Sam's K9 Academy and Puppy School Flintshire
Description
Puppy and Dog Training Classes in North Wales flintshirepuppyschool@outlook.com Sam's K9 Academy and Puppy School was establish in 2009 after Sam spent 2 years at collage and 3 years at university studying Animal Behaviour with a special interest in Canine Behaviour.
Sam began her professional training career by teaching Puppy School classes after being trained and assessed by well know behaviourist and author Gwen Bailey. This has now expanded into Sam teaching 13 classes a week for puppies and adults aswell as working with difficult dogs on a 121 basis.
In 2015 Sam was independently assessed by both the Institute of Modern Dog Trainers (IMDT) and the Association of Pet Dog Trainers (APDT) and achieved on both Full Membership. Sam is always working on obtaining more knowledge and learning new techniques and regularly attends CPD training in subjects including Canine Body Language, Aggression and Rehab, Specialist Scent Detection, Tracking, Rescue Puppy and Resource Guarding.
Sam has worked with dogs from the age of 14 in numerous boarding kennels so has alot of practical handling experience with many different breeds. Sam grew up with a show cocker spaniel called Misty, at the age of 13 rescued a Shih Zhu cross called Rocky and started her training experience in local classes, at the age of 15 she rescued a 6 week old Lurcher called Molly and experienced many different dog sports and at the age of 18 she rescued a Saluki called Freddie who has been extremely mistreated. Freddie was very shut down when he arrived and would react extremely badly to people, Sam spent alot of time rehabilitating him to feel more comfortable and he is now a happy and content dog. Sam now lives with a Working Cocker Spaniel called Stanley and they enjoy trick training, shape training, agility training and Stanley works with Sam during one to one sessions to help nervous dogs.
In 2014 Sharon joined the team initially assisting in the Puppy Courses but now helps with the adult courses and in one to one sessions. When Sharon first joined the group she was a first time dog owner but has had alot of practical handling experience and has joined Sam on many CPD courses. In 2016 Sharon was assessed by the Institute of Modern Dog Trainers and achieved Full Membership.

facebook.comCongratulations to Olive, Ianto, Ronnie, Meg and Thor for graduating Puppy School today. You have done an awesome job and come so far. Well done guys thank you for a great six weeks. Please feel free to tag and share.
Today on our walk we have been "playing ball" but not the way you probably think. Stanley loves sniffing and searching so as we walk around the field I randomly drop his ball and when we get back to the area I ask him to search for it. Look how happy he looks using his brain. #exercisethebodyexercisethemind
Surprisingly my Stanley is not on the list 😂😂😂
