Sam's pup training provides a sound base for both pup and owner alike. One of the best take-aways for us, was to use a much shorter lead. Between my self and Otis (my dog), there is a better understanding and walking on lead is like night and day in comparison.Reactivity is a big thing for us, he can and does get over stimulated on occasion - that will take time but I do see improvements.In the right location/situation, I like to let Otis off of the lead and in the main he listens to verbal and whistle requests well - even if I don't give a food treat reward.Happy with the progress made but still lots to achieve.

Great experience for my dog and myself

Great dog trainer. We learnt a lot of things about our dog that we weren't sure on. Still have a journey with our dog, but he's made some great process very quickly.

I am so thrilled with my sweet dog’s progress. She has/had noise phobia and was too frightened to leave the house. Therefore no walks which had left me despairing.Today I had done 5 minute walk outside the hose with noisy traffic and Darla( dog) , was busy sniffing and taking treats! Fantastic and amazing. All thanks to Sam’s work with us both. What a team .We have to replicate and extend the time etc but I know we can keep going and get there.Highly recommend.

Sam has been great teaching me to teach my spaniel calmness. Obviously it’s a work in progress but I can definitely see some improvement already.

We recently worked with Rovers Return and are very happy with the progress so far.Sam was professional, knowledgeable, and helped us to understand our dog more. The training techniques were easy to follow, and we saw significant improvements in just a few sessions. We highly recommend Rovers Return to anyone struggling with their dog's behaviour.

We had gained a puppy with a few problems at 7 months dashound who was very nervous and sam helped us understand how to make looking after him and getting him to to understand what he needed and being scared if out walking he was so scared of any dogs or people but as he was not been out with the other owner he had not been mixed with anything but with working with him and now I can go out with him and even now walk him with our other dogs but one thing i found hard was with him being young and very nervous when I just left for a walk people would all come up to him or even crossed the road to see him which would stress him out so I did find by getting a lead with nervous dog on people would give him space and now injoying going out that he sits at the door would like to thank sam for all the help 😀

Sam is absolutely amazing with Louis. She is very clear to understand for Louis and myself. Louis loves Sam coming & learning new games. The training is paying off already after 3 weeks. Definitely would highly recommend Sam. Thank you Sam xx

Absolutely amazing puppy class! Our pup Hades has really enjoyed it and he has learnt a lot. Sam is excellent at understanding a dog with additional needs, she took into account the fact that he is a tripod and struggles with his movement. Thank you so much Sam!

Really useful classes, Sam was very friendly

Well structured lessons on training your puppy. Each lesson progressed well as we learnt how to teach our puppy. A nice approach given to puppy training.

Thank you so much to Sam for a wonderful block of sessions to help with our Labrador! Following the behaviour assessment, Sam tailored the sessions to support our Lab but with realistic and achievable tricks and tips that we could do. The sessions were so informative and our Lab really enjoyed them. We have seen huge differences in our dogs behaviour in a short time with us now to continue with the training. Our understanding of dogs behaviour has improved so much through Sam’s guidance. We honestly cant’t recommend Sam more highly!

Great training and knowledge. Took a lot on board with a lot of practicing to go forward with

Katie and I have really enjoyed working with Sam. An anxious Cockerpoo in need of calming and distracting, Sam has made some excellent training and enriching suggestions to help Katie a less stressed dog. Thank you Sam! X

We just completed a 6-week puppy training course with Rovers Return and it has made our lives a lot easier. Sam was instrumental in teaching us the fundementals of our puppys behaviours and provided us with good techniques to continue her development. Thank you!
