Amanda is amazing with our “kids” - Georgie & Riley, our 2 mini golden doodles. She is patient, kind, caring & extremely knowledgable about dog training & dynamics. She intuitively gets to know the dogs in her pack & establishes trust quickly with the pups which allows her to do some amazing training with them. Amanda takes our pups to the dog park on a regular basis & has done great working with Georgie on resource guarding as well as limiting her barking “announcement”. When we got Riley as a puppy Amanda was one of the first to help out with potty breaks but also introduced us to other dogs walkers in the area to build our “tribe” of help. She also thoughtfully planned meet & greets with other dogs in the pack to slowly introduce Riley in order to reduce his shyness. She has also introduced us to dog trainers to ensure the pups stay healthy with their play dynamic. We have had Amanda watch our pups while we went out of town & we didn’t have to worry about a thing! Thank you Amanda for your intuition, your fun photos on Instagram & all you do for our pups. You make us better! We are so lucky to work with you! Cheers, Jason & Jen
Amanda is the best of the best among Seattle dog walkers. She is so patient and kind with even the most fearful dogs. Her dog training knowledge and skills are impressive, and she's one of the few people in this area that I trust with my dogs!
