Her method work for certain dog personality. If your dog is fearful or have anxiety, I would not recommend. She doesn't tailor the training to your dogs specific needs, instead she has this cookie cutter method that she applies to all dogs. We spent a lot of money for sessions, and nothing has changed for our pup. We bit the cost and didn't schedule our last session since our dogs anxiety seems to get worse.

I am writing this on behalf of a friend. My friend can't write this because she's an emotional wreck, and is probably going to have to rehome the dog now. The aversive methods used have ruined this dog. Please understand - aversive methods are PAIN based, and out of date by about 20 years. The dog is a fear reactive biter, who was actually making progress. But the PAIN BASED methods used, have set this dog back by two years. Since starting with the PAIN BASED training used, the dog has become afraid of even his trusted people, afraid of the leash, and has bitten several times. My friend's family has given an ultimatum, the dog has to go, they don't want to be bitten again. No legitimate trainer would use aversive, PAIN BASED methods on a fear reactive dog. My mind is blown that a "professional" would even think, in the most bizarro universe, that it would do anything but make the dog worse.

Pretty disappointed with our training experience. I asked about separation anxiety and behavioral training for our dog. I was told that the training would really help. After I signed up for training this issue was not addressed and was dismissed. Several training were canceled and never rescheduled. I would look somewhere else.

My havapoo puppy did a couple of great basic training sessions with Amy Gist. I am following up the lessons at home and my puppy is learning well per instructions from Amy!
