Amanda is an excellent trainer for all types and ages of canines. If you have a reactive pup, she’s the best around. She teaches you the value of positive reinforcement and the dogs all love her. My first dog with Amanda (reactive) loved her so much, I honestly felt guilty about taking her home after class. Whatever you need as far as dog training, Amanda does it best. I heartily recommend her services. Almost everything I’ve learned about the canine world is due to her classes and advice. Five stars isn’t enough so here are some more: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Love the variety of training classes and day camp. Our dog loves to go to class and day camp. The trainer combines training skills and timely feedback to help you work and support your training with your pup.

5/5

We’ve taken several classes as well as Day Camp sessions (Beyond Basics, Teen Manners and Off Leash Conrol). George absolutely loves going to Sidekick and adores Amanda. Training sessions are effective and simple to follow with plenty of opportunity to take the learned skills home to work on throughout the week.

Jenn is the absolute best! She is so professional and kind with our puppy. She provided so much support as the goals of training pivoted from helping with patio behaviors to helping with anxiety. Sidekick provides daily updates from doggie home school and we loved getting pictures as well as videos for us to continue to work on after our course came to a close. We already miss Jenn and know that our puppy does too!
