Amanda Gagnon Dog Training

We can't thank AGDT (and Gwen Moyer, particularly), for all their fabulous work and dedication to helping train and socialize puppies and puppy parents during the pandemic. We adopted a fearful pup at the beginning of the pandemic, and are so thankful for the puppy socials offered at AGDT, which got our girl off on the right paw! Our pup loved going there, so we kept up -- attending puppy day school, adolescent group training, and we did some one on one sessions with Gwen, as well. Today, our 18 month old girl is thriving and loving life, and it is without a doubt in part due to the work that was put in by Gwen and the AGDT team (training us as well as our pup). We grateful to have worked with them, particularly during a pandemic and in SUCH difficult circumstances. As a side note, Gwen is amazing at her job -- she has a fantastic ability to read dogs, understand what they need, and develop positive reinforcement practices to get solid results. She is also just a joy of a person to work with -- we always had so much fun during our sessions! We have since moved out of state, but we will always be grateful to the AGDT fam, and wish them lots of success as they grow and continue to work with doggos in NYC -- they deserve it!

This review is extremely overdue. There are not enough wonderful things I could say about Amanda Gagnon and their trainers. I honestly think I would be lost without them. We've taken puppy kindergarten, puppy day school, adolescent school and soon will be doing fun with agility. The trainers are professional, kind, personable, compassionate, caring and most importantly my 10 month old Poppy LOVES it there. She pulls me down the street when she knows where we are going. Which admittedly is not good leash behavior but she just loves it. The trainers take the time to answer your questions, give tips and tricks to help you through the every changing process that comes with training your pup. Their office staff is quick and responsive, always helpful. I recommend Amanda Gagnon to everyone I meet! Couldn't be happier that Poppy and I found them. Thank you!

Staff is so knowledgeable and passionate. Always go above and beyond to answer my questions and tailor the training specifically for my dog whether it’s around separation anxiety, resource guarding, socialization and more! Ive bumped into some staff at the dog run on several occasions and they’ve always been so friendly, outgoing and willing to help even on their off time :) My dog and I love the staff and our experience so far!
