Two days ago my little sweet Maple graduated from the adolescent dog training class here and it was amazing! The class was taught by Denver and was very hands-on and practical. My Maple is a one-year old rescue dog and was very timid and scared of people and dogs. On the first day of class, Denver was so kind and considerate and adjusted things to help Maple get more confident with the other dogs. After each session I saw Maple get better and better and more comfortable with the other dogs in the class. At the end of this class Maple learned so much that I can’t even believe it. It was absolutely the best group class I have ever attended. I have an older dog who took a lot of puppy classes elsewhere but this was nothing to compare to them. I highly recommend this class! Thank you Denver and Amanda Gagnon Training!!
When we first got our puppy, we were completely in over our heads. We didn't know how to train him, and were especially frustrated with not being able to take him outside before his vaccines. We met multiple people who directed us to Amanda Gagnon's puppy socials, and started taking our pup 1-2x/week. The change in him was quite noticeable, and he is so social now! He loves all other dogs and humans too. We loved AGT so much that we continued on with their Puppy Kindergarten and Puppy II classes. Additionally, we took him to their "puppy day school" where they take them for 3 hours to teach them all sorts of fun things. My puppy absolutely worships one of the trainers in particular (Gwen) and I am convinced that she could call his name from a mile away and he would run to her. I can't recommend Amanda Gagnon Dog Training enough!
