Introduction: I work with the problems of the dog world - the anxious, shut down, aggressive, fearful, or just plain naughty. I am passionate about bringing happiness and freedom to the mindsets of the people and animals I work with. It gives me energy and joy to see a previously shut down dog decide to take a step in the direction of being the fun loving pup they were designed to be, or seeing an aggressive dog surrender their need to control and play with other dogs as nature designed them to. Often this means their people have to take steps for themselves and learn in the process, and i certainly learn from every client and every dog myself, so the entire system of Terra Paws is built on joy, nature, and self-actualization.

Hired on Thumbtack

Mandy has been working with our family and three dogs for over a year and is our top find on Thumbtack to-date. There aren't enough words to describe how happy we are with the progress our dogs continually make with her training. Our initial inquiry was for help on leash training and since our third dog was a Labrador puppy, we quickly found ourselves in over our heads. She is quick to offer helpful advice and our dogs love every time she comes over - even when she makes them do things that "suck" (like behave around the feisty kitty). She includes the family in any training session we like and is flexible with requests for new behaviors or trick training.

Details: 3 dogs or more • 0 - 1 years old • 2 - 10 years old • Small (16 - 25 lbs) • Medium (26 - 40 lbs) • Large (41 - 70 lbs) • 30 minutes (standard) • Prefer a private walk for my dog(s) alone • My home, venue, etc.

Mandy was a lifesaver! We were so frustrated with our furry family member, because we didn't know how to effectively communicate what we wanted from him in a way that he would understand. In just one session we learned enough to take charge, and with her helpful translations, we noticed positive results by literally the next day. Knowing what we know now, I feel very confident that by the time summer rolls around, our dog Hawkeye will be well behaved enough that people might ask if he's a service animal or not. That's how quickly we're getting results. I wouldn't hesitate to hire her again in a heartbeat if we wanted to work on a certain skill or trick but didn't know how to start the process or if we got frustrated with the lack of progress. It was less about dog training and more about training us how to "talk" to him. Do not hesitate to hire her! She will do everything in her power to help you achieve what you want and find a way to make it fun in the process!

Details: 2 - 10 years old • Large (41 - 70 lbs) • Private lessons • General obedience training • Leash pulling • Biting • Destructive behavior • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.

Amanda did a great job with our training session for our 1 year old Cockapoo Leon. In the past, we had spent our money on group training classes, which were informative, but lack the the type of hands on one on one training that we really needed. However, with Amanda, we were given the tools tailored to us to succeed with training our dog. We felt like Amanda brought a breath of fresh air to dog training, because implored us to be a little more instinctual with our approach in training Leon. Most importantly, we felt she trained us on HOW to train our dog. We worked on recall, loose leash walking, seizing jumping on guests that come over and also becoming more flexible with Leon diet(Our dog eats whenever he wants). We have made strides in all of the above in 1 week.

Details: 1 dog • 0 - 12 months old • Small (16 - 25 lbs) • Private dog training lessons • General obedience training • Leash pulling • The dog trainer travels to me

Mandy was amazing - she listened to our behavior problems as well cared to learn about the family dynamics. We did hands on trying for door behavior and leash walking as well as practical tool / techniques for other behaviors. I'm very excited to implement all I've learned and have a better behaved dog!

We hired Mandy to come to our home for a dog training session to work with our Chihuahua Boston mix, who is unpredictably aggressive to people and dogs. She was flexible with our schedule. She asked all of the right questions to fully understand our dog, and was great at reading his body language to get to the core reason for his behavior. We've been following her advice and have seen improvement in just a few days, and looking forward to continuing to teach him some better manners! Overall our experience was excellent, we highly recommend Mandy at Terra Paws.
