Precision Dog Training LLC of Tampa, Florida

	We are so thankful for Amy and her Precision Dog Training camp! We moved to the area in the spring with our puppy and needed a place for him to stay while we were in a temporary apartment. He really loved his time with Amy and when he came back home he was so well trained. When Amy brought him back home to us she was very thorough in explaining the training method and made sure we understood it and were comfortable implementing it. I know that he enjoyed being there so much because he is so excited every time Amy comes to pick him up to board with her! She does a great job of socializing the dogs and taking them out in public. Anytime I have a question concerning his training I am very comfortable picking up the phone to call her and she is always so reassuring and helpful. And I can always enjoy a vacation knowing that our dog is well cared for and enjoying his vacation at Precision Dog Training! Katy Tampa, FL
	My experience with Precision Dog Training has been great. Amy really cares about the work she does and the animals she works with. I have a nine month old Boxer named Maddux who had problems with her house breaking/potty training. I would always come home from work to find a mess in her crate and, despite multiple attempts and different methods, I was unsuccessful in breaking her of her bad habits. After four weeks with Amy, Maddux was a different dog (for the better). Not only did I notice fewer accidents, but she was trained in basic commands such as sit, lay down, etc. I would recommend Amy to anyone who is having problems with their pets.

	Our dog Cutler is a yellow lab just over 1 year old. He was so wild and disobedient that we didn't think we could deal with him. Then, we had our first baby, and he was just all over the place, and we were scared that he might accidentally hurt the baby just because he was so rambunctious. So we sent him off to Amy, and when he came back, he was really like a new dog. He was more calm and still is to this day, nearly 3 months later. He understands that we are the boss, and he listens. Amy uses positive reinforcement which is what our vet recommended. Cutler knows how to sit, stay lied down, place in a certain spot and doesn't move until we release him by saying "ok". He does many other tricks and commands as well. We make him place every time before we feed him, and we make him sit and wait before he goes through a door, so that we can walk through first. He used to just barge right through us to get out the door first. Also, he will sit and stay at the bottom of our stairs, so that my wife can walk up with the baby, which helps tremendously. Amy did a fantastic job, and we just have to keep up with the commands, going through a few of them daily. If Amy can make Cutler an obedient dog, she can help any dog. It was really amazing!

	When we rescued Tito it was evident that she had not received any formal training. While good-natured, she was rather difficult to handle, and displayed pretty sporadic response to general commands. After 1 month of training with Amy, she has made a 180 degree turn for the better. She is now very responsive to commands and easily manageable....she goes everywhere with us. We are so proud of her, and love the compliments we now receive about how well she behaves when we are out with her. We chose Precision Dog Training because we wanted Tito trained in an environment that would be similar to the day-to-day activities and interactions (walking, blend with other dogs, etc) that she would be encountering living with us. Great job Amy, and thanks for all of your help. Best Regards, The Parkman Family Lakeland, FL
	Back in April of 2010, I was living in Atlanta with my husband and son and we were at the baseball field. A lady pulled into the parking lot, crying and saying she had to get rid of these puppies and of course, we were hooked. Here was this adorable puppy...so tiny, cute, and helpless. We tried to find a home for her but it seemed like she had found a home with us. We named her Chloe and took her to live w/ us. Shortly after this, my husband started commuting between Tampa and Atlanta, and I had a job, and....we had a new puppy. She was so cute and full of energy but we knew that if we were going to keep her she would need some training. We did not have the time to commit to doing the training ourselves. (and I didn't know what I was doing with a puppy...it had been so long since I'd had one.) I started looking online and googled 'pet training in Tampa' because i knew we were moving soon. I saw several ad's but for some reason, Precision Dog Training really struck me. So, I thought about it for a few days, and then I called the number from the website. I was so shocked when Amy actually answered the phone herself. We talked for a while, and I knew this is where we were going to send Chloe. The first day when Amy came to get Chloe I knew Chloe was going to be in such great hands! I never once worried about Chloe or wondered what was really going on. Amy was very good about sending me emails and videos of Chloe's progress-it was very exciting. It was as if my little puppy was growing up and maturing right before my eyes. (from the video, of course) When the day came for Chloe to return home, I was so excited and a bit nervous. But, as usual, Amy was in control of the situation, and the 'hand off'. Going through the command exercises w/ Chloe was amazing to watch and then also participate in myself. Amy made it so easy and natural to go through the commands w/ Chloe and Amy made sure that I knew the command words and understood everything clearly before she left. Chloe is now about 11 months old and is still full of energy, but she listens and obeys. Chloe is also very eager to please and that makes is easy to go through the drills with her. Chloe is a totally different puppy since being trained with Amy at Precision Dog Training. I am so thankful that I found Amy, that her website was accurate, and she was easy to get a hold of and communicate with. It was truly a great experience for all of us. I would definitely recommend Amy to anyone looking for a great, true, hand's on dog trainer who truly cares about her clients and their owners. Thanks so much Amy for all you did for us!!

	One weekend, our family brought home an adorable 4.5 pound puggle named Ellie and we quickly learned that now there were "3" kids to take care of -- our then 6-year old, our then 4-year old and now Ellie. It didn't take long for Ellie to acclimate to her new home -- one night sleeping on my stomach to be exact -- and then she believed she was our master. With both mom and dad working, and the two "human" girls in school, we decided that it was important that Ellie spend her days in doggie day care and her evenings training. There are only so many flip flops we were willing to lose to puppy teeth. Ellie was doing great at doggie day care and even passed her first two puppy training classes with flying colors. What we learned though, was that she was actually smarter than all four of us combined. Clearly, we needed a different approach if the whole family was going to make it through the puppy years. That's about the time we heard about Amy Krupp and Precision Dog Training. Needless to say, it took us fewer than five minutes to make our decision to talk with Amy, and not much more than that to give her training approach a try. When Ellie left for what we now refer to as Doggie University we all held our breath in hopes that our darling, now 20 pound puggle, would come home with kitchen manners, a full understanding of the family hierarchy, neighborhood walk etiquette and NO mouthing. While we missed Ellie dearly, she did just that, and it was then up to us to maintain all of Amy's good work. Now, after about six weeks of being home, Ellie has surprised us all and maintained much of what she learned during her training. Our daughters are also more confident and controlled when working and playing with her, and she'll even leave the flip flops alone! She still requires constant reinforcement, which is very typical at this age and at this point in command learning, but she is so much more enjoyable to be around. Amy helped make it possible for us to enjoy the time we spend as a family -- all five of us -- and for that, we are truly grateful. Knapp Family Tampa, FL
	My husband and I have a three and a half year old sharpei named Chewey. We have had him since he was six weeks old. He was a challenge from the start. Walks were never fun as he would pull and lunge and basically take control. Having guests over was also stressful. Chewey would be very protective and it would take a few hours for him to settle down and trust our guests. Despite these challenges Chewey was our first baby and we had been through so much with him with his health issues (breed related). We were always determined to take care of him the best way possible. Almost a year ago, we had our first baby whom Chewey has been very good around. However, our human baby naturally took precedence and it became questionable if we could continue providing Chewey with the attention that he was used to having. We actually contemplated finding a home for him. How would I be able to walk my dog and bring my baby along when my husband was out of town? How could I ever bring someone into the home like a babysitter? We used another trainer a few times and left each session not one bit more optimistic. We decided to give Amy Krupp a try as our last attempt before possibly placing Chewey with someone else. Our first training session started out with just the basics but that is what the previous training lacked. Amy keeps it very simple - starting with the basics and working your way up. My husband and I felt so hopeful right after that first session. We have had a total of five in-home trainings with Amy. I told Amy at the first training that my main goal was to be able to walk Chewey and the baby in the stroller at the same time. I thought only a miracle could make that happen. The very first time we had our walking session, Chewey behaved wonderfully and I was in total control for the first time. It was a "dog whisperer " moment...no lie. Chewey has been a different dog since our first training session. He seems so much more well balanced. We are able to control him easily with guests and walks are now enjoyable. We undoubtedly have Amy Krupp to thank for these miracles. Amy M. Westchase, FL
	Amy I can not thank you enough for Tonka. She is everything I have ever wanted and more. We are still working on things together but we have become a great team. From the day I saw your ad for her I told my husband I had to call. It was like a message from God after everything I had been through, out of no where there she is. The perfect timing on everything. You have a friend for life here and can see her anytime. She gets along with my other dog (Ashley) they sleep together with there heads touching if they are not that close there not happy. She is amazing with all the kids she has truly become part of the family. As for me I thank you from the bottom of my heart Tonka has given me my life back and now I can start moving on and making some dreams reality. To be honest the words on this paper can not express my true feeling for this angel and you coming into my life. Again thank you Shannon Lutz, FL
	I am writing this letter in support of Amy Krupp of Precision Dog Training. For a little over a year, I had the opportunity and pleasure of utilizing the professional services of Precision Dog Training, for both training and boarding of our dogs. Ms. Krupp came highly recommended by our veterinarian. She was eager to take on the challenge of training one of our dogs that was a young and very unmanageable puppy at the time. We utilized the 4 week puppy boot camp that Ms. Krupp offered and were very pleased with the results. When our puppy returned home, it was our turn to be “trained” and Ms. Krupp provided several follow-up sessions so the whole family, as owners, would know what to do with a consistent approach. We were even able to take our dog to the dog beach and allow her to be off the leash for the day with the confidence that we could manager her. Ms. Krupp seems eager to accept challenges and very professional and caring in her approach to both training and care of our pets for boarding. We feel comforted by the fact that she is a trained veterinary technician. Now, we would never think of boarding our 18 year-old Lab mix anywhere else. When we return from traveling out of town, both our pets come home healthy and happy, having had a vacation of their own! With the knowledge, experience, enthusiasm, and professionalism Ms. Krupp brings to her work, I highly recommend her to others seeking dog training or boarding. In all her work, she has shown dedication and diligence in her approach to providing excellent care to our beloved pets. Sincerely, Wells Family, Maggie and Coco Tampa, FL
	When we got our new puppy, we thought training would somehow fall into place. The books we read made it sound easy. We soon found we needed expert help. Our dog, Sadie, went to training for a month with Amy at Precision Dog Training and came back as a well trained puppy. Amy taught Sadie how to come when called, loose leash walking, heel, sit and stay. Amy helped us tremendously with an organized training schedule once we were home and tips on how to use simple commands in different situations. She not only showed us how to train our dog, but gave us lots of valuable in formation about what works and why. Amy uses only positive reinforcement, and no punishment. Our family is able to relax more, and we are all happier because of Sadie's training. All our Best - Keep up what you’re doing! Sarah, Fred and Sadie Ocala, FL
	“I contacted Amy because I had lost control of my dog, Kuma, and was really nervous about taking him out to parks or even for walks where other people would be around. After scheduling a consultation and seeing Amy’s calm assertive manner towards Kuma and in turn his positive reaction to her, I knew immediately he would be in good hands. I decided his best option would be the K9 Training Camp so he could be taken to a different environment and become totally rehabilitated. Amy took Kuma everywhere and he had a blast going to parks and stores and playing with other dogs at her home. Kuma came back a happy and well mannered dog. More importantly, after he came home, Amy spent a month teaching my family and I the skills needed to keep up with his training. Now we have the tools to manage Kuma and it’s a pleasure to take him to parks and for walks. I’m so glad I found Amy because Kuma is finally the awesome dog I always knew he could be!” Thanks a ton again! Aya H. Safety Harbor, Fl
	We obtained Remington (a Schipperke), form a breeder when was 9 months old. It was apparent from the start he needed a lot of training. I met Amy at a local vet office. As we talked about Remington, she indicated she was a trainer and would come to my home. Just what I had been looking for! Training in Remington’s environment. Amy is wonderful! So many ideas for different situations. After each session, Amy followed up with an email reviewing the session. She even brought her dogs to help with Remington’s outside social skills. We used Amy to board Remington for seven days. Again, I was so much at ease. Remington felt at home--- big yard, friendly dogs and of course, Amy. Her compassion, love and devotion are outstanding.

	Amy started training my Boxer, Zoey, when she was just 6 months old. I wanted a dog that would be social with both people and other dogs, and able to walk without getting dragged down the street. I also wanted her to know her basic commands. We started with private lessons, and worked on all the basics. Amy’s love of dogs is evident when you first meet her. She has a lot of different ideas to try on the dogs, incase they don’t figure out the first way to learn something. Once Zoey had the basics down, Amy had several of her clients get together for group lessons, which was a great way for the dogs to socialize as well as learn how to behave around other animals when out walking. Amy’s a wealth of information on dog traits and issues which is extremely helpful when trying to determine why your dog does something and the best way to correct it. When we travel, we use Amy’s dog sitting service for Zoey. She has a great time playing with Amy’s dogs and her yard is perfect for doggy play! We know Zoey is getting excellent care and having a ball while we are away. Kathy V. Tampa, Florida
	We first met Amy thru our vet nearly 2 years ago and are big fans. We have used Amy for both training and pet sitting for our 9 year old mini-Australian and our 1.5 year old Golden. She is fabulous- a true dog lover with none of the quirks that can accompany that label. She is knowledgeable, caring, dependable, responsive, patient and the absolute "calm assertive" that the Dog Whisperer advocates. We completely trust that our dogs are in the very best hands with Amy. Louann H. Tampa, Florida
	Amy began training Zoe, my Great Dane, when she was 5 months old. I chose to have Amy come to my home for private lessons. We focused on basic obedience and socialization using Amy’s positive training methods. Zoe also suffered from separation anxiety. Fortunately, with Amy’s help and knowledge Zoe is now a far less anxious dog. The private lessons were very personal and provided myself and Zoe a great deal of one-on-one attention that we may not have received in a group class setting. I am pleased to say that I now have a well behaved, social dog and I am a very happy owner as a result. My experience with Precision Dog Training was awesome! Lisa K. Land O’Lakes, FL
	Our dog Greta regularly stays with Amy for boarding while we are away. Both my husband and I have jobs that require us to travel frequently. We have great peace of mind knowing that our little girl is being cared for by an experienced veterinary nurse and certified dog trainer. Not to mention that Amy is an animal lover too! Greta always has a great time running and playing in Amy’s huge yard immediately followed by a nap on the couch! Judy E. New Port Richey, FL
	My dog Oakley, a Pit Bull Terrier, spent one month with Precision Dog Training for their K9 Training Camp. K9 Training Camp was exactly what I was looking for. I have a job that did not allow me the time to dedicate to training and socializing my young dog. It was important to me and my family that we had a dog with excellent training and socialization since there is so much negativity towards the breed. Amy created a training protocol to specifically target our dog’s issues and our goals. Amy took him everywhere, shopping centers, parks, trails, etc, in order to provide him with lots of socialization and training in a “real world” environment. The results were everything we had hoped for and more. Our dog Oakley is well mannered, very friendly, and beloved family member. Even our 6 yr. old daughter can take him for a walk! Jason C.
