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.

Why work with me?
EDUCATED & CREDENTIALED
I am certified as a dog trainer & behaviour counsellor. In the unregulated dog training industry, I am committed to continuing my education and upgrading my skills.
SUPPORTIVE & SHAME-FREE
I offer a compassionate, fun teaching environment for both dogs and humans. I’m here to help and cheer you on, not blame and shame you for your dog’s behaviour issues.
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!
