Amanda was wonderful with my little feist/whippet mix who we boarded at Atlas Canine for 4 weeks. Amanda helped my dog become more confident and taught me the balance of letting my dog have more freedom and autonomy in order to achieve greater success in my dog’s training. I am so thrilled with my dog’s success with Atlas Canine

If you need a good & honest dog trainer I totally recommend Atlas Canine PNW! I had my dog there twice now one for potty/obedience training & one for Ecollar training. I was updated daily with pictures & videos and her “going home” sessions after training is very informative & helpful. My dog was being “terrible” and it was a constant battle with him & she completely changed him for the better, I actually love this dog instead of always being frustrated with him. He is so SO much better, listens & is an amazing dog to bring places. He listens so well & has the best manners. I can’t recommend her enough! She is your go to for dog training, trust me!! She is also really affordable which is a huge plus for all the work and time she puts into the dogs! She is the best!!!! Thank you for training Remi! He turned out to be the best dog I’ve ever had!

Amanda was great with my Australian Shepherd, Chase. Amanda taught me how important it is to allow Chase to be a dog. I was looking for perfection and I ended up with the perfect companion. Chase is less stressed ,barks a lot less and stops on command when he is alerting me, he does not pull on leash like he did before, most amazing he’s off leash trained ! I can now trust him as he would run off and was not consistent before His board and Train with Amanda. Amanda sent pictures and video almost daily and explained techniques along the way with home care plan. I would highly recommend the 3 week Board and Train with Amanda.

Dropped off my crazy unruly 10 month old bulldog and picked up a completely new dog! My puppy has manners, has learned to chill out, and learned so many necessary safety skills like waiting, not bolting out doors, and recall. Amanda kept me up to date every day with informative videos and pictures explaining how and why she’s teaching things so that I had all the knowledge when I took my dog home. This has overall been a wonderful experience and cannot recommend it enough!

We brought our 1 year old Boston Terrier, Hooper, to Amanda last spring . He stayed with her for the Board and Train program and we saw a marked improvement in the little guy's engagement, attention span and ability to chill. Amanda is such a patient trainer and spent a lot of time working with Hooper, sending instructional videos and clips of him exploring the neighborhood and learning new skills. She stresses the importance of continuing his training once he returns home which is really important to his long-term success. She also makes herself available for follow-up sessions which has been very valuable to us. Thanks, Amanda for helping us understand our little guy's needs and giving us the skills to make us better pet parents!
