Helping Paws Dog Training
Where Every Paw Print Tells A Story
Every dog has a story. Every human deserves support. At Helping Paws, we’re here to walk beside you—building trust, celebrating progress, and creating lasting change, one paw at a time.
I’m Amanda, certified in dog psychology, aggression/reactivity correction, service dog task training, and puppy obedience. Helping Paws was born from Moose—my co-trainer and heart—whose journey from trauma to trust taught me that transformation begins with love.
Moose joins every session, offering calm, modeling connection, and helping dogs feel safe enough to heal. We create individualized, trauma-informed plans that honor each dog’s story and build lasting relationships.
Helping Paws isn’t just training—it’s soul work. And Moose and I are honored to walk it with you
Our Approach
Helping Paws Dog Training was born from a heart tuned to the softest whispers of the animal soul. Amanda’s lifelong gift—understanding creatures more clearly than many understand words—flows through every aspect of our work, creating a sanctuary where trust and compassion lead the way.
How Every Journey Begins
• We begin each session by honoring your animal’s unique story, embracing their fears before teaching new skills.
• We weave warmth into every lesson, knowing that a calming touch or kind word can open doors that no command ever could.
• We celebrate every small step—a wagging tail, a confident stride, a trustful gaze—as proof that love rewrites the past.
• We support rescues, shelters, and foster families, sharing trauma-informed techniques to help every animal feel safe and valued.
Our Promise to You

Together, we’ll nurture confidence, deepen your bond, and experience the extraordinary power of empathy and understanding.
