At Treasure Valley Dog Training, we believe in the power of positive reinforcement. Amanda uses reward-based techniques to encourage dogs to learn new behaviors and cues. Our focus is training the dog in front of us. We believe that training should be curated and personalized for both dogs and their owners, and our methods reflect this belief.
During the last 15 years, I had the wonderful opportunities to work professionally with families across the West Coast and South, in California, Idaho, Utah, and Texas. I volunteered with retired Olympic show jumping horses, wild mustangs, and rodeo horses. I have a background in Early Childhood Development, Psychology, Emergency Medical Services, and High Profile experience. My love for training was born when I adopted my first dog, Khali, a ACD/Rottweiler cross. Khali came to me 8 years ago filled with heart-worms, under socialized, and a total behavioral mess. After working with professionals, researching and educating myself on the psychological science of dog training, my once reactive and insecure dog, became my service dog.
Under the professional guidance of my mentor who works with behavioral cases, trains service dogs, personal protection and police K9’s; I utilize my child development education, experience with horses, rescuing and rehabbing fearful dogs, as my foundation for building long lasting relationships between humans and their canines. I specialize with re-homed dogs who have been adopted from shelters, rescues, or found as a stray, and affordable service dogs.
