Dog Training in Canterbury -

What would you like to change?

...taking your dog out, knowing they’ll no longer listen to you as soon as you close that front door?

Walking your dog should be enjoyable for both of you, not an exercise in frustration, or a breakdown in communication.

...managing barking or snapping, especially around strangers or other dogs?

It’s exhausting to constantly worry about how your dog will react and to deal with the judgment of others.

...finding a moment’s peace at home because your dog never seems to settle?

When your pup is even more restless after a walk, it can feel like you’ll never have a calm household again.

If you’ve been feeling at a loss, take a deep breath – you don’t have to figure this out alone.

What if life could look like this?

Walks where your dog gets to explore and always comes back to you, eager for the next adventure together.

$

A calmer, happier dog who feels secure in new situations, leaving both of you confident in handling whatever comes next.

$

Peace at home with a dog who knows how to settle, giving you both time to truly relax and unwind.

No matter your dog’s age, breed, or behaviour challenges, all this is possible. Even older dogs can learn new habits, and the path to change starts with patient, effective guidance tailored to you and your dog.

Dog Training in Canterbury - Samantha Humberstone

Hi, I’m Sam

…a lifelong “dog geek” who’s spent years helping families understand, train, and thrive with their dogs. I know how it feels to face these struggles – I know from experience how tricky it can be to know where to start, let alone what actually works or will benefit our dog as well as ourselves. I coach dog owners, providing clear, practical advice that fits your lifestyle. Together, we’ll turn chaos into calm, building confidence for both you and your dog so you can enjoy your life and home together.

My Philosophy

Getting There Together

At the heart of my approach is a commitment to prioritising every dog’s wellbeing and happiness. I believe in building confidence and trust between dogs and their families, creating stronger, more harmonious relationships. By tailoring strategies to suit each dog’s age, breed, and unique personality, I ensure that every plan is as individual as the dog itself, ensuring lasting success and a much deeper connection.
