About

Amanda Smith’s dog training journey was sparked by her beloved dog, Lola. Lola entered their lives when her previous owner had to give her up due to financial constraints. It soon became evident that Lola had issues with resource guarding, posing a danger to both their older dog and themselves.


Determined to help Lola, Amanda delved into the world of dog training, guided by the expertise of Rhonda Feinberg and others.



Now Amanda has been working with dogs for over 5 years and has multiple training certificates. Her specialities are obedience, development and reactivity.

Amanda is a kind, thoughtful and effective trainer. She helped us to understand the situations that trigger our reactive dog and gave us the knowledge to correct his behavior in the future, even when she is not there. We highly recommend Amanda as a trainer - our dogs love her too!
