Dogs are unique individuals, and just like people, they learn in different ways and at different paces. What works for one dog may not always be the best approach for another. Simply put, there is no one way to train ALL dogs. Gaye Amick customizes training to fit individual dogs and their personalities. This individualized approach takes an experienced versatile dog trainer, one who has studied canine behavior, various training methodologies, learning theory, dog psychology, breed traits and instinctual canine drives. . Unlike other trainers, our trainer has the ability to train, not only obedience but even more complex and specialized training too!  Gaye even trains up and coming dog trainers!
