We can’t say enough good things about Kirsti and TJ. We have seen such a huge positive change in our reactive dog through their instruction, support, and tools. In a few months time, our dog has gone from choking herself on walks and having unrelenting aggression towards dogs to being able to walk nice and calm on leash even alongside new dogs. We hope to get her off leash one day and that actually seems possible now! We have a few more lessons left and will be boarding our dog with them when we go on vacation. We will also be taking advantage of their pack walks to keep our dog socialized.

Ampo helped us understand our crazy and wild goldendoodle, Miles, who is almost 3. We were having dog fights, misbehavior, and the home was very unbalanced within our dog pack. Understanding our dog and his needs was key to getting the behavior under control which is exactly what Ampodog has taught us. Miles is now behaving much better, havent had a dog fight in months, and the household order is restored💕 Very grateful to them and their guidance in the 4 private sessions we have had. Thank you so much and would absolutely recommend!

Kristi and TJ have been working with our new chocolate lap puppy and we couldn’t be happier. As owners we have learned so much and our pup Millie continues to learn and grow. We look forward to the coming months and all that we still have to learn from our sessions! I highly recommend!

Very grateful to Kristi and TJ for their help with our dog. Our dog was very reactive and impossible to walk. We are now able to take him on regular walks and even to stores with us!
