Amanda Gagnon Dog Training

We've been bringing our dog, Rocky Potato, to Amanda Gagnon for about 8 months now. He absolutely LOVES going! The trainers are all so warm and friendly. We love that they use only positive reinforcement training. Rocky can't get enough of all the classes, from agility to leash skills. All the trainers have gotten to know Rocky and help work with us on training that works best for us. We also love getting his report card w/ photo from adolescent school and hang it on our fridge weekly

My Golden Retriever, Moose, began attending AGDT when he was 6 months old. The entire staff is amazing. He frequently attended Michelle Popelkas classes and in less than 2 months his impulse control and recall has improved tremendously. He also learned social skills like how to share toys with other dogs, how to handicap himself when he plays with smaller dogs, and is now a pro at “leave it”. Michelle’s and the other trainers notes and homework written on Moose’s report cards guided me to practice what he was learning in school, at home. Moose loves and pays high attention to Michelle so we enrolled in her Private Certified Trainer Sessions which helped with his leash walking skills and recall outside in Central Park. Now Moose is able to run free in the park because I trust he will come back to me by using simple recall cues! I highly recommended attending classes at AGDT as well as Michelle’s private training sessions as I notice Mooses continuous improvements.
