Amy is the best dog trainer we’ve ever come across and we’ve tried everywhere! She immediately identified the problem and began giving us the tools to fix it. She was patient and understanding, she explained our dogs body language and her reasoning at every step. She had no problem with our dogs’ size (65lb) or breed (Pit/Great Dane) and was very knowledgeable about our dogs’ fears. She gave us hope that our dog won’t live her life afraid and the tools to fix it!

Amy is absolutely fantastic! We first contacted her to try and correct my dog's aggressive behavior towards strangers. Before the first house visit, we talked on the phone and I explained to her how my 2 dogs typically acted when new people came to our house, and the types of behaviours my dogs were showing. We also talked about our previous experiences with other trainers, and what I wanted to get from the training sessions. Amy was very clear with the instructions we needed to follow before she entered our house to meet the dogs, and by following those instructions we were able to prevent any incidents. Amy explained why our dog was aggressive and the effect that the behavior of my second dog was having on the aggressive one. She suggested a few tools we could use to better handle the situation, like a muzzle and a slip leash, and we found that they helped us control our dogs much better. We en ended up working with amy for 6 hours, and she was great! She explained to us why the dogs behaved the way they did, and what we humans needed to do to fix it. She even travelled to Hunstville to meet us for a training session there. Overall, our dogs are better behaved, and we even had ca. 10 people at home one time, and my dog who was considered aggressive did not even bark at the new people in the house. We are very pleased we found Amy, and we thank her for all the work she did with us. Our lives are better because of Amy, we reccomend her 100%

Amy was very informative and professional. I noticed an immediate change in my dogs behavior and learned how to maintain those changes. I look forward to our future sessions.

Amy was amazing, in just one session we learned so much on how to get our rescue dog to be more obedient and help with him chasing our cats. Our dog already learned so much!
