She really cared for our dog and showed her the respect and love that our family gives Molly. We look forward to continue working with her in the future!

I trended the first group training session which consisted of exercises of slamming a door on your dog's head to keep them from trying to run through as well as using your knee to keep your dog from jumping up on you when they see you. During the session as we were waiting for an opportunity to practice slamming our dog's head in a door, the owner Amy Ammon singled me out (from pop a line of 15 people), approached me and in one of the most condescending interactions I've ever had with another human being berated me and said, "no one is going to do this for you." Yes, Amy. I'm fat and when I take my dog for a walk (or training), I generally don't wear a business suit or even Lulu Lemon athleisure. I'm sorry if my comportment is detestable for you. But you clearly need professional psychological help and have exactly zero business running an animal training facility. Needless to say I did not return for any addition sessions. When I asked for a refund they refused to give me even a prorated refund citing that I was clearly an unfit pet owner. Please for the sake of humanity, the universe, and your pet's, NEVER patronize this establishment.

I have been training my dogs with Amy, Amiable dog training for many years now. I love the…read moreconcepts, training guidance and support given during each lesson whether it be group, private or even zoom, I have always learned something new and had great success with my breeds from Weimaraner, Chesse's and now Bouvier de Flandres X 3 now. I last trained this past summer and continue to use email and text for advice and guidance. Amy will help you get the best success from your dog according to their demeanor, behaviors and training needs. Treats can be used however, it's the trainer's choice and not necessary. What I love is that the dogs are trained with positive praise and reinforcement rather than treats if desired. They learn to respond to your voice and reward of attention rather than being tied to a bag of treats. Corrective collars are used when recommended but not required and not cruel or used for punishment. They are just that. Corrective, a reminder and help with communication. Amy explains and instructs on behaviors and rationale behind the dogs behavior which help you understand your dogs motives and needs more. She really spends individual time with real time feedback to clients. During each class, you will be working with your dog along side others the entire time with short instructions/demonstrations from Amy which means you get more real time working with your pup rather than listening to lengthy instructions and little time to work. I've really enjoyed the classes and have had great results. We tend to take hour dogs with us on many occasions, out to dinner, camping, parks, events and hotels and get much attention from others on how well behaved and comfortable the dogs are in their environment. Kids and adults alike may approach them as well as other dogs, even crabby ones on occasion and they are nonreactive and friendly. I will continue to train every year to keep the dogs engaged! I highly recommend amiable dog training to beginners and advanced as well. I also recommend for a consult for specific behaviors and wellness. Thank you Amiable Dog training for all you do!

When it comes to dogs this guy rocks it! He turned our very troubled little border collie around,…read moreand made him shine with strangers. With dogs with problem behavior John starts with home training sessions. If your dog needs a little extra jump start, he can do in home training at his place, which is phenomenal. After a few sessions it was clear that Chappy needed a complete makeover to ever conquer his fears, and anxieties, and he went off to Boot Camp for Errant Border Collie's at the Earle family home. After a week, Chappy came home a happy, healthy dog, with a complete new outlook on strangers, and my little guy has never looked back. My dog will now approach strangers in public, with his tail wagging and enjoy letting them love on him. This is a complete turn around from the dog that would greet attention from strangers, with barking and growling previously. And then the fabulous thing is, once John teaches you enough to be at an intermediate level of handling your dog, you are invited to attend any of the multiple socialization classes he holds weekly, where you get to meet in a public place like a park, or a store, and walk and hang out John, and often his lovely family, with other dog owners and their dogs, and practice what you have learned while teaching your dog to be out in public, hanging out, not making a fuss, about the other dogs, or people, or any of the stimulation around them. In attending classes I have met people whose dogs John has turned around, with every kind of problem, dogs with dog aggression, fear biters, separation anxiety, you name it. And they all say the same thing, "My dog went from being a problem to being a great dog to be around." And he is equally good with all breeds, I have seen him manage a young Pit Bull with dog aggression issues, who was in intensive home training with him, who walked right next to my dog on our walk during socialization class, without a peep. Then the cool thing is, after a while you will meet the owner at class, and John has trained them to handle their dogs, so that they are confident, comfortable and in control, and enjoying their pet with their new skills. I have also met new puppy owners, and seen him train puppies, of people who are smart enough to get training on the front end before any problems develop. In particular, I had the chance to watch one Australian Shepherd go from an adorable little fluff ball, who was a handful, to an incredible, delightful, well trained, adult dog. One last note, Chappy, and all of the dogs that I have seen at class that have worked with John for awhile, love, love, love him. My boy goes nuts when we get to training, and cannot wait to shower John with love and kisses~ which John returns. When you see him interact with dogs, there is no doubt, you are lucky enough to have found the trainer, with an incredible ability to connect with your dog, and the intuition to know what they need, and to work with them, and you to get the best out of life with your pet.

By committing to his program our two rescue dogs have been completely changed, and the stress level in our home has decreased when it comes to the integration of our dogs in our family. It was worth the strict parameters that were set for the dogs, early on in the training. We now see the reasoning behind it all and looking back are thankful that we adhered to the training rules. John has given us the tools to deal with a fear based dog as well as his "instigator" brother. We now know how to communicate to them in the way that they understand. We have dogs that are much calmer and much more enjoyable and now can take them on adventures and road trips without a second thought. John is a Godsend to those who choose to rescue. He has the most amazing and intuitive read on canines that I have ever seen. He started as our dog trainer but he and his family have now become our friends and we couldn't imagine not having them in our lives.

We enrolled her in his essentials class when we first adopted her and it was so helpful! This particular class is NOT treat based (thankfully for us) and dogs are encouraged to learn commands both on and off leash. It is a group class of usually 7-10 dogs and their owners and Todd works with his own dogs to show how the commands should be taught and how the dogs should respond to the owners commands. During the summer, he takes class outside and in the winter he has a great space for training. He also assigns "homework" which includes instructions on how to encourage training at home and in unfamiliar places. We also enrolled Athena in doggy day care at his facility and she LOVES going. Every time we say she is going to see Todd or to daycare, she gets so excited. She enrolled in daycare when she was around 6 months old and she has socialized well with other dogs and she gets training while she is there! Todd also offers grooming on site which you can request is done while the dog is at daycare. His pricing is reasonable and his hours are great and work well with our schedule. He is such a lover of dogs and has really made Athena a wonderful and obedient pup! We will always bring our dogs to Todd!
