We have engaged Sam and Bear Necessities since adopting our rescue dog, Lily, last spring. Being a…read morerescue from a puppy mill, Lily needed special, intense care just to learn the basics of being a family dog, like climbing stairs and responding to commands. We subsequently learned Lily also has a seizure disorder requiring special care. Sam has helped us immensely through all these challenges with professionalism, compassion and most of all a deep understanding of what training and caring for a dog is all about. We cannot say enough good things or give enough praise for Sam's work with Lily, and we recommend her to anyone who is looking for the best possible care for their dog.

He became a much better dog with her training. So needless to say we were very excited to learn she opened a boarding facility. It can be very stressful on both you and your dog when finding the right kennel and having Duke stay with Sam is such a relief to us. Her facility and philosophy regarding dog care and handling is exceptional.

I dropped off my German Shepherd and not even 10 minutes later they told me I needed to come pick him up, which was funny because he had been to the groomer many times before with no issues but after moving, I needed to find a new one. So after doing tons of research, I found another place nearby with great reviews and what would you know they had no issue with my dog at all. The issue was not my dog. It was their groomers. Not to mention the passive aggressive comment they made when I was picking him up, asking if "he let me brush him at home". He lets everyone brush him and loves to be brushed, but he also is a good judge of character and maybe that was the issue. Attached is the photo of my big sweet boy after taking him to Woof Gang instead

I scheduled at my convenience, leaving a long period between my 4th and 5th sessions. Ida diagnosed my puppy son with dominance, very rare at that early of an age. I had diagnosed him with asshole, and it seemed I was right. She taught me how to show him I was the boss and get him in line. She also taught him all the important commands and gave me homework to strengthen those commands between lessons. She truly got into my dog's head and turned him into a wonderful companion. He is now 8 months old and my best friend. I still call Ida here and there for other problems I have like housekeeping or barking. She suggested a bell he could ring to tell me when he needs to go out and now he uses it every time. I have suggested several friends use Ida. She is a miracle worker.

We never experienced David as a trainer because of our amusing experience during what he calls…read more"evaluation" - he charges $225 for an opportunity for an 80's style hard-sell: he scares a dog first and calls it "pray drive;" he makes references to psychology legends such as Edward Thorndike; he compares himself with the most famous dog trainers and how underpriced he is; he instills the sense of urgency - did you know that your friendly dog was an evil creature that immediately requires a weekly training course (he does not actually say that; he wants to you come to this conclusion)? He is really good with this type of mental attack - highly recommend to business majors who want to experience hard-sell practices of the 80's. Just remember that you'll pay $225 for the privilege.

David is a wonderful trainer! We brought Mango, our 10 month old GSD, who was aggressive to anyone,…read moreincluding my 9 y.o. sons friends, whenever they entered our house. Mango was friendly and socialized outside our property, but would attempt to bite anyone who stepped into our driveway. Mango, also doubles as a Houdini, can unlock and open any door (including with child locks) and would go outside whenever he heard anyone close to our property. Multiple dog owners recommended David. We brought Mango in and were told that he was spoiled (I mean how can he not be, he's so handsome), not properly socialized and tightly wound. David boarded Mango for 2 weeks and worked with us intently everyday on proper dog handling. At the end of the training, Mango came home a new dog. He was very relaxed, listened- even my son could handle him. We're very grateful to David for training our dog. David runs a high quality training center: the kennels were always clean (my dog didn't smell like urine or feces when he came home signaling he was kept clean). I recieved video updates and was welcomed to work my dog with other dogs to ensure I had proper management prior to him coming home. I would highly recommend David.
