What People are Saying:

Kristi A.

I’ve taken two seminars and a couple of one-off classes from Amanda, and would sign up for another in a second! I really appreciate that she takes the time to explain the “why” of things, not just “do this”. When your dog does something wrong, she doesn’t just tell you why. Instead, she frames it as a question to make you think critically to understand your role as the handler and what you did to cause the mistake. I’ve learned a ton from her, and look forward to future seminars.

I love working with Amanda. She is thoughtful, shapes her work to the individual dog, understands building the dog’s confidence as the foundation for anything and everything we do with our dogs, and is clear in her communications to the human on how to help the dog. I have only one complaint… that she is too far away. I’d love to work with her in person a whole lot more!

Rena B.

I am a member of Amanda’s Patreon group. I love the video reviews, it’s much different than the common typed responses that I’ve gotten from other training groups. In addition, she let me bug her for a whole weekend at a trial. 😃. It’s been a personalized experience that I haven’t gotten in the many online courses I have taken!

Each month members will have access to exclusive videos and lectures from both Amanda and Jimmy, from foundation training, to course reviews and analysis.

I signed up for Amanda’s Coaching Group group during the pandemic. There is so much information available! We definitely had plenty of awesome exercises to do while staying home. I really really enjoyed it. She is so helpful on an individual level. And most of all she cares about your dog! If she thinks something is too much or just not working she’ll tell you! She doesn’t just tell you what you want to hear. She’s honest and I think that is very important! If your looking for a lot of great information, some great fun, and a good time give the Coaching Group a try!!!

Here is what Donna W. says about working with Amanda:

Amanda’s seminars are fun, interesting, motivational, and I always left feeling so much better about myself and my dogs relationships (I have attended several through the years with different dogs). She makes sure she provides individual specialized attention to each participant but everyone can glean helpful ideas from watching others. If you have the opportunity to attend an Amanda Nelson seminar do it! Memories are waiting to be made!”
