Misty K. Mills

Misty Mills, CPDT-KA, caters to many of your dog's needs. We work with puppies and adult dogs on things such as potty training, obedience, basic manners, problem solving, doggie fitness and even agility. We love working with shy dogs. Those that were afraid to walk in the door, are now happy to spend a fun day with friends. Training can take place in a group, your home, our facility or during an extended boarding stay. Each training program is custom-designed to meet YOUR needs, because what works for one family or dog doesn't always work for another. What? You don't have a dog? Misty can even help you find the perfect dog through a shelter or a responsible breeder and teach you how to bring a dog into your home the right way. That way, you and your new pooch get off on the right foot the first time. You'll have fewer behavior problems to correct down the road, and your dog's life-long relationship with you will be one you'll both treasure.

Robyn D. Slusky

Dog training and behavior modification for all puppy and dog behavior concerns. We work with serious behavior issues, including aggressive behavior, fearfulness, thunderstorm phobia, growling or biting when you take food or toys, anxiety and destruction when you leave the house, barking and lunging at other dogs and/or people on walks. We give you the tools to stop common behavior problems like jumping up, pulling on the leash, nipping, rough play, soiling in the house, and barking. We provide training for canine obedience and manners: sit to greet people, lay down during dinner time, go to bed when guests come over, walk politely in the neighborhood, walk past yucky stuff on the sidewalk, come when called, wait at the doorway. These are the manners that make a dog a joy to have in the home. We get you and your puppy off to the right start with Puppy Start Right Preschool classes that socialize your puppy to all the experiences your puppy will have later in life.

Training PhilosophySammye'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 by1.) reinforcing and training desired behaviors2.) interrupting and preventing undesirable behaviors 3.) Making adjustments with consideration the dog's progress, and physical health and emotional stateMy 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.
