Testimonials
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!

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.

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.
