during walks. Making outings stressful for everyone.
Training Approach: We implemented a structured positive reinforcement program focusing on focus drills and loose-leash foundations in low-distraction environments before transitioning to busy Atlanta streets.
Howie was a rescue pup who had a lot of energy and behavioral challenges. He needed quite a bit of
training, routine and structure. Sam was very patient, knowledgeable, and truly understanding of how to
work with dogs and their owners. We have seen an amazing change in Howie's behavior and are so
grateful to Sam for his guidance and expertise! Thank you, Sam!
Bella & Sarah Johnson
The Problem: Selective hearing and poor recall, which meant Bella couldn't be trusted off-leash at local dog-friendly areas.
Training Approach: Through specialized private coaching, we built a 'rockstar recall' using high-value rewards and progressive distance training, coupled with engagement games.
Results: Sarah now has the confidence to let Bella run freely in designated areas, knowing she'll return immediately when called, even under distraction.
Luna & Mark Thompson
The Problem: Extreme anxiety and jumping on guests, making home visits from friends and family difficult.
Training Approach: We focused on place training and impulse control exercises, helping Luna understand how to settle when new people enter her space.
Results: Luna is now a calm hostess. She greets guests by sitting politely and waiting for their attention, completely transforming the atmosphere of Mark's home.
