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 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

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,

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!

“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!

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.

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.

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!

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!

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!
