Meet Amy Pishner

Amy's passion for dogs started in childhood with her rescued Collie, Lady. After serving in the Air Force and Air National Guard, Amy turned her focus to dog training, specializing in police K9s, service dogs, and family pets. She is triple-certified and has trained thousands of dogs since 2013. 

Her approach is rooted in respect, clear communication, and motivation—not force or quick fixes. Amy's goal is to help you build a joyful, confident relationship with your dog that lasts a lifetime.
