Yes! Learning without the pressure of managing your own dog can be hugely beneficial. Observing various training techniques applied in various situations will improve owners' understanding and ability to apply it.

Recording training sessions can be a great learning tool for owners and trainers. It allows for review, reflection, and improvement. I record our workshop sessions and they are shared on the membership page so you can go back and watch, allowing you to stay in the moment

There are a lot of trainers that do not allow attendees to record or take photos - we do! I always strive to maintain transparency in my techniques. You're always welcome to record. All dogs deserve to be treated with kindness and respect, whether in an open space or behind the scenes and at Pack Life LA we do exactly that. I have complete confidence in my methods, and I believe they’re suitable for all to see and learn from.

My goal is to build a trusting relationship between the dog and owner. I strive to teach you methods that are humane, transparent, and effective.

Student will arrive at Samantha's house/first session location in the morning and observe sessions, working board + trains and have plenty of time for questions. The schedule will primarily depend upon what Samantha has that day. Students can provide preferences of what they would like to observe and suggested days will be offered.
