History
Amanda Gagnon Side Dog Training was founded to help dogs and their people build better, happier relationships. We believe in fun, practical training filled with games and laughter. Amanda Gagnon, founder and head trainer, is one of a very select few who has studied privately with legendary dog trainer, Dr. Ian Dunbar. Her style reflects his influence and her passionate desire to eliminate the temptation to use bribes or aversive punishments by building strong relationships between dogs and their humans while solving and preventing behavior problems.
