Hear from our Clients

  • "I wish I could push five star twice. The people at Blackhill Dog Company have literally changed my dogs life and our families life for the better. The board and train program was the best decision we could have made!! They helped our Gunner boy realize it’s not such a big scary world that he thought it was. In less than one month we are able to have him laying in the same room as our grandchildren and he is not rambunctious and scaring them. We have signed up for some private lessons to make sure we are giving him everything he needs. This place is amazing!"

    Paula D

  • "Great experience with the board and train program. Can’t thank Sam enough for her work with our rescue dog. She kept us updated and welcomed any questions we had along the way. Although the separation was tough we felt safe knowing our dog was in Sam’s capable hands. After having our dog back home now we can see a huge difference and we know we made the right decision. Highly recommend!"

    Carly S.

  • "If I could give more than 5 stars I would. I was on my 3rd attempt in trying to find the right training program for my dog. Black Hill Dog Company was perfect. Sam is awesome. She really listened to my concerns and what I wanted to address in my dog's behaviour and came up with an action plan. I decided to do the board and training program and this was well worth it. My dog is more focussed, calm, listens to commands better and is overall easier to manage. I also appreciate how flexible Sam was in dealing with my dog's heat cycle while she was in training. I am very happy with how my dog has progressed and I am continuing what Sam started."

    Andrea Simmons

  • "I took my dog to do a 6 week training day program with Sam. My dog was super reactive to other dogs/humans/everything and very barky. He would always pull on the leash and I felt like I had no control. Within a couple of weeks of working with Sam, I started to see some big changes and after the full 6 weeks I can confidently walk my dog, in full control, with zero reaction from him when we encounter other people and dogs! I really didn't think this would be possible! Couldn't recommend Sam and Black Hill Dog Company more - super grateful for all her efforts and training, thanks Sam!"

    Karlee Moore

  • "Black Hill Dog Company is by far the best choice around. We put our boy jax into the day trains and at the end of the 6 weeks he was a completely different dog. Controllable and easy to handle on the leash now where my girlfriend wasn't able to walk him before since he pulled so hard. We finished the program working on recall and needless to say he is great. We are definitely going to be putting him into another course to fit our life style needs and cannot wait. Thanks again Sam!"

    Ethan Mendrikis

  • "Sam has a ton of knowledge and patience. Brought my puppy for her first training at Black Hill and I feel Sam helped me spot potential problems and gave great advice. The fact that she is a vet technician is an added bonus. Sam is someone who loves animals and wants the best for your pet. Highly recommend!"

    Donna Belyk

  • "There are specialists in every profession. When your expensive sports car isn't running quite right, you take it to a specialized mechanic. When something is wrong with your body or mind, you go see a specialist in the field that ails you. When your four legged canine companion needs some help to become the best pup they can be...you call Black Hill Dog Company. The team has supplied us with the tools we need to be the best family members for each other."
