Two Shepherds LLC is a dog training and pet care business based in Bellport, NY, led by Amanda, a professional with over 20 years of experience caring for animals. They offer a range of services including private and group dog training, day camp, boarding, drop-in visits, and on-demand care. Their training approach emphasizes positive reinforcement with minimal reliance on treats, focusing on building leadership and consistency in dog owners. Training is delivered through one-on-one sessions, group day camp with integrated training (Wednesdays only), and intensive board-and-train programs. What sets them apart is their emphasis on outdoor pack play for socialization and behavior maintenance, with all dogs evaluated individually before placement. They also provide a sanctuary initiative aimed at community support, behavioral rehabilitation, and reducing shelter surrenders through education and resources. Their services are designed to empower owners to continue training at home, with regular video updates and personalized guidance provided throughout the process.

They offer dog day camp with structured outdoor play for up to 6 hours daily, tailored to each dog’s personality and energy level. Their board-and-train program starts at $750, while walk-and-train sessions are available for $450. Drop-in visits and on-demand care are available for busy pet owners, with flexible scheduling and photo/video updates. All services require a meet-and-greet and a 45-minute evaluation to ensure proper placement and safety.

Amanda is currently enrolled in a Pet Care and Veterinarian Assistant Program and stays updated on modern training techniques. Clients consistently praise her reliability, communication, and ability to transform difficult behaviors, especially with reactive, fearful, or aggressive dogs. She works with all breeds, sizes, and ages, including challenging cases like fear-based aggression and leash reactivity.

Two Shepherds also offers VIP membership for on-demand drop-off services Monday–Friday with no prior reservation needed, and their facility is designed for natural cleanliness through outdoor activity. They prioritize safety, individualized attention, and long-term behavioral improvement over quick fixes.
