"Amy is an incredible trainer and has helped us so much with our boy. We have worked with many trainers and behaviorists in the past, but struggled to keep up with the practice once training was finished. Amy has given us tools to integrate his practice into our daily routine - setting all of us up for success. Our pup has some challenging health concerns - Amy has been fantastic at listening to his limitations and adjusting based on what is safe for him. Amy has not only given us and our dog more confidence, but has helped us form a stronger relationship as a family. We can't wait to keep working with Amy!" - Ashley

"We absolutely LOVE Emily! She is so calm and great with our dogs. They feel comfortable with her, which is so important. She is very knowledgeable and does a great job of explaining the reasoning behind working on certain things. She is also willing to work with both of our dogs at the same time, which many trainers are not. I highly recommend her!" - Maria Vela-Gude

"My Dad has a dog, Tanner, that suffers from anxiety around strangers. We worked with Amy in one on one sessions at my Dad's house and saw significant improvements in Tanner's ability to deal with strangers. Amy was great at communication with ourselves and with our vet on Tanner's progress. She provided extremely detailed progress reports and videos. We highly recommend Free Will Animal Training." - Dee Harris

"We decided to get a dog during Covid from Animal Care and Control. We knew that our dog would need training to adjust to our home and our cat. We did Amy's puppy package for training and gained so much value! Within four months, our animals were able to coexist peacefully in our household and get along. No more fighting!!! Thank you Amy!! I highly recommend going through her program! She gives you so much information and instruction! Amy knows what she is talking about when it comes to training and gives you insight into the psychology of why animals behave the way they do. She tailors the training to meet the individual needs of the dog and family! 5 STARS and HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!" - Ali M

"I cannot speak highly enough of Free Will Animal Training. My husband and I adopted our first dog (two years ago--I'm very late in writing this review!) and found that we needed professional assistance fairly quickly. Our dog is a Belgian Malinois mix with high intelligence and mental stimulation needs. He also is very neurotic and, as a puppy, had severe separation anxiety. Amy Blom worked with us to help us find a balance that works for us and our dog. Amy provided extensive education for us as dog parents and demonstrated the best ways to help us cultivate a happy, healthy and trusting relationship with our dog. Two years later, we get compliments on how well behaved our dog is and what a wonderful demeanor he has all the time; I am quite certain we owe a great deal of that to Amy's excellent guidance. Many people believe that the only way to handle a dog with high energy/intelligence/drive is to use positive punishment. Our dog is proof that, instead, working to understand and meet his needs while also finding a way to adapt those behaviors is the best way forward. In sum, hire Free Will Training. You won't regret it." - Maria

"So thankful for Emily and all her help with Pork Chop. Prior to training, I’d spent several years trying to work on his reactivity and overstimulation. However, I learned so much with Emily’s guidance, and I’m so thankful for all the support. Her communication was clear and timely. Her advice was accurate and useful. And the results speak for themselves. Pork Chop isn’t ready for a brewery. Maybe not even a crowded park yet. But he’s mastered his place commands. He comes in less hot when greeting someone. He learns to tolerate (dare I say love) all his foster siblings. And more importantly, I have the confidence to take him out into the world to continue his training. Thank you, Free Will Training!" - Annalise Eberhard

"I knew working with Emily was going to be a great experience when her coaching tips provided during the phone consultation started showing results even before our first training session. We've now had two sessions and I'm amazed at how effective all of her tips and tricks have been so far!" - Jillian Witz

"Amy is such a clear communicator! She sends an email confirming the plan and details for each training session in advance, as well as a follow up email going over everything we did. She always includes tons of articles and videos backing up what she recommends and providing concrete examples for us to follow with our pets. She also answers any and all questions about the dogs and their training right away." - Chelsea

"I started with Emily at Free Will initially to work on basic leash training, annd initial dog training things. He got SO much better with all the positive tools she provided! I took those and ran and he made so much progress. Few months later he started to have some “stranger danger” and I contacted Emily again to get back on track. She immediately came in to help us, got us back on track and has given us many goals and options to get to where me and my dog are comfortable. I am so grateful for her. Having a rescue that is just scared and needs understanding is what I needed and that’s what I have gotten 100%. Thank you Emily, Mackey “baby dog” loves you and we are excited to continue our relationship and training with you" - Adrienne Camacci
