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.

I have worked with Amanda Gagnon with my new rescue pitbull Macy. I have worked on 1-1 training and done the dayschools. This has been invaluable to me, as a first time dog owner, and with a high energy and challenging rescue. My trainer offered valuable training to ME the owner as well as Macy. She is patient, caring and incredibly knowledgeable. Our sessions are definitely equal parts human therapy and dog training - which is so important. In our first week of ownership she helped me organize a care plan for Macy when I had to go out of town - and she didn’t even know us that well! She has helped me find a reliable and caring regular dogwalker and helped me navigate a seemingly endless stream of health issues and complications. She also loves Macy and has helped her get to the point where she can play with other dogs (mostly!). The dayschools offer a supervised play opportunity, which was critical to me having a bully breed who likes to play rough. They have taught her how to moderate her play style and made me so much more comfortable taking her out and about. Also, she LOVES going to school and then promptly passes out for 3 hours on return. So it gives me an all day win.

Amanda Gagnon Dog Training is an invaluable resource! I am thrilled to have consulted with different members their staff over the course of Lucky Bambino's four and a half years with us. The attached photo shows Lucky after a recent private session with awesome trainer, Michelle Formato. I always come away from our dog training sessions a better human :)
Thank you, Amanda Gagnon Dog Training!

I took an APDT hosted class on puppy classes with Amanda. I've been running puppy classes for a few years now, but I still feel like I learned a ton! Thanks for a great class, Amanda! I have lots of new ideas to implement in my classes going forward!
