Training that starts with understanding
I believe every dog is an individual and not a problem to be fixed, but a living creature doing their best with what they know. Every dog is an individual, and every owner has their own unique challenges.
I don't believe in one-size-fits-all training or making dogs behave through fear or intimidation.
Instead, I take the time to listen, understand what is happening and create a training plan that works for both you and your dog.
Because the best training isn't about having a "perfect" dog.
It's about building a relationship where you both feel confident.
Why choose Dog Training with Amanda?
Because dog training is about more than teaching your dog a few cues.
When you ask for help with your dog, you don't just need someone to tell you what to do.
You need someone who listens.
Someone who understands that behind every barking dog, pulling puppy or stressful walk is a dog and owner trying to navigate life together.
My approach is simple:
Understand first. Train second.
I take the time to understand your dog, your challenges and what life looks like for you, so we can create a realistic training plan that works in the real world.
Kind training. Real Support. No judgement.
🐾 Every dog is an individual
There is no one-size-fits-all approach. Your dog has their own personality, experiences and challenges, so training should be tailored to them.
🐾 You will understand the why
I won't just show you what to do. I'll help you understand why your dog behaves the way they do, so you feel confident supporting them.
🐾 Training that fits everyday life
Perfect behaviour in a training hall means very little if it doesn't work when you're trying to walk through the park, welcome visitors or enjoy your day together.
🐾 A judgement-free space
Whether you have a puppy who is turning your life upside down or a dog who struggles around others, you can ask for help without feeling embarrassed.
My Goal?
To help you become the owner who says:
"I wish I'd found Amanda sooner."

Is your dog struggling more than they should be?
Sometimes behaviour isn't about training at all.
If your dog has suddenly become snappy, reluctant to move, or is reacting in ways that don't quite make sense, pain or physical discomfort could be playing a role. In fact, research by Daniel Mills suggests that around 80% of dogs showing behaviour problems had undiagnosed pain.
As a qualified Dynamic Dog Practitioner, I'm trained to look beyond behaviour and consider the whole dog, how they move, how they hold themselves, and what their body might be telling us.
My in-depth assessments include:
A review of your dog's movement and posture
Video and photo evidence analysis
A full background history
A detailed written report for you and your vet
This could be the missing piece you've been looking for.

A little more about me
When I'm not training I'm usually out walking with my own two dogs, a Labrador x Collie and a Labrador x Pointer (probably!). At home I juggle a busy family life with two boys, LOVE my aerial hoop classes and bake far too much.
I started this work because of my own dog and I've never lost sight of what it feels like to be a struggling owner. That's what keeps me doing this, and doing it properly.
