Training & Behaviour Plans
You got a dog to enjoy life together.
So why live in firefighting mode when there’s another way?
You didn’t get a dog to feel stressed, embarrassed, or constantly on edge.
You got a dog so you could:
Stroll through the neighborhood without bracing for lunges
Enjoy peaceful walks with your kids or partner
Hike off-leash without panicking that your dog will bolt after wildlife
Relax on the patio with friends while your dog chills by your side
Have a calm, trusted family companion at home without them growling about food
Here’s the thing: those dogs aren’t “unicorns.”
And they’re not just “easy dogs.”
They’re trained.
Not with punishment or quick fixes… but with the right skills, foundations, and support.
Right now, your dog might feel like a lot — barking, pulling, chewing, chasing, worrying, whining.
But those behaviours aren’t proof you’ve failed. They’re just signs your dog doesn’t yet have the skills to cope.
That’s where the Training & Behaviour Plans come in.
These private sessions give you immediate relief for your biggest struggles (lunging on leash, recall fails & flails, resource guarding, shadowing you everywhere)… while building the long-term habits that lead to the calm, confident, adventure-ready dog you actually pictured when you first brought them home.
Herbie, Sam & Marvin
“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.”
Raven M. & Bentley
“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 :)”
Ashlyn Buxcey & Paddington
“Training is finally a fun and engaging experience for both myself and Paddington.”
Drew William & Zoe
“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!”
Ashlyn Buxcey & Paddington
“Training is finally a fun and engaging experience for both myself and Paddington.”
Susan & Bella
“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.”
I get it — I’ve been there.
When my own dog was slipping toward reactivity after being attacked, I felt the same mix of frustration, guilt, and dread you might be feeling right now.
Walks felt like a battle. I was on edge the entire time, scanning for triggers. At home, I was constantly managing little fires — barking at noises in the hall, pacing, whining, following me to the bathroom.
And honestly? I started wondering if this was just my life now.
But here’s what I learned: your dog’s struggles aren’t “bad behaviours.”
They’re skills gaps. And when you teach the right skills — calmness, confidence, resilience, focus — everything changes.
That’s why I offer custom Training & Behaviour Plans: to give dog owners like you the tools, games, and strategies that actually work in real life, in YOUR life.
Not quick-fix obedience drills. Not dominance myths. But science-based methods that transform the way your dog sees the world — and the way you feel about living with them.
How It Works
Step 1: Choose How You’d Like to Start
You’ve got two easy options:
✨ Book Your Package Directly — If you already know this is the right fit, you can dive right in. Training starts with your very first session, so relief begins right away.
✨ Schedule a Free Discovery Call — Not sure yet? No problem. Hop on a call so we can unpack your dog’s behaviour, make a plan together, and be sure it feels like the right fit.
Either way, you’ll leave our first conversation (call or session) with clarity and insights you can use immediately.
Step 2: Your Training & Behaviour Package
Once you’re in, here’s what you’ll get:
✔️ 4 × 45-minute private sessions (in-person from Sidney → Langford, or Zoom) — so you get hands-on coaching tailored to you, your dog, your home, and lifestyle.
✔️ A custom behaviour & training plan — so you build everyday habits, not surface fixes.
✔️ Practical training exercises & lifestyle strategies — so that you can build new habits, not just manage problems
✔️ Supporting video & clear homework — so you practice with confidence and consistency between sessions.
✔️ Ongoing email support — so questions and setbacks don’t derail your momentum.
The Training & Behaviour Package is $547 + GST (4 personalized sessions + custom plan, resources, and ongoing support).
Relief starts right away.
Investment
One client told me after our first session:
“I feel like we just had a therapy session.”
- Lynn & Delilah
This isn’t just training — it’s akin to therapy for your dog (and for you).
Because when your dog is anxious, reactive, or overstimulated, they’re not being “bad.” They’re signaling they need help to feel safe and cope.
This package gives you that support: expert insight, strategies tailored to your unique dog and life, and relief that begins immediately.
Your return? Freedom instead of stress:
A more peaceful home
Walks that feel fun again
Confidence with care routines and outings
✨ Most clients leave the very first session already breathing easier — with new hope, a plan, and relief that things can (and will) change.
That’s worth far more than:
A single preventable vet visit from a dog-dog interaction gone wrong
The cost of sending your dog out for group walks in hopes socialization will “fix” them. (*spoiler - it more often makes things worse)
Or the years of stress, guilt, and frustration that come from trying to “figure it out” alone.
Imagine This…
✨ Heading out for a walk without bracing for the next lunge — because your dog can actually notice you, not just the trigger.
✨ Letting them off-leash on the trail and watching them come racing back when you call — not disappearing into the bushes after squirrels.
✨ A calmer home where you can work, relax, or have guests over without constant barking, chewing, or pacing.
✨ Vet visits and grooming that feel safe and smooth — no more wrestling matches or white-knuckle holds.
✨ Adventures that feel joyful — camping trips, patio hangs, car rides — with a dog who can actually enjoy them too.
✨ And most of all: feeling proud of your dog (and of yourself) — because you know you’ve given them the skills to thrive, not just survive.
You don’t need a perfect dog — you need progress you can see.
Progress like:
✅ Walking down the block without your shoulder yanked out of its socket
✅ Getting through a leash walk without barking matches at every dog you pass
✅ Calling your dog back from chasing a squirrel — and actually seeing them turn toward you
✅ Eating dinner on the patio without a leash wrapped around every chair
✅ Handling food bowls and toys without worrying about growls
That kind of progress starts in Session 1.
