Samantha is the founder and head trainer at Blackhawk K-9 LLC. She started dog training when she felt helpless with her own dog, Kaiser. Kaiser started exhibiting aggression and in her search for help, she found her love for dog training! From there she started Blackhawk K-9 so that she can continue to help other dog owners!

Bailey began her journey into the dog world by purchasing her first German Shepherd, Kaiser. She began to train him to be a service dog along with other various types of training that was heavily influenced by IPO. While learning about dog training, Bailey was developing her professional career in nonprofit management. Bailey has been dedicating her life to serving the community either through dog rescues or therapeutic horseback riding opportunities.
