What People Are Saying

  • "We (My pup and I), had an awesome experience with Amanda as part of the Smart Choice One program! She explained things clearly, supported us through everything and was always open to have supportive conversations around my pups development before or after the class. I would recommend Amanda and Smart Choice Dog to anyone. Thanks Amanda for providing us with such a positive experience."

  • “Amanda is absolutely amazing! She has been a game-changer for my Chihuahua, who tends to be nervous outside. Her patience, expertise, and personalized approach helped build my dog's confidence, and I've seen such an improvement in behavior. The training sessions are fun, effective, and tailored to my dog's specific needs. If you're looking for a trainer who truly cares and gets real results, I highly recommend Amanda!"

  • "We went to puppy school with our 9 week old puppy, and it was great. We learnt all the basic commands and how to extend the dogs. Trainer was very knowledgeable and helpful, and the extra information provided for homework made it easy to continue on. Have now started the next level of training to keep her going. Thanks Amanda!"

  • "Our experience with Smart Choice Dog Training has been amazing! Amanda was amazing with our pup, Moose. She explained everything thoroughly and spent 1 on 1 time with each dog throughout each session to make sure we were teaching our dog correctly. Couldn't recommend enough, her tips have been a lifesaver!"

  • "Amanda is a real dog whisperer. She has been so fantastic with my 10month old Cavoodle. Tobi has responded so well to her and she has given lots of excellent training tips to me too. Tobi is quite reactive to other dogs but Amanda was supportive and sensitive to his needs and Tobi has come such a long way since joining her classes. I couldn't recommend her highly enough."
