History
After volunteering at area shelters and assisting a local trainer for several years, Amanda founded her own business, Sidekick Dog Training.
Specialties
Sidekick: a close companion or comrade; a close friend who accompanies his buddies in their activities. My goal is to make dog training fun, effective and practical for you and your family (including the dog!). I offer group classes from beginning to advanced for puppies and adult dogs. I also offer private lessons to address basic training and/or problem behaviors. My specialty is Reactive Rover (helping dogs that pull, lunge, growl, bark at other dogs when on leash). My training methods are dog-friendly. I do not condone the use of fear or pain to motivate; I will never ask you to pinch, choke, jerk, pop, roll, dominate, or yell at your dog. Sidekick. Train happy.
