Sam Stopes IMDT
Testimonials

Happy Clients

"Sam has been amazing since she took on Bailey. She has been walking and training him several hours a week. He is like a different dog since seeing Sam! For the first time since rescuing Bailey we now have a calm dog we can happily take out to visit people and do family outings."

- Eden

"We cannot recommend Sam highly enough. We have used a few dog trainers and Sam is head and shoulders above them all. Never any judgement - just simple, practical tips which make a real difference. She has given us invaluable support with our very anxious and highly prey-driven whippet and we are extremely grateful to her."

- Calum

"Sam is fantastic! She's not only fantastic with dogs, but a lovely people person. She explains everything clearly and with connections to real life, as well as ensuring you never feel silly with any questions. She is a dog whisperer, reading body language and teaching you about what to watch out for and how to react. I've come away feeling so much more confident, a huge amount more knowledgeable and positive about the future. I couldn't ask for any more and would recommend her in a heart beat to anyone needing support, kindness and absolutely no judgement. Results come with that!"
