Ready to Start Training?

Initial Consultation - The Start to Your Training Journey
All dog training programs start with an Initial Consultation to learn about you and your puppy.

Welcoming a new puppy is exciting—but it can also come with a lot of questions! During this 90-minute in-home consultation, I’ll meet with you and your puppy to assess their behavior, chat about your training goals, and address any concerns you may have. You’ll learn how to proactively manage your puppy’s behavior, prevent common issues before they start, and build a strong foundation to set your puppy up on the right path.

Together, we’ll create a personalized training and management plan that fits your lifestyle and supports your puppy’s development. After our session, you’ll receive a follow-up email with a summary of what was covered, recommendations, and helpful resources to guide and support you every step of the way.

Initial Consultation: $195

Duration: 90 minutes

Virtual Zoom Consultation: $185

"What truly blew me away about Amanda was her ability to read dog body language. She anticipated my dogs' reactions before they even happened and adjusted the training accordingly. Her patience, expertise, clear communication, and openness made the session productive. She provided detailed notes and recommendations after our session and I could see a difference in my dogs right away!"

What are the benefits of Day Training for your puppy?

Convenience -Training takes place in your home and anywhere you want to take your pup. No dropping your puppy off at some board and train program or facility every day. You don't even have to be home when I'm training with your puppy. Let me come to you!

Fast & Effective - Get a jumpstart on your dog's training from a certified professional dog trainer where your dog spends most of their time, at home where you need results the most!

Stress Free - Your home is where your dog is most comfortable. Board and train programs take place outside of your puppy's environment which can often be stressful.

Enriching & Fun! - Know that while you're off at work, running errands or off having lunch with a friend, your puppy will be having fun training with me as they learn!
