When I first adopted Sophie, my white shepherd, she hadn't been socialized. Although she was…read moretreated well by her rescue foster, she was never exposed to the outside world. As a result, she exhibited the beginnings of fear aggression, which I understand is common in German Shepherds. My vet recommended immediate puppy school and I chose Amanda because of her reputation for being upbeat and training in a positive manner. Whelp (snicker), turns out I picked the right trainer. Amanda knew how to help Sophie develop confidence and she also watched her carefully for signs of fatigue and stress during class. Sophie thrived under Amanda's training. I swear Sophie would say (in doggie language), "Pick me! Pick me!" whenever Amanda needed a volunteer pup to show the class a new trick. She LOVED puppy school. She LOVES Amanda. Amanda uses clicker training and other methods of positive reinforcement so you can toss out that awful pinch collar and teach with gentleness and humor. No more feeling guilty about using those harsh training methods that were the norm for so many years. And you'll have fun. And your pup will have fun. And you'll enjoy a whole new relationship with your best friend. I can't recommend Amanda highly enough. She's great.

Amanda was a great trainer and we had absolutely darling puppies in our puppy class. She was very…read morehelpful with troubleshooting issues we were having with our puppy. The location was great- less than five minutes off the highway and beautifully located. The building we were training in wasn't heated so that was a bummer on colder days. The space was large enough to accommodate the number of dogs in class. She offered classes that grew with your puppy which was also nice. The classes were moderately priced and affordable for what is available in the area.

After our local training place closed we were looking for other options and committed to positive reinforcement training. Unfortunately a lot of trainers use aversives, especially with large strong dogs. We were so excited to find Julia, and after our meet & greet we were confident she was a good choice. Julia did a 2 week board & train with our dog while we were traveling, mainly focusing on leash skills and practicing calm behavior around exciting things. We noticed an immediate improvement, but have also been continuing to work on the training at home after our follow up. I'm happy to report that we are continuing to see improvement using Julia's methods.

We've been working with Julia for a couple now and saw results almost immediately! The aggression is completely gone and our home is much calmer. She obviously knows her stuff! I highly recommend her to anyone who needs a little (or a lot!) of help with their fur babies. And the fact that she comes to our home is so helpful!

Mandy's training methods are exceptional and her communication during the process is outstanding. We received daily updates and videos which helped us see Hugo's progress and help us as we missed our pup. Her hand off training for the Hugo's humans was excellent and we have kept up with what he learned. Hugo integrated back home great and we are keeping up with the training. Writing this with the highest recommendation and so grateful we found Mandy.
