Amy is wonderful! I can't say enough good things about her and the work she did with our puppy Ollie. She makes everything fit your pet and your situation. She finds creative solutions to unique issues. We love her!

We adopted a three year old chihuahua/Jack Russell mix named Ollie. To say we were struggling to train him is an understatement. We were at our wits end. Amy came in and saved the day with her positive reinforcement techniques, which I was convinced would never get through to our stubborn pup. I was wrong, approach was so loving and it worked. Our dog has made huge progress. We are so so so appreciative for Amy. I highly recommend her to friends and family!

Amy came to our home for several sessions to help us learn how to train our very stubborn French bulldog puppy. She gave us so many incredible tips and advice. Many of the things she taught us literally saved my sanity. I have shared her advice with friends who also have new puppies. I greatly appreciate that her training is positive and there are no harsh tactics used. Our puppy is potty trained now and we know how to keep her entertained. Amy taught us how to teach her some tricks as well which she already caught onto. I’m grateful for my decision to use Amy as our trainer.

Simply put Amy’s Canine Kindergarten is a the best there is...she’s trained my Jax since he was only 3 months old. In April he’ll be 2yrs. old. We’ve done basic training, good canine training and for the past year, Amy’s been training him to be my service dog. She’s truly a wonderful person that goes above and beyond for the betterment of our incredible companions. We are very grateful to Amy, for her continual dedication to Jax and me!
