Hi, I’m Amanda and I run Not So Wild Dog Training!
Working mainly with puppies and adolescents I am a big believer that prevention is better than cure and that setting your new puppy up for success from day one is one of the best decisions you can make.

We welcome our puppy Abby in late November, I knew we needed someone to help us so I contacted Amanda “we couldn’t do it without her support”
She guide us on what to get for my puppy even before my puppy arrived. How to set up our place what to expect and how to train our puppy. She was with us ones a week for 4 weeks and it felt so good made us feel that we could do it and help us with the little challenges, to understand why they happen and how to overcome them. We couldn’t do it without her help. And she still giving support when we need it.
We have a child that was really afraid of Abby at the start but now he is really enjoying her, thanks to Amanda for all her great work!

Highly recommend Amanda, we were struggling with constant pulling and how distracted our 11 month pup was on walks. After 4 weeks the change is incredible. Amanda was very knowledgeable and her guidance and detailed notes and videos allowed us to continue working with Lilo . More...

We finished our 4 week puppy program with Amanda and are grateful for her knowledge and guidance over the first weeks of bringing our puppy home. She has been so patience with our questions and has given us the skills to teach our puppy to become a happy and confident one! Looking forward to her coming back in a few weeks to check in and hopefully start to take her for some walks when we all return to work and school. Thank you Amanda! More...

Amanda was so patient with my 5 month puppy Eddie. She was sympathetic towards all of his needs and took her time focusing on 1 thing before jumping to another. The detailed notes at the end of the week were great to look back on and refresh his memory on what he learned in his sessions. I plan on booking more walk and train sessions with Amanda in the future ☺️ More...

Amanda worked with Kevin (4 month old Labrador) taking him through her 4 week puppy training program and the difference in him is astonishing!
Amanda was amazing with Kevin. She spoke with me in detail about what I wanted to achieve and then showed him the foundations in her sessions each week. At the end of the week, I received detailed notes with step by steps and video references so that I knew exactly what to do between sessions.
I definitely plan to continue using Amanda’s services and couldn’t recommend her highly enough.

We just completed Amanda’s 4 week puppy training program with our now 14 week old pure breed Kelpie Teddy. The knowledge, tips and tricks to ensure we set Teddy up for success has been invaluable.
Amanda built such quick rapport with Teddy who was very anxious with new faces. He loved her visits each week as did I.
Following each session, I received detailed notes, recommendations and references for us to follow and work on leading up to our next session.
My confidence with my pup grew each week thanks to Amanda and I definitely plan to continue using her services as Teddy grows into crazy teenager. I can’t recommend her highly enough! Thankyou Amanda!!

My little Lola just finished her walk and train sessions with Amanda. I would highly recommend Amanda to anyone thinking of getting a Dog trainer, Lola is like a totally different dog she is so well behaved and calm when walking now.
Lola's loose lead walking, sitting and staying when asked, off leash recall and also sleeping in her own bed are all areas which Amanda has trained her in. The level of training and care Amanda provides both during her sessions and also with follow up notes and videos is brilliant. Amanda was always super helpful in answering any questions I had. Lola always was very excited to see Amanda coming and I was happy to know she was in safe hands. I would highly recommend Amanda and her training services.
Thank you so much for training my little Lola!

We’ve had such a great experience with Amanda, both with weekly solo walks and now group walks. Both sessions very much benefit our young dog who absolutely loves Amanda! We love that his time with her incorporates some training, walk time and fun! All very easy and beneficial for both us and our dog. 🐶 More...

Amanda is brilliant with Missy and Stella, they love their adventures, I know they are in safe hands and I've noticed Stella become more confident with other dogs, since going on group walks. Amanda is very reliable, punctual and keeps us updated, we are really grateful and would recommend her highly. More...

I would absolutely recommend Amanda! She has been a great find for my two Staffies. They both love their walks with Amanda and love socialising with other dogs. Amanda has been providing a wonderful training service as well as walking the dogs, which is something most dog walkers don’t offer without exorbitant pricing. Amanda’s pricing is fair and affordable and well worth the effort she puts into taking care of her clients. Thanks Amanda! More...

Amanda provides what you really want in a professional dog trainer/walker an actually love for the animals, it isn’t just a job but a passion and I think that’s the most important thing to dog owners when trusting them with your fur baby. Amanda has walked my boy rocky for about a year now working on his recall, manners and reactivity to people, places and other dogs. Since starting with Amanda rocky has shown such huge improvement and after some previous bad experience with other dog walkers he is getting back to his happy and confident self. I feel completely relaxed knowing my dog is in Amanda’s care and he is so happy on every walk. Amanda provides constant feed back personally and via social media which adds that extra peace of mind when your dog is out and about. 10/10 we couldn’t ask for anything more of Amanda 🙏🙏🙏 More...
