Ampo Dog Training has made my life 100% better. In so so many ways possible. Kirsti Smith who runs this company has taken my dog Emerson and kept up his training whenever he has stayed with her. He lays down when I say down--he heels when I say heel. Now you must remember Emerson is a wild crazy child who is so fast and WAS uncontrollable UNTIl Kirsti took him and put some wonderful manners on him! My family said "WHERE DID THIS DOG COME FROM THIS NEW EMERSON!!??" I say "AMPO DOG TRAINING OF COURSE!!" Now only did she brush up on his training she helped me when I had a problem with my collar and went out of her way to handle everything for me. Whenever I called with questions she talked me through everything I needed to know, night or day. . To say nothing of giving me nutritional advice which is super important if you love your dog as I do.I personlly would never leave Emerson with anyone else--not even my children, Emerson is my life and I trust Kirsti Smith with his life! Emerson fell in love with her and didn't want to leave! So I said "Come Emerson" and off he went with me! You simply will jump with joy when your dog comes home to you. I can take Emerson anywhere now and he has a life now has him happy every single day. Me too! I will enclose a photo of my magic boy .Kirsti also took may photo s while she had him which wa ssuper fun! Trust me when I say going to Ampo Dog Training will the best thing yoiu ever did!

Kirsti helped my male shepherd with his confidence and helped my female shepherd with her aggression issues. She worked diligently with my husband, myself and our two dogs (we humans needed as much training as our beasties!).
We worked with the training collars and leash training. I can now walk both shepherds (about 200lbs of man's best friend) at the same time.
Kirsti helped bring stability back to our dogs and our home ❤

Kirsti worked with both of my German Shepherds. Week after week, there were so many changes. Changes that I thought would never be possible. I highly recommend her for all your training needs.
