We want to thank Amanda for her wonderful work to help us solve the unpredictable and unacceptable behavior of our female Great Pyrenees / Husky dog. At about 2-3 years old, our dog Bailey had become difficult to handle with resource guarding in our home, and reactive behavior around other dogs in public. We were unable to manage these situations on our own, so we hired Amanda at Westward Hound to help.
Amanda was very patient and knowledgable. Through our training sessions, we were taught how to identify the situations and triggers that set off Bailey and how to manage her stress to avoid problems. Bailey is a now a much better dog and we feel empowered to avoid problems in the future. We highly recommend Amanda’s dog training services!

Amanda is incredible! Her vast knowledge and experience training dogs is unprecedented in my world. We adopted a new rescue pup (foster fail) and suddenly he started barking...at everything, everyone, every sound, every animal. It was nerve wracking - especially camping. I came to Amanda really downtrodden. I thought it was just something his breed was predestined to do and that we were just going to have to get used to it. But, I was wrong. Amanda gave us tools we needed to help Peanut feel comfortable and bark less. He's doing so well with his training! After several weeks, his barking has decreased by at least 75% while at home. Great start! He is also crazy on leash when we see other dogs. She taught us what this means to Peanut and why he does it. She gave us the tools we needed to help him along on this journey of leash walking. Today, we met two dogs while walking on a leash and both times it was successful! She has given us the confidence and tools we needed to assist Peanut to have a healthy, happy, stress free life! We still have a way to go, but Amanda will be with us for the whole journey! I could go on and on but just HIRE HER! You won't regret it!
