Amy does not hesitate to accept very powerful and challenging dogs. Zeus became trained to go from a “down” command to exhibiting the protection behavior exhibited in a very short period of time. Behavioral therapy is an art and the application of techniques requires extensive skill with “how and when” each tailored technique is delivered to ensure maximum learning. Amy excels at the “art of application”. I also have a female Doberman that does not have the same traits as Zeus and she was able to readily identify her strengths and weaknesses and apply the most beneficial teaching methods. Amy focuses on and excels in the use of positive reinforcement but also understands some dogs may need other methods to achieve your end goal. My Dobes Zeus and Zeena are two totally different dogs and it was fascinating to watch Amy adjust her approach to teaching them to achieve maximum results in a short period of time. But most of all, both dogs had fun while doing it! I can say with confidence that Amy has the knowledge and skills to help you with any of your training needs!

We were at our wits end with our brand new puppy, Harley. He was out of control, jumping and biting not only our family, but guests who came to our home. Our veterinarian predicted his weight would eventually exceed one hundred pounds, so we knew we needed some help. In one training session, Amy was able to teach us techniques that two months of reading puppy training books and searching online help sites could not. From the minute she walked into our home, Amy was in control. Our puppy was very determined not to be trained, but Amy’s persistence and techniques taught him that he no longer ruled the house. Our puppy is now 10 months old and weighs close to 90 pounds and we are so grateful for Amy’s help. We can now invite guests over without worrying that Harley will knock them over or chew them to pieces. Thanks Amy!
