My name is Amanda, and training Dogs is both my professional career and also my hobby. I have a bachelors degree in animal science with a concentration in animal psychology from the state University of New York at Cobleskill (2012) I spent several years training for a rescue before starting my career in private dog training. I love helping others to create healthy and balanced relationships with their dogs, and empowering owners to live their best lives with their furry friends
Outside of my training career, I participate in dog sports with my Belgian Malinois Mazikeen and Ravage, and my bandog Nash. We enjoy PSA, dock diving, fast CAT, and frisbee sports. You can always catch us on a hike or a run!
We work to consistently innovate and improve upon the way that dogs are trained. Dogwise Academy aims to simplify the training process for busy families.See all
