Your Journey Starts with Assessment!

At Custom Canine, we believe in personalized training experiences, and it all begins with a comprehensive assessment.

How we make it work for you:

Personalized Path: We start by understanding your unique training goals and conducting a thorough evaluation of your dog. Together, we'll decide the best program tailored to your needs and your furry friend's personality.

Cost Advantage: The cost of this initial assessment? It's not just a fee – it's an investment in your dog's transformation! The amount is seamlessly integrated into the total cost of the program you choose.

Personalized Attention, Proven Methods, Lasting Results.

After your initial assessment, we'll adjust the recommended lessons needed to get the results you deserve.

Personalized Approach: Ditch one-size-fits-all! We craft personalized lessons to address your dog's unique needs and your specific goals, working hand-in-hand with you for success.

Convenient & Flexible Learning: Train in the comfort of your home, on your schedule, and at your dog's individual pace: Private lessons offer maximum convenience and flexibility for personalized success.

Effective Training Methods: Learn positive, reward-based methods from our expert trainer, then access ongoing support for lasting success beyond the lessons.

Samantha's Patience Saved Us! Practical Advice for Any Breed/Issue.

I highly recommend Samantha. She has experience with a variety of breeds and issues and has been incredibly helpful with my anxious dog, Jade. Samantha takes the time to answer my questions, listen to my concerns, and offer practical advice. I truly appreciate her help and patience!

From Eager Learner to Gifted Trainer: Why Samantha Stands Out.

I met Samantha early in her dog training career, and even then, her drive and passion to learn and grow were evident. She readily absorbs information and feedback from anyone willing to offer it, and never hesitates to ask questions or challenge herself and others, which has accelerated her skills and knowledge development. Samantha's ability to translate information into action is a true gift, and anyone who works with her is in great hands.

Sam helped us build a solid foundation for Saydie's training, and now she's a well-behaved pup at only 10 months!

Picking a trainer was like picking a pediatrician for my children – I didn't want to get it wrong! Sam was absolutely the right choice! She's knowledgeable, patient, and reassuring, training not only Saydie, but me as well. She helped us develop a solid foundation that we continue to build on. At 10 months old, Saydie is able to go into any pet-friendly store or restaurant and behave appropriately! I would absolutely recommend Sam!

Sam's 30-day board & train transformed my out-of-control Bernedoodle into a well-behaved pup.

Sam is a lifesaver! Before training, my Bernedoodle chewed, bolted off-leash, jumped, and couldn't relax at home.A 30-day board & train was Luna's best chance, and I'm eternally grateful I found Sam. She achieved all our goals and was amazing with Luna.Sam is passionate, trustworthy, communicative, and a true dog training expert. I highly recommend her!
