Amanda Gagnon Dog Training

I am so glad that I discovered AGDT and have taken advantage of all it has to offer. Teddy wanted me to give the

They are kind, they are fun, they are so knowledgeable about all dog-things. They bonded so quickly with our pup to the point that our puppy was pulling into their entrance whenever we passed by their doors. Specifically, Liz was an expert in helping us connect and train our pup and has gone beyond expectations of what we could have imagined. Sarah was also a trainer that helped us in our early classes and she was so loving, caring and resourceful in helping us learn how to best train our puppy. Couldn't be happier to have come here and couldn't be more excited to keep co

Best philosophy I've ever heard. I haven even been here, but I called them and asked a ton of questions and this IS the only place I would EVER take my pup. They have a no harm philosophy. No stupid prong collars or any of that pseudoscience that prong collar enjoyers believe. 10 ⭐ rating!
