About Amanda
Amanda is a qualified dog trainer who uses positive, reward-based methods and games to train dogs, meaning there is no pain, intimidation or fear involved. She specialises in building strong relationships between owners and their dogs and helps owners understand how dogs communicate.
Amanda works with all breeds and ages from puppies and adolescent to adults and seniors. We work with a range of behaviours as well as life skills and obedience. Amanda is passionate about growing confidence in our puppies & dogs to help create resilience, adaptability and optimism as much as possible, especially when faced with novelty or stressors in life.
Amanda has always had a passion for animals. She started working with farm animals and clicker training goats, while gaining Certificate III in Animal Studies. Then followed her dreams to Canada where she worked at Whistler Animal Shelter, gaining experience with rehabilitating rescue animals and also worked as a dog walker in the local area. This is where Amanda’s passion grew even more. Since returning home to Australia, Amanda pursued dog training, where she worked at a dog boarding kennel, becoming a Manager and gaining a Dog Training & Behaviour Certification.
Amanda then worked for Guide Dogs NSW/ACT as a Puppy Development Advisor before pursuing pet dog training, while gaining her Pro Dog Trainer Certificate through Absolute Dogs. Amanda believes in continual professional development and is currently studying a Diploma in Canine Behaviour Science & Technology.
Amanda is a Dog Training Professional Member of Pet Professional Guild Australia (PPGA) and Association of Pet Dog Trainers (APDT) Australia. Amanda's Dog Training Services is fully insured.

Our Happy Clients
What Our Clients Say
Amanda is a gem of a person and an amazing trainer who takes her time out to listen and answer questions patiently.
We have a Siberian Husky named Max who received puppy training and adolescent training , where she guided and helped us to teach commands and helped us with his walking on the leash which was one of the challenges which we faced.
Amanda is such very experienced trainer and her passion ,love for animals is very visible in her training methods.
Max not only learnt the basic commands, Amanda also helped us to empower Max through various stages of his growing up.
I strongly recommend her training services for anyone who is struggling with their pets and wants to overcome the challenges or has just begun a new journey as a pet parent.
Thank you Amanda for being such a positive influence in shaping up Max growing up.
Amanda is very professional and knowledgeable. She was responsive and prompt with her communication and the session reports she sent after our training sessions were comprehensive.
Her strategies were very helpful in training our dog, Nora, to become a more confident pup as well as us to be more confident owners. We highly recommend Amanda’s Dog Training Services to any dog owners.
