Amy Blom, PhD, PCBC-A

I have always loved working with and spending time with animals, and believe every animal deserves the best humans have to offer.  After more than 20 years as an adult trainer in an international consulting career, I had the opportunity to branch into my next career, finally working with humans AND animals!

I am so excited to be combining my expertise of human adult learning and business management with my love of all animals and animal behavior.  With my passion for lifelong learning I am eager to continue to expand my knowledge of working with humans in a coaching and training environment while adding the skills of how animals learn, what they need to be healthy and feel safe, and how to help families increase their positive bonds among human family members and pet family members.

There’s no doubt, even from an early age, that I was destined to work with animals in a professional setting.

I’ve been very fortunate to have opportunities that allowed me to learn more about animals and how to work with them. In college, I shadowed an accelerant dog trainer and also volunteered at an animal sanctuary with hybrid wolves, dingos, and many other animals. I also had the amazing opportunity to become an educational assistant for the Eco-Bus in Greensboro where I helped teach children and adults about various types of creatures including birds, insects, reptiles, and much more.

Once I graduated college, I started working as a dog trainer for PetSmart where I thoroughly enjoyed teaching and coaching humans how to live harmoniously with their pets.  Then, I moved to the Queen City where I found a dog training home at Zoom Room Charlotte where my love for reactivity, aggression and other common behavioral concerns came to light. After Zoom Room closed, I had an amazing opportunity to start my own business with Amy and Free Will Animal Training was born.

At home, I live with my introverted Lab/Pit mix, Jack, and my social butterfly Coonhound/Lab mix, Pete. I adopted Jack and Pete from the Humane Society of Charlotte where I volunteer on a weekly basis.
