About On Your Way Dog Training

Force-free training in Muscatine

On Your Way Dog Training serves Muscatine, Iowa, and the surrounding area with force-free dog training that aims for long-lasting results and a stronger bond between dog and owner. Trainer Samantha "Sam" Roling, KPA CTP, grew up on a farm in North Iowa, earned an Animal Science degree from Iowa State University and moved to Muscatine in 2020. After adopting her dog Joe in 2022 she pivoted to dog training, worked at local daycare Zoomiez and completed the Karen Pryor Academy professional dog trainer program to become a certified training partner. The name comes from her mom's encouragement: "you're on your way girl!"

Services

Private training brings in-home sessions for obedience and behavior adjustment, with personalized plans, homework between sessions and regular feedback, all using positive reinforcement. Puppy Prep, for puppies 5 months and under, covers basic obedience, preventing behavior problems and what socialization really means, done without punishment. Online video consults offer a flexible option for a single stubborn issue or a push in the right direction.

Approach

Sam describes her methods as force-free and fear-free, using rewards-based techniques that build trust and confidence.
