We found Miss Amanda by chance one day through word of mouth! She has since been a total blessing to our family and four legged baby! My boyfriend and I became parents to Belle, a German Shepard, in July when Belle was 11 weeks old! Amanda has been working with us since Belle was 12 weeks! We were taught the basics, plus how to behave in public as well as with other animals! We recommend alpha dog training whenever we can! Amanda is also the only person we will trust when we go out of town! She loves and treats your dog like you love him/her and that to us is worth it all!

For the past year, Amanda has been our extremely spoiled & separation anxiety prone labradoodle's home away from home when we travel. I feel that she & Nemo have bonded & that he truly enjoys his stays with her. He can exercise off leash like he does at home, interact with other dogs, & play with her human friends. The pictures & videos she sends daily assure me that he is receiving excellent care.

Amanda is an amazing dog lover and trainer! She has helped us so much with our little mini-shnauzer who has some aggressive/bossy tendencies and who we hadn't done a great job of socializing. We've had a few training sessions with her that have made a huge difference. We've also now boarded our fur baby with Amanda twice, and he adores her and loves going to doggy camp in the woods. It's always hard to leave him when we go out of town and can't take him, but Amanda's emails and texts with photos and videos let me know he's having a blast (way more fun than his daily routine with us). It's also great to know that he's getting well supervised socialization and his training is getting reinforced. I cannot recommend Amanda highly enough for training and boarding!! I drive over 30 minutes each way, and it is more than worth it.

Amanda is absolutely fantastic!!! She is a true dog lover and when your pet is with her you can relax knowing your fur baby is getting both the care and affectionate fun he or she needs. I was concerned about my little guys being around other dogs because i did not know how they would respond. During their weekend visit, i received numerous pictures and videos from Amanda showing them playing with other dogs and even sharing their favorite bed with their new furry friends. It was obvious she was spending quality time with the dogs all day. They even learned some new manners which is a big benefit of boarding your dog with a highly experienced and qualified dog trainer. I'm extremely happy that i chose Amanda to watch my pets and i know you will be too.
