About Samantha

I have been an animal lover all my life. I was raised with and have raised all types of animals over the years. Beyond just your basic dogs and cats, there were ferrets, chickens, ducks, rabbits, goats, guinea pigs, gerbils and even a raccoon. Even today the best compliment I receive is being told that I "have a natural way with animals". I tend to bond closely with the animals I work with whether only for one session or years of teamwork.

Being a fortunate soul I was very lucky to discover my passion young & to find that a career using that same passion was within grasp. Straight after high school I went off to Texas to attend Triple Crown Academy, a dog trainers school. There I learned an invaluable amount about dogs and there behavior, becoming a Certified Canine Training and Behavior Specialist. Upon returning home to Florida after achieving my Certification, I started my own business of teaching In-Home lessons throughout the local neighborhood. 

After a year of teaching dogs with problems such as Digging, excessive Barking, or Leash Pulling I found one consistent thing between them all. Lack of exercise! Dogs that had nothing else to do while they were home alone soon enough created bad habits.

From that moment on I have been working on designing programs to get bored dogs out of their ruts and off to becoming great dogs. For some just a walk around the neighborhood will settle their nerves, for others they need a more involved curriculum to entertain their minds more than their legs. Every dog is an individual so every dog gets a custom program just for their needs.

 About Triple Crown Academy     

Picture
"While the state does not require dog trainers to be certified. I feel that without my education from Triple Crown Academy I would not be the trainer I am today.

My classmates & I took classes in everything from Basic Obedience to Schutzhund. Learning canine body language and communication, as well as the delicacy of teaching people along with their pets. It was truly an irreplaceable experience."  ~ Samantha Bednar CTBS
