We had the best experience with CaneSportivo! We went through puppy training as well as advanced training. Amber does an incredible job of loving and teaching every dog. I highly recommend both trainings!

Cane Sportivo has helped us train both a Malinois mix and a Beagle mix. Her help has been instrumental in developing two well-behaved dogs. One of the most helpful aspects of the training is the time spent teach us, the owners, how to work with our dogs and become better communicators with them. She has also been a great resource for helping us find appropriate toys and training tools (leashes, collars, balls, etc). We're looking forward to getting more advanced training from Cane Sportivo for the Mal, now that she's no longer a pup. We've also used her boarding service, and were extremely pleased. Highly recommended. She REALLY knows her stuff and is a great teacher for the dogs and the owners.

Our dog Hank was a rescue with nervous tendencies that caused him to be aggressive around strangers or other dogs. Cane Sportivo was the perfect fit. They took time to work through his needs to train him to be controllable even in high stress situations. We are able to go in public and be around other dogs with no issues!

Thank you Chris! It was a pleasure working with Hank. Seeing dogs with behavior issues transform and gain confidence is one of the most rewarding things I do! ❤️ Seeing them succeed makes me smile!

When I decided to find a trainer Diesel ran off after another dog and got lost for 4 days. I knew I couldn’t let that happen again. I found Amber through the internet. I checked her reviews and they were excellent. I was ready to do the 4 week board and train, after which I talked to Amber and I decided to have him stay for the 6 week program. I could not be happier. Diesel is a total different dog. He is happier and more confident than before training. He is so well behaved. I never thought I would be able to go for a walk, and having him stay right beside me instead of having to worry about getting pulled down. We are happier together because the tension is not there. We can enjoy our time together. I can’t thank Amber enough for helping us. She is an amazing trainer. She also treats your dog like her own. I would suggest her to anyone anytime.

I dropped off a t-rex german shepherd and picked up a well-mannered lady. My dog was a full forced jumper that would kool-aid man any fence in her path. Getting her in the car required body builder strength and meticulous planning. Now, she knows her boundaries and her place in the household. We are living in happiness and harmony! Highly recommend!

June, our massive Cane Corso, was 7 months old when we sent her to work with Amber for 5 weeks. Being so young we were unsure how June would do, but WOW! The difference was night and day when we picked her up. Amber did such a thorough job with her training. June stuck to her commands and proper behavior at home. Amber really set such a great foundation for us! Now June has progressed to being a rockstar in public. Unbothered by people, sounds and other dogs.

If you have a dog and have nearly lost all hope with trying to train them to stop biting, jumping on you and others and they are generally out of control, CALL AMBER! We tried trainers at the big box stores and we got nowhere. Amber is extremely knowledgeable in all facets of training dogs of all sizes. Our puppy had grown to well over a 100 pounds in no time and had completely taken over our lives. After the first training, we saw an immediate impact thanks to Amber. She worked with our dog, as well as with us. We now have the wonderful addition to our family that we had when we first got him as a puppy. Don't waste your time elsewhere. Amber is absolutely fantastic and we can't thank her enough.

Paul, Thank you so much for your kind words! It truly means the world to me to hear about your dog’s progress and how the family can enjoy him again! Seeing the progress and change in dogs is incredibly rewarding to me and your family did a great job following up with training between lessons! Thank you for trusting me with your dog’s training! If you ever need any help in the future don’t hesitate to reach out!

I can’t say enough positive things about my experience with Amber and Canine Sportivo! Her training is individualized for my dog and my needs. My dog (a rescue) was grown with lots of energy and bad habits through no fault of his own. Amber accomplished a great deal in a relatively short period of time, and the training is solid. She came out today for the one week on site follow up lesson. I couldn’t be happier!

Thank you so much for your kind words and glowing review! It was an absolute pleasure working with Thumper during his board and train in our advanced obedience program. He was such a fun and eager student, and I loved seeing his progress every step of the way. Knowing that you’re happy with his training and how well he’s doing at home means the world to me. If you ever need anything in the future, I’m always here to help. Give Thumper a big hug from me!

We are so thrilled to have met Amber & had our two Cavapoo puppies board trained with her. She is absolutely amazing, and Lucy & Ethel are so much easier to manage now. They are still very much puppies with a lot of energy, but are so eager to learn. We highly recommend her puppy program!

Amber is so easy to work with even with someone new to the sport like myself. She is always helpful with suggestions and teaching me the right way to train when I am not with her in person. Highly recommended!
