Big Leap of Faith Dog Training & Services

We just completed their AKC STAR Puppy class and our pup earned her first title learning and demonstrating all of her basic obedience skills! We are well set up for success to continue into the next regular obedience class! Thank you so much!

I can not say enough great things about BLOF Dog Training. I have had issues with my dog becoming reactive when we participate in indoor classes, so I love the fact that during Spring/Summer/Fall her classes are held outdoors. There are not a lot of opportunities like this. Amber is an amazing trainer and takes the time to help her students. I have learned a great deal about training from her, she has set me up with all the tools I need to successfully train my dog. I highly recommend Amber's classes!

I have two pups. My boy is a puppy mill rescue who was extremely fearful when he arrived at my home as a foster and the other is a leash reactive girl who commonly would lose her mind when she saw other dogs or bikes while on leash. I have been training my dogs through BLOF for nearly a year now. Prior to working with Amber, I tried two other trainers for my puppers particular issues, with little improvement. Since taking them through BLOF basic and advanced obedience, I often get comments from friends and family about 'how far they have come.' The improvement in both fearfulness and leash reactivity has been amazing. Amber gives excellent instruction and advice, is great at correcting you and your dog as a team, and providing you with lots of fun things to do with your pup. I have taken

Amber saved us!! Due to an urgent situation with a friend’s family we adopted a beautiful Great Pyrenees. We knew our high anxiety Shepard mix at home would have some issues with a new dog sister, but we didn’t realize how big of a problem it would be for him. When we called Amber for help we had an upstairs dog and a basement dog. With Amber’s guidance and help in training, within a couple of months our two doggos were taking walks side by side and laying on the living room floor together. When we started the process I honestly thought that would have been impossible. Don’t get me wrong, it was a lot of hard work and time invested, but in the end Amber’s help allowed us to keep our new family member. Thank you Big Leap of Faith Dog Training!

We scheduled an appointment for our 3 year old lab/whippet mix, Boomer. Boomer has developed some anxiety since our first child arrived and has made him tense and protective with some visitors. Amber's recommendations have already proven effective and we are excited for Boomer! Amber seems to think of all the angles including training the dog, training the dog owner, things to think about, and things to avoid. We will definately use Big Leap of Faith again in the future!
