About Us
Our Mission
At Grounded Canines, we help dogs and their humans find calm, clarity and connection. Through structured pack walks, personalised training, puppy development and practical guidance, we create confident dogs who can thrive in the real world, not just in controlled environments.
Every service is built on balance. Combining movement, enrichment, and clear guidance, so dogs return home settled, fulfilled and better equipped to navigate everyday life. Whether you’re raising a puppy, or simply want your dog living a more fulfilled life, we’re here to support you every step of the way.
Confident dogs. Connected owners. Built on balance.
Services
We created Grounded Canines to give dogs meaningful, enriching experiences alongside clear guidance, consistency, and structure — while also empowering owners with the skills and confidence to enjoy life with their dog.
This is more than a service. It’s a partnership built on balance.
Why Choose Grounded Canines
At Grounded Canines, everything we do is built on balance — balancing structure with compassion, guidance with understanding, and enrichment with safety. We don’t believe in quick fixes or one-size-fits-all approaches. We believe in doing things properly, thoughtfully and with your dog’s long-term wellbeing at the centre.

Lizzie Edwards,
Owner of Frankie
‘Sam has been supporting Frankie and my family for the past two years. Her calm nature and grounded approach to our unique challenges has meant the world to our family. Frankie adores Sam and comes back from her pack walks relaxed, happy and pooped! The perfect combination - I can’t recommend her enough.’
Meredith Patterson
Owner of Chewy, Lulu & Disney
‘Sam has an incredible way with animals. Every time we see her my dogs are so excited to see her, and it’s obvious how comfortable and happy they are around her. She’s calm and clearly understands dogs in a way that builds instant trust (from both pets and owners). I trust Sam completely with my dogs, and I know she brings care, and genuine love for animals into everything she does.’
Laura Staples
Owner of Azula
‘Sam has looked after our GSP many times when we’ve been away, and we trust her completely. Our dog was previously very nervous around new dogs and people, but every time she spends time with Sam, she comes back noticeably more confident, which is a true testament to the trust she has in Sam and the calm, supportive environment she creates. She takes the dogs on beautiful walks and always provides proactive communication and the best photo updates, giving us total peace of mind.
Her dog Coal is one of the most well-behaved dogs we’ve ever met and is a wonderful role model for dogs of all ages. He’s a clear reflection of the time, care, and commitment Sam puts into training and working with animals. We couldn’t recommend her more highly’
