Coulter K9

Meet the Trainer
Sam Coulter, Owner & Lead Trainer

As an Accredited Professional Dog Trainer based in Calgary, AB - I’ve been training and working with dogs since 2014. I realized my passion after adopting my dog, Angel, and completed the PetSmart training program shortly after receiving my training accreditation and offering private training and leading classes in store. Over the years I have expanded my knowledge further, learning from other industry-leading professionals, countless hours of hands on training, and continued education. Combined with experience from raising my own high drive dog, I launched Coulter K9 with the mission to help others achieve the best possible relationship with theirs! Since then we have worked with countless dogs, their owners, and various rescue foundations bringing them professional support and training. 

I believe there is no one size fits all approach to training, every dog is unique in their individual needs and personality which is why I fall under the "balanced" approach. However, with my background being in reward based training, I train with a very heavy focus on positive reinforcement. While at the same time recognizing the value of having an open toolbox and utilizing a combination of training approaches when necessary, I am able to asses your situation from all angles and offer a truly customized training plan. 

With my passion and love for dogs, and commitment to continuous improvement; I will always provide the best service possible to my clients, Helping You Find Balance!
