Amiable Dog Training

Training your dog just got a whole lot easier...

Do you have a lively dog? Is your dog a bit sassy? Would you like help teaching your old dog some new tricks? Want to know how to give your new puppy the best guidance?

Great training will ensure your dog is safe, happy, and a cherished family member. An efficient coach will keep you on track and make the process interesting and fun.

Let us help you reach your goals.  I'm Amy Ammen and I've been training dogs since 1975. Enroll in one of our group classes, schedule a private lesson, purchase my easy-to-use books and DVDs, or hire the dancing dogs to perform at your next event.

Practical Dog Training Skills

At Amiable Dog Training, we strive to teach you and your dog practical skills that can be used in day to day life in order to make living with your dog easy and enjoyable. After all, a well trained dog is a joy to be around. 
Here, Amiable instructor Emily Casey, Maggie the Doberman pinscher, Allie the Yorkshire terrier mix, and Lulu the Great Dane demonstrate a practical use of a "sit-stay." 

 

Want to teach your dog some practical skills of his or her own?  Call us today at (414) 289-7785 for more information, or to sign up for a group class or private lesson.  We look forward to working with you and your dog!

Banish ugly crates. Get the table/crate!

Yesterday, my new crate arrived, but it wasn't for my own dogs. You see, one of our students was sick of having a big eyesore - otherwise known as a dog cage - in her dining room.

Knowing this, I had researched table-style dog crates

Milwaukee animal welfare group deserves your charitable donation:

No matter how little you are able to donate, when you donate to a charity, you want that money to make a difference. This is why I was eager to read the cover story of the Shepherd Express on November 22, 2011, "The Power of Small Contributions" by Lisa Kaiser. Kaiser asked 17 local organizations how they would put $20 to good use.

Animal lovers often automatically give their donations to local humane societies. Not me.
