SAM’S FAVORITE HOBBIES INCLUDE: TAKING HER PERSONAL DOGS ON HIKES, KAYAKING, DOG SPORTS, AND OF COURSE, WATCHING STAR WARS.

OWNER OF MILLENNIUM K9, SAM FERRY. I DISCOVERED MY LOVE FOR TRAINING DOGS AT A VERY YOUNG AGE - 0FTEN I FOUND IT EASIER TO UNDERSTAND THEM BETTER THAN HUMANS. I STARTED TRAINING DOGS AT A DOG REHABILITATION RESCUE WHERE MANY DOGS HAD A VERY SMALL CHANCE OF ADOPTION WITHOUT TRAINING. AS I PROGRESSED IN BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION, I EVENTUALLY LANDED A JOB WITH A NATIONWIDE DOG TRAINING FRANCHISE AS AN APPRENTICE TRAINER. THERE, I SPENT FIVE YEARS - EARNING MYSELF THE TITLE OF TRAINING DIRECTOR OF OHIO . AFTER HAVING PUT FIVE YEARS OF SKILL-BASED LEARNING UNDER MY BELT AND SERVING OVER 1,OOO+ CUSTOMERS - I DECIDED IT WAS TIME TO START PURSUING MY OWN VENTURE, HENCE THE ORIGINS OF MILLENNIUM K9. I WANTED TO CREATE TRAINING PROGRAMS THAT TRULY CAPTURED HOW I BELIEVE DOGS SHOULD BE TRAINED- AT THEIR OWN PACE AND IN A WAY THAT MAKES SENSE TO EACH DOGS UNIQUE PERSONALITY. I TRAIN EACH OF MY OWN DOGS A LITTLE DIFFERENT SO WHY WOULD YOUR DOGS BE DIFFERENT? OVER THE YEARS, I HAVE BRANCHED OUT INTO DIFFERENT NICHES OF DOG TRAINING, INCLUDING DOG SPORTS, PROTECTION WORK, SERVICE WORK, SCENT WORK & MORE. I SPEND MOST OF MY FREE TIME WORKING MY PROTECTION DOG (SOLO) THROUGHOUT THE DAY AND ON THE WEEKENDS AT A WORKING DOG CLUB IN MICHIGAN. I AM WORKING TOWARDS TITLING SOLO CURRENTLY IN A SPORT CALLED PSA.

MY BIGGEST GOAL AS A TRAINER IS FINDING WHAT WORKS BEST FOR EACH AND EVERY DOG AND SUCCESSFULLY TRANSFERRING THAT SKILL TO THE OWNERS. DOG TRAINING CAN BE OVERWHELMING- LETS MAKE IT FUN!
