Amanda Cockrell
Specialities Include:
-
A behavioral condition where a dog becomes stressed or upset when left alone or separated from their owner. Dogs with separation anxiety may bark excessively, whine, pace, chew furniture, scratch doors, have accidents indoors, or act destructively shortly after their owner leaves. These behaviors are usually caused by fear and distress rather than disobedience, and they often happen because the dog has become overly dependent on constant companionship or feels insecure when alone.

Amanda has been working in the field of behavior modification for over 10 years. She has a strong foundation in behavior science and hands-on experience working with dogs with a wide range of needs. With a background as a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), she brings a deep understanding of learning theory and behavior change into every training plan.
Her journey into dog training began after navigating severe separation anxiety and reactivity with her own dogs, giving her personal insight into how overwhelming behavior challenges can feel. That experience shapes her compassionate, practical approach, focused on ethical methods, clear communication, and helping dogs and their people build real trust and confidence together.
