A positive reinforcement dog trainer who understands living with dogs in Toronto.

Hi, I’m Amanda, a certified dog trainer committed to modern methods that make learning fun for dogs (and their humans!). I’ve worked with animals professionally in Toronto since 2017, and I know what it’s like to raise a dog in this sometimes hectic urban jungle!

I provide in-home dog training in Little Italy, Trinity Bellwoods, Liberty Village, Dufferin Grove, Bickford Park, and Bloorcourt.

”Extremely reassuring and helpful!”

“Having a reactive dog is stressful. Amanda was extremely reassuring and helpful, sharing appropriate tips and tools.

ETHICAL, KIND & SAFE

My methods prioritize your dog’s comfort & well-being. Some of the trainers you see on TV or social media use very dangerous methods - you won’t catch me doing that!
