FirstBarkKirsti has been wonderful in helping with our reactive Malinois/Dane, Billie. She gave me the tools to handle Billie in all situations and walk calmly on a leash. She helped with both our confidence. Billie is now a very sweet and happy dog. Before training with Ampo Dog, she was unpredictable and scared of everything. Thanks for believing in myself and Billie

Kirsti is absolutely 100% amazing. I would not trust my moody rottie to anyone but her! I have recommended her to several people and will continue to do so! If I could give more than 5 stars I absolutely would!
Loves Kristi and Trev very helpful and patient trainers. Glad I found AMPODOG
I could not recommend this duo more!!! They are so in tune with the subtle actions/behaviors my two dogs exhibit and have been so informative throughout the training process!
Kirstie and Trevor are absolutely wonderful! We took our year old puppy to them and he's great! I highly recommend. They are so caring and keep you up to date during training. I can't say enough good things about these two!
