What people have asked about this business.
How well do you work with middle-age dogs? Our six year old rescue is pretty traumatized and would benefit from one-on-one!
Dogs of ALL ages are welcome in [most] classes and dogs of ANY age can benefit from one-on-one private sessions, if that's what you're looking for. We've helped MANY rescues with varying degrees of trauma over the years! Please feel free to stop in and discuss your needs with our team or give a call and let us talk you through the services we have to offer.

When we first got our puppy, we were completely in over our heads. We didn't know how to train him, and were especially frustrated with not being able to take him outside before his vaccines.
We met multiple people who directed us to Amanda Gagnon's puppy socials, and started taking our pup 1-2x/week. The change in him was quite noticeable, and he is so social now! He loves all other dogs and humans too. We loved AGT so much that we continued on with their Puppy Kindergarten and Puppy II classes. Additionally, we took him to their "puppy day school" where they take them for 3 hours to teach them all sorts of fun things. My puppy absolutely worships one of the trainers in particular (Gwen) and I am convinced that she could call his name from a mile away and he would run to her. I can't recommend Amanda Gagnon Dog Training enough!

This review isn’t about the amazing trainer we use (Sam). He’s excellent. I dropped my 4 month old puppy off at the puppy social, and when I picked him up, he was panting/overheated and I asked if he had any water within the hour and didn’t receive a clear answer. The next day he was feeling off. I took him to the vet and they said he had kennel cough. If you have a puppy, I would be careful about the puppy socials.

Awesome puppy socials :-) every dog in New York should go but be prepared to actively engage and "helicopter parent" your dog during the sessions for the best results.
