"We finished the puppy skills course and looking forward to the senior puppy classes. Amanda is patient with the puppy parents, the puppies learn quicker than we do. She has great advice and although you are part of a bigger group, Amanda takes the time to tailor training to individual pups needs. The classes were fun and we learnt so much. Highly recommended."

"Amanda was amazing! She made puppy school genuinely fun, not just for the pups, but for the adults too. We learnt some great lessons along the way. Nala, my 14 week old Bordoodle, has just wrapped up Puppy Skills, and I’m so excited to keep building on what we’ve learnt using Amanda’s tips and tricks. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone starting their puppy training journey!"

"Our 18 week old Jack Russell pup just finished her puppy training course. We had such a fantastic experience! Amanda was incredibly knowledgeable, patient and gave us helpful advice on our very energetic pup. Our pup went from being super energetic and overstimulated, to being able to sit calmly in her bed and responsive, all thanks to their positive reinforcement approach. Would highly recommend!!"

"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!"

"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."
