About Big Leap of Faith Dog Training & Services

Big Leap of Faith offers group obedience training, private training, behavioral modification, and board & train. My approach to dog training is simple: Use the method that best suits the dog and owner. Every dog is different so the type of training and their expectations should also be different. Positive and balanced dog training creates enthusiastic, happy dogs. Training with rewards allows me to have a “complete toolbox” and the ability to train the widest range of clients and their dogs. All classes are taught using rewards, praise, and lots of fun!

First I reached out to them via their website to inquire about their board and train program, no response. About 3 weeks later I tried sending an email and it came back as undeliverable so I decided to call. I left a message. 2 weeks after my phone message and still nothing. I guess they don't need my business

Left a message and they never returned the call so I guess we really don't know how good they are.

We scheduled an appointment for our 3 year old lab/whippet mix, Boomer. Boomer has developed some anxiety since our first child arrived and has made him tense and protective with some visitors. Amber's recommendations have already proven effective and we are excited for Boomer! Amber seems to think of all the angles including training the dog, training the dog owner, things to think about, and things to avoid. We will definately use Big Leap of Faith again in the future!

We did a 21 day board and train for our 8mo old Bullmastiff, Amber kept us informed with pictures and videos. Its unbelievable how much our pup learned in 21 days. This morning, I did exactly what I was asked on our last day of training, we walked, practiced stay and come, went to empty dog park, THEN....dog came. she greeted owner on all 4. played hard and another dog came, she greeted that owner on all 4, she slept in her kennel and enjoyed it. Being a dog owner is becoming so much fun vs the stress I had because I had an untrained dog. I highly recommend BLOF!!!!!

I can not say enough great things about BLOF Dog Training. I have had issues with my dog becoming reactive when we participate in indoor classes, so I love the fact that during Spring/Summer/Fall her classes are held outdoors. There are not a lot of opportunities like this. Amber is an amazing trainer and takes the time to help her students. I have learned a great deal about training from her, she has set me up with all the tools I need to successfully train my dog. I highly recommend Amber's classes!
