Hi, I’m Amanda — founder of Good K9 Institute. With a background in nursing and years of hands-on dog training, I bring a calm, grounded approach to helping dogs and their people find clarity together. I’m an accredited mantrailing instructor (since December 2025) and am actively enrolled in Canine Health Research Institute coursework, continually expanding my skills through science-based education. I specialize in building strong foundations through thoughtful structure, clear communication, and relationship-based training that works in real life — not just in sessions. Training at Good K9 Institute is a partnership: you, your dog, and me, working together to create dogs who feel secure and capable and homes that feel peaceful again.
