Because those early weeks matter—and you shouldn’t have to figure it all out on your own.
Is this you?- Tired of stepping into mystery puddles every time you turn a corner?
- Cringing at the high-pitched crate cries that never seem to stop?
- Totally lost when it comes to leash training or teaching polite house manners?
- Wondering how much puppy biting is too much?
Feeling pressure to “socialize” your pup but terrified of doing it wrong?
If you're a new puppy parent who just wants to raise a well-mannered, happy dog without yelling, punishing, or guessing your way through it—this package is for you.
What you’ll get:4 private lessons tailored to your puppy, your lifestyle, and your goals—so you can stop Googling and start confidently training.
You'll learn how to:
🐾 Teach your puppy where and when to potty (no more wet socks!)
🐾 Create calm, confident crate habits and bedtime routines
🐾 Socialize safely without risking trauma or fear
🐾 Walk together on leash without pulling or stalling
🐾 Handle the mouthing phase with compassion—and keep your hands intact
🐾 Build lifelong skills through positive, science-backed methods
No fear. No force. Just results.All training is rewards-based and rooted in kindness. We use proven, game-based methods to build confidence, cooperation, and connection—never intimidation or outdated dominance techniques.
The end result?A puppy who grows into a calm, confident, and well-mannered dog—and a human who feels equipped, empowered, and totally in sync with their new best friend.
Ongoing support to keep you on track
In addition to your private training sessions, you’ll receive printed and video resources to guide your practice between visits—no need to memorize everything on the spot. You’ll also have access to email support between sessions so you’re never left wondering “Am I doing this right?”
Because raising a puppy is a journey, and you deserve a trainer who’s with you every step of the way.
Follow-up single sessions are available after completing your Puppy Package.

✅ 1 x 60–75 minute Zoom Consultation
✅ 1 x 45 minute Follow-Up Session
✅ Custom training plan + resources
✅ Ongoing email support between sessionsFor the dog owner who’s saying:
“I just want calm, happy walks—but my dog is barking, lunging, or pulling like mad on leash.”
“I dream of off-leash freedom, but my dog bolts, chases wildlife, or totally ignores me.”
“We got a family dog, but their rough play and growly behavior around toys or food has me worried.”
“Vet visits and grooming shouldn’t be a battle—but they’re a total nightmare.”
“I work from home, but I’m constantly putting out fires—chewed cords, barking on Zoom, toy tossing.”
“I love my dog, but I need some space—they follow me everywhere, even the bathroom!”
“We want to take them on adventures, but car rides are loud, stressful, and full of drool.”
If any of that sounds familiar—you’re not alone. And you don’t need to live like this.
What to expect:This package is all about helping you move from daily chaos to calm connection—no yelling, scolding, or power struggles required.
In our full Zoom consultation, we’ll:

Identify root causes, not just surface symptoms
Give you actionable steps to start making progress right away
Prioritize changes that actually align with your lifestyle and goals
Within 48 hours, you’ll receive a custom plan tailored to your dog, plus supporting video and print resources so you’re not left guessing.
1–3 weeks later, we’ll meet again for a follow-up session to coach you through training games and practical strategies that help shift your dog’s behavior from frustrating to fabulous.
Kind training. Real change.All training is rewards-based and rooted in the science of behavior. That means no fear, no force, no outdated dominance drills—just supportive, proven methods that help your dog want to do the right thing.
Imagine this…Peaceful, connection-filled walks where you feel proud (and relaxed!)
A dog who listens, even off leash—even when there are squirrels, picnics, or other dogs around
A calmer home life where you can actually get things done
Care routines that feel safe and stress-free for both of you
Adventures together that bring joy—not stress
Let’s help your dog live their best life—and help you enjoy yours again, too.

We connected with Samaya couple months ago and started doing game-based training with Marvin. He has been make great progress everyday and I finally feel that I can win his attention over another dog in the park.

I have seen such a difference in my dog, training for the situation instead of in the situation. I am more equipped and feel more confident because of her. I highly recommend!!! Thank you Samaya :)

We are so grateful to have found Samaya! She is consistently so lovely, dedicated, competent and nonjudgmental with her clients, including our very quirky pooch!

Just completed Samaya's Rapid Recall course. Her content was awesome and is helping me make a better connection with my dog.

I realize that the time I spend with her in games has made a huge impact. She loves her bed, she is eating better that we have made a game of it, and her recall has improved greatly.

Samaya has a great grasp on the psychology of dogs and excellent communication skills for explaining these. Her techniques have been a game changer and are entirely positive. I also realized that my own pessimism was affecting my dog's sense of optimism and likely his confidence, as well. We work together so much better now, and our relationship is so much better.
