Hi, I’m Amber. Originally from Green Bay, Wisconsin, I relocated to Boise, Idaho in 2012, where I found both a home and a community that fueled my passion for working with dogs. With a lifelong love for animals, I’ve been drawn to dogs for as long as I can remember — their energy, loyalty, and unique personalities have always captivated me. That early passion evolved into a career, and for over eight years, I’ve had the privilege of helping dogs and their owners build stronger, more fulfilling relationships.

Over the years, I’ve gained extensive experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments — from energetic puppies to those facing significant behavioral challenges, as well as dogs just needing a little help with the basics. I believe in training that pairs structure and obedience with meeting each dog’s biological and emotional needs. I also have three years of experience shooting commercials with my personal dogs and a few clients’ dogs!

My journey in the dog training industry began as a Kennel Tech at a well-known training facility, where I learned the foundations of canine care, training, and behavior. From there, I leapt and started a dog training business with a close friend. For three years we collaborated and worked as a team to help owners and their dogs overcome difficult challenges. After that, I stepped into the role of Lead Trainer at a reputable training facility in the Boise area, where I spent five years working hands-on with countless dogs and mentoring both owners and new trainers.

No matter the challenge or unique goals you have for training, I’m here to help with guidance that’s compassionate, practical, and results-driven.

Helping people and their dogs live happier and healthier together isn’t just what I do — it’s who I am.
