Amanda Buck
Entrepreneur, Lead Canine Trainer and founder of CPL
As a young girl I always loved animals, much like other young girls I had aspirations or being a veterinarian when I was older. I always held a special spot in my heart for dogs, my first experience with dog training was when I was just 6 years old teaching my first dog, who was a Cocker Spaniel named Scamp how to sit and stay.
After graduating high school in 2013, I began working with dogs as a kennel tech for an animal hospital and pet resort. During this time I would not only interact with them one on one but also got to observe them together in play areas which helped me to learn about dog behavior and how they communicated with each other through body language. It was once I adopted my Bully mix, Tequila, in 2015 where my interest in dog training really grew. She was the first dog I ever owned that really challenged me with her behavior and reactivity. I started learning mostly on my own through extensive online and book research before I found a mentor that specialized in obedience and dog sport. This is where I gained most of my dog training expertise as well as through various seminars and online trainings. Initially gaining more hands on experience by volunteering to train rescue dogs in 2016.
Finally in 2018 I took the leap to starting my own dog training business, where I take pride in helping many dog owners by educating proper communication and building a strong bond with their dogs.
