Meet Sam!
OUR HEAD TRAINER.
Hi, my name is Sam Snell, owner and operator of Snell’s Innovative Training. I was raised in a family that is very passionate about dogs. My grandmother shows, breeds, and does hunt tests with her line of labrador retrievers, and my dad and uncle run an online dog supply company, Gun Dog Supply. Growing up going to dog shows with my grandmother and going to field trials with my dad, it is no surprise that my first word was dog. Dogs were and still are a central part in the life of my whole extended family. I have always had a love for all animals as well as a love for helping people, and I always wanted to find a way to combine those two passions of mine. By late high school, I was pretty sure I wanted a career in dog training.
Today, I'm a double-certified professional dog trainer, with qualifications from Starmark Academy and CATCH Canine Trainers Academy. I got these certifications after graduating with a psychology degree with a focus in animal behavior from The University of Mississippi. My experience includes working at dog training, boarding, and grooming facilities, extensive volunteer work at local animal shelters, as well as working my way up to head trainer at a local dog training facility in Nashville prior to opening up my own dog training business.
Here at Snell’s Innovative Training, we recognize that each dog and owner learns differently. We pride ourselves in custom tailoring each of our programs to give you and your dog the best outcome possible, with long lasting results.
