What We Believe
Dog owners deserve to live peaceful lives with their companions. And while training a dog is hard, training a fearful, anxious, aggressive, or reactive dog is even harder. Red Daisy Dog Training owner and trainer Sam Martinez specializes in behavior modification and works with dogs from the inside out. Obedience training can only go so far if a dog doesn't know how to regulate their emotions. Sam uses all four quadrants of operant conditioning and a play-based approach to set owners up for success and help them achieve the best possible relationship with their dogs.

The Inspiration
We got Margot in October of 2020, and to say she changed my family's life would be an understatement. As an undersocialized, wild American Pit Bull Terrier, there definitely were times we felt we were in over our heads, even with me already being a professional dog trainer. Then, in December 2021, Margot was diagnosed with progressive retinal atrophy, a degenerative eye disease that causes total blindness usually within one to two years. As you can imagine, we've had our ups and downs, but with consistency and a play- and emotions-based approach to training, we've built an entirely new relationship. It was a given to me that I would name my business after her as the dog in my life who started it all. Margot as a derivative of the names Marguerite or Margarita means daisy, so Red Daisy Dog Training was born!
