What people have asked about this business.
How well do you work with middle-age dogs? Our six year old rescue is pretty traumatized and would benefit from one-on-one!
Dogs of ALL ages are welcome in [most] classes and dogs of ANY age can benefit from one-on-one private sessions, if that's what you're looking for. We've helped MANY rescues with varying degrees of trauma over the years! Please feel free to stop in and discuss your needs with our team or give a call and let us talk you through the services we have to offer.

The team at Amanda Gagnon Dog Training is truly incredible. After adopting my first puppy (4 months at adoption) AGDT was SO helpful with the transition into puppy parenting. The 5-week Puppy Kindergarten program was truly game-changing for us, along with the Puppy and Adolescent Socials. Our pup was very shy when we brought her home, and she's now 11 months and a COMPLETELY different, confident, social, loving girl. We owe so much to the AGDT team for her amazing progress! 12/10 recommend.

Our dog's experiences at AGDT have been great. Our 1.5 year old Bernese Mountain Dog attended/s Adolescent Day School and playgroup there. The team is professional and responsive, and our dog, who was hesitant to go with strangers has always felt comfortable going there. She always comes back to us happy, tired (in a good way) and clearly well cared for.

I'm not sure where my family would be without AGDT! We adopted our dog about nine months ago from a wonderful rescue organization and immediately started learning all we could about how best to provide for her. Amanda's online courses and worksheets gave us countless tools and strategies in order to feel confident that we were giving Shay the best possible chance of having a happy and healthy life. Amanda has the perfect combination of canine expertise and human communication and empathy. She listens, understands, and then delivers practical and effective feedback that can be implemented immediately. We are immensely grateful and Shay is doing great! We all are, thanks to AGDT! :)

I loved working with Amanda Gagnon Dog Training! I have an anxious dog who struggles with people and with other dogs and AGDT helped me find ways to ease her anxiety and get more comfortable on walks, and did it in a way that made me feel confident I could manage the training when they weren’t there. I would (and do) highly recommend them to anyone with a dog who needs support.

Unfortunately, I can’t share the positive experience of others. Our trainer (Sam) was problematic. His training method was questionable and seemed to be coming from a YouTube tutorial video. On top of that he was full of attitude and dismissive to any feedback we had. Would recommend to anyone to look elsewhere. This training facility ain’t it.
