  • Amara has been working with my dog Rosie and I have seen great progress in our time working together! Rosie was very reactive towards strangers and we couldn’t go on walks without her barking at every dog, person, or loud noise. Now after training for about 3 months we are able to walk through a busy day at Point Ruston without fear of Rosie being reactive towards everything and having walks be something that is stressful. Amara is very patient and kind with Rosie and I am excited to continue seeing the progress Rosie makes while working with her

  • Words can not describe enough how much Pnw precision k9 helped me and my dog lux!! She is like a whole new dog! Before we set her up with board and train she would jump on us was way to hyper to be a inside dog we couldn't walk her on a leash without feeling like she was ripping our arm off! We just got her back from a 3 week board and train and now my 7 year old daughter can walk her no issues, she is an inside calm dog, she listens she is just so well behaved!! Best choice I ever made for my German Shepard! Thank you so much Amara for being so wonderful with my fur baby!!!! I

  • I have been doing training with Amara since this summer and it has been wonderful. She is very patient with my dog and tries to find the best ways to motivate him not just going with the usual tricks. I feel like she definitely takes into account each dog’s temperament and needs and I appreciate that. I told her I wanted to hold off on training for the holidays because I was just too busy with family gatherings and preparing for a new baby. She didn’t guilt me or pressure me into thinking I couldn’t do that. Just said I totally understand and let me know we could also do once a month training for a refresher until I was ready to come back

  • Highly recommend! Amara is very patient and informative about dog behavior and has helped us understand how to work with him more effectively. We have seen a big difference in our dogs obedience since Amara started working with him (and us) He is very stubborn and she is so patient with him, you can see she really loves dogs and enjoys teaching. We really appreciate her!

  • Amara has literally changed my life. Her service, both in dog training and boarding, has helped me manage my four otherwise unruly dogs, allowed me piece of mind, and the ability to take more vacations. In regards to training, she helped me when my dog was eight years old and set in her ways, begin the steps to getting over high separation anxiety. Not only was Amara able to help correct my dog's behavior, but she was flexible with what time and money I was able to personally devote to the problem, and work around those restrictions. Also, while it did not pertain to my dog, it was clear in the process that Amara had a strong handling and a wealth of experience with worse cases, particularly dogs with aggression issues. She clearly knows a dog's boundaries, and is able to problem solve around each individual dog using proven techniques As for boarding, I am very nervous about other people watching my dogs because of their behavior issues regarding strangers and due to past escape incidents with friends and family. However, when leaving my dogs in Amara's care, I have no worries. She respects my relationship with my dogs, while also taking my concerns seriously. She is also able to provide more individualized care than what a larger kneel facility would be able to give. If anything, my dogs behavior better when they're left alone at her place, and while my dogs typically don't get along with other dogs, they had no trouble adjusting to spending time with Amara's own two dogs, who are, of course, immaculately trained. There's also never been any trouble with other dogs, who may be receiving boarding at the same time. Overall, Amara, is a professional. This is her job and life's work; this isn't just a side gig for her. You are getting quality service choosing her

Success Stories

Kahleesi’s Story

Kahleeshi is a Mexican rescue pup. Her owners reached out because she was severely dog aggressive anytime another dog was in her line of vision, occasionally she would redirect and bite her dad out of pure frustration when she was being held back from getting to another dog. They couldn’t walk her in fear of being bitten or unexpectedly confronting an off leash dog.

After an initial consult we determined that weekly dog training would be the best option for Kahleesi. We spent months working Kahleesi and exposing her to other dogs in and out of a controlled environment. After lots of hard work, dedication and consistency, her dad can proudly take her on walks through their neighborhood and push his baby in the stroller at the same time!

Finnegan’s Story

Finn has a disabled dad who came to us for training when he was four months old and he was one of our rock star clients from the get go.

Unfortunately Finn was attacked by a German Shepherd which him to being extremely fearful and defensive around large dogs. Since we had a preexisting relationship with him, we were able to jump in with a two week board and train program followed up by weekly classes to give him and his dad the confidence they needed to work through those obstacles. Now he confidently can be off leash freely and play with large dogs.
