Amanda is our go-to trainer for separation anxiety cases. With her background as a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) and her personal experience working through separation anxiety with her own dogs, she brings both professional expertise and genuine empathy to every family she works with. Her patient, methodical approach has helped many dogs build confidence and independence while giving their owners the tools they need to create lasting success.

Separation anxiety is a behavioral condition in which a dog experiences significant stress or panic when left alone or separated from their owner. Dogs struggling with separation anxiety may bark or howl excessively, pace, chew furniture, scratch at doors or windows, have accidents indoors, or engage in other destructive behaviors shortly after their owner leaves.

Amanda's technical and detail-oriented approach to training makes her an exceptional obedience trainer. She specializes in creating reliable, real-world obedience through precise off-leash heels, dependable recall, and road safety training, giving dogs and their owners the confidence to explore the world together with greater freedom.

Her calm, patient demeanor makes her especially effective with shy, sensitive, and cautious dogs, helping them build confidence at their own pace. At the same time, Amanda has the knowledge and experience to successfully work with large, stubborn, and explosive dogs, bringing structure, clarity, and consistency to even the most challenging cases. No matter the dog's temperament or personality, she is committed to developing clear communication and a trusting relationship that lasts well beyond the training program.
