✨Sammye's Dogs, Where Comfort Starts at the Door✨

Meet Cricket, an adorable 11-week-old Golden Retriever currently enrolled in our Puppy Start Right Board & Train program!

She’s here to get the best start in life through proper early socialization, potty training, crate training, and puppy-level basic obedience through positive reinforcement methods—all during her most important developmental stage- under 16 weeks.

When you drop off your dog in our home, you might notice these little plug-ins around. They're Dog Appeasing Pheromone (DAP) diffusers—a subtle but powerful way we help dogs feel calm and comfortable as they adjust to a new environment.

At Sammye’s Dogs, we go above and beyond to set your puppy up for success. For especially nervous dogs, we may also use calming collars or sprays on fabrics to provide that extra layer of comfort and security. These tools create a soothing environment so your pup can relax, settle in, and learn with confidence while in the our home.

Why do we take these extra steps? Because we know that when dogs feel safe, they thrive—and learning comes more naturally. And because we genuinely care how they feel.

Here's a peer-reviewed study showing how effective they can be:

This is just one of the many ways we support the emotional well-being of the dogs entrusted to us. Your puppy’s first training experience should be filled with comfort, confidence, and care—and Cricket is already off to a wonderful start! 🥰

We agree! Copied from a post I’ve seen:

“Delete if not allowed, but I need to vent about something I'm seeing on dogbook lately.

Service dogs should absolutely cost money.

Whether they are donated to someone through an organization and a sponsor pays for them, or a person fundraises, or just has the money up front- they are a finely tuned medical device and the person who raised, trained, fed, housed, loved and vetted that dog for the first two years of its life should absolutely be compensated for that time and knowledge. Not just reimbursed- COMPENSATED.

If you want to owner train that's one thing. But even owner trainers for their first service dog should be using the guidance of a trainer and good training should cost good money.

So often I see people post "I've decided on a service dog- purebred only and already trained/partially started/outside the Fab 4 and I have no budget so looking for charity or a lengthy payment plan" and when I politely comment that service dogs are and should be expensive and why not go the budget friendlier route of fundraising to hire a trainer to assess rescue/shelter/private rehome candidates to be trained at home I get told I'm a monster.

So AITA? I have zero issues with people having dogs donated to them AT ALL. What I'm saying is that someone needs to fund that program- private donor, the government, the recipient, a non for profit situation, etc. I just want people to realize these things animals aren't cheap to produce and the people who dedicate their lives to providing them deserve to make a living too.”
