My young Springer has some challenging behaviours but Sam is so patient and understanding. She always looks for different ways to channel Finlay’s energy and natural abilities to help build his confidence. The progress we’ve made has been possible because of Sam’s support and guidance.

Excellent dedication to helping people with their dogs!

We have a 20 month old Black Lab and Sam has helped us massively in training and understand his behaviour better. Dog and humans are happier and more relaxed thanks to her knowledge and skills.

Sam from Paws to train & behaviour is by far and away the best dog trainer that I have come across.Keep up the good work
Kirsten Miller, October 2025
Sam is such a fantastic trainer. She is so supportive, knowledgeable and caring.
Her approach to training is exceptional, the way she’s able to explain behaviours and break everything down means that you as an owner aren’t overwhelmed and she works really hard to make sure that the training is working for both the dog and the owner, this has been so encouraging and really has helped both our dog and us as owners to grow in confidence.
Sam really has done wonders for our black lab. The range of training offered by Paws To Train is also fantastic, from puppy / dog training to scent work… our black lab loves the one on one scent work that we do with Sam.
Whichever path you’re taking, you really feel supported through the training journey with Paws To Train.

Sam is not only a knowledgeable, professional, trusted, adaptable & inspiring dog trainer. Shes a caring, empathetic, fun, conscientious, realistic, confidence building, encouraging dog trainer & person. We've been taking our pup to classes for a few months & will be starting the scent work class next week with both our dogs. Whatever age or ability your pooch has, Sam will help you & your dog grow a confident, loving bond we all aspire to have with our beloved pooches.

Sam is brilliant! Patient, kind, understanding, and gives clear practical advice in training sessions. My young dog and I are building a stronger bond and our training sessions focus on what we want to achieve as Sam takes the time to understand your goals with your dog.

Because Sam is great. She knows her stuff and is great with both dogs and humans.
Elaine Dye, October 2025
Sam is a complete star and is training me and my husband as much as she’s working with our three year old Pointer, Sid. I SO wish we’d had Sam in our lives from the very beginning. I would recommend her - and have done - to anyone.
Sarah Cresswell, October 2025
Sam has been fantastic from the moment I first got in touch with her about puppy classes and has supported me individually and in a group setting with the basics needed for a large bouncy puppy! Our pup adores her and we've come a long way under her guidance, she's always on hand with advice when you need it and doesn't make me feel an idiot for not knowing things or panicking about certain situations that other people wouldn't have issues with.
Stacey Killian, October 2025
Sam is a brilliant trainer. My dog and I love her agility classes.
Alison Gvalda, October 2025

Sam has been amazing with our dog, Daisy and working through her separation anxiety. There is an end in sight and we may finally be able to leave her for a period of time. This will make a massive difference to our lifes.
Daisy adores Sam too!
Cheryl Palmer, October 2025
Because she is a simply wonderful dog trainer and an amazing human being . Sam picked me up and gave me confidence with my dog where there was none and helped me become the dog mum i am today. Without Sam my dog simply would not be here.

Sam has been amazing for Monty the 6 months old Labrador who just turn into a teenager, he has come on leaps and bounds since starting with her, his sniffing skills are improving every lesson and his confidence and ability continues to grow, he gets very excited with every lesson and enjoys seeing Sam every Friday evening.

Sam has the patience of a Saint! She is always willing to assist in any way she can whilst always being caring and thoughtful. ❤️
Sandra Meikle, October 2025
Sam is not only very knowledgeable and helpful as s trainer but also a very kind, warm and funny human being.
She always puts the dog's welfare first. E.g. she wouldn't make the dogs work out when it's too warm or when she notices that they are not feeling very well.

The lovely Sam is working with us and our spaniel Dudley. We are learning a lot and thoroughly enjoying our weekly sessions.
Gillian Lefroy, October 2025
Sam is a kind and knowledgeable dog trainer with a genuine love for dogs and the work she does. Having first attended puppy classes, then a 1to1 when my dog was going through adolescence and I just needed a bit of guidance ,she gives you the tools and confidence to continue with the training.
Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.
Stephanie Dickinson-Smith, September 2025
My puppy loves going to classes and is doing really well with the training. The trainer is very supportive and person-centred (or I should say, dog-centered) to the individual's differences and requirements.
Nicci Hastings, September 2025
The puppy classes have been a tremendous help for us & our rescue pup Sidney. Sam's teaching methods are friendly, informative, encouraging & engaging. She takes time to get to know both dog & owner. Shes always on hand to offer advice, help with specific issues & really cares for the pups/dogs she meets & trains.
Tilly Whittle, September 2025
Because they are superb at what they do and I think she should continue with the great work
Shirley Lewis, November 2023
My two puppies (at different times) attended Paws to Train and Behaviour puppy classes, they loved going and the training was excellent. Sam Fraser also came out to us on a bank holiday, without hesitation, when we had a behaviour problem with one of our dogs, a more dedicated and caring trainer would be difficult to find. Our new puppy starts lessons with her on Saturday.
Gemma Harding, October 2023
The helpline I needed when raising my puppy, couldn’t have done it without Sam. Would recommend 100% to all my friends.
Julie Crichton, October 2023

Sam is brilliant with my dog, who goes from calm to hyper in less than 60 seconds. She has worked with our dog’s personality to help her and us when she is out and about.
Paul Rudd, October 2023
We have been working with Sam for many months now and have had excellent results with our dogs, in only a few sessions we saw incredible improvement in our older dogs walking. Sam is a friendly and kind person, giving excellent advice about how to train your dogs and is a genuinely lovely person to work with. Each lesson has been informative and engaging and she has helped us learn how to meet the individual needs, both mental and physical, for both dogs.
Christine Magness, August 2023
Sam is very knowledgeable in her field of dog training and behaviour. My dog is very anxious, Sam makes sure she feels safe in her training environment and she now has the confidence to cope in lots of different situations.
Highly recommended.

Sam is kind and patient and has a genuine love of dogs.
The lessons are fun, but more importantly Sam gives you the tool to carry on with training in every day life.
Clare Cameron, August 2023
Sam is brilliant! We are first time puppy owners, and are greatly benefitting from Sam's patient, knowledgeable and supportive input. She takes time to get to know each dog, and to understand the owners, so that everyone gets the best out of training sessions and ongoing behavioural support if needed.
