Amanda Roberts, CPDT-KA

USA

Amanda Roberts, CPDT-KA, FFCP

Amanda has always held an inquisitiveness and passion for animals since a young age. She has been studying dog training methods since the early 2000's and was initially turned off to the industry due to the inhumane approach commonly taken with methods such as compulsion training. Her interest in dog training was rekindled while learning more about evidence backed dog training methods that minimize stress to the dog in 2014 while training her dog to an advanced level. As she became very interested in learning the most compassionate yet effective ways to teach and modify behavior with dogs, she started preparing to enter the world of professional dog training by studying, working with a variety of dogs, and becoming mentored in preparation for certification. Once becoming a professional dog trainer and having seen so much conflicting and misleading advice floating around pertaining to dog training, and having known what it's like to not know where to turn in a completely unregulated industry, she decided she wanted to help others by creating a dog training company. With the help of her spouse and friends, Intailigent was formed.


Training Philosophy

Intailigent is committed to upholding high standards in keeping up with the latest in evidence backed training and behavior modification methods that take into account the dog's over all health including physical, mental, and emotional, while also promoting a healthy and happy relationship between dogs and humans.

Customer Reviews

Mike D
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"We just completed the Behavior Modification training package with our adopted greyhound Madrid and could not be happier with the results! Amanda was amazing to work with, and having the ability to conduct the sessions at our apartment was fantastic! We could not recommend Amanda highly enough.
We adopted Madrid earlier this year and he came to our home straight from the racetrack in Mexico. He had never seen cars or bikes or anything to do with city life, and over the 10 courses Amanda helped us identify what was causing his anxiety and provided us with the tools to improve his behavior. Now we can actually go on walks without stopping a million times, have been able to make huge strides with his resource guarding, and even are making good progress on having him sit (something we were told greyhounds simply couldn't do).
If you are looking for a trainer that can work with you to identify what you want to see out of your dog, and really cares about the results, Amanda and Yes! Dog Training (former company name) is for you!"


Rachel D
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"We found our sweet girl Micah Ellie through a San Diego Animal rescue as a 4 month old, underdeveloped pup. We knew right away, that we needed help with puppy management. Right from our first session of Puppy Basics, Amanda was so educational and informative from the get-go. She provided very helpful and educational training to get our Micah going on the right track. Every week, we really worked to implement the training goals and completed the additional fun games and socialization homework. Our very shy pup has become a playful and much more confident pup over the 5 sessions with Amanda! She really does teach very crucial skills and at the pup's pace - which we really appreciated. We learned how to practice and refine our skills with great feedback and communication from Amanda every week.
Though our Micah initially started with some socialization challenges, with Intailigent's educated, kind, positive and gentle approach to training, consistent effort, and patience, we can definitely see a positive difference in our pup's overall behavior and confidence
We are so excited to continue onward into the next round of training with Amanda soon!"


Mark K
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"Without a doubt the best decision we could have made when finding a dog trainer. Amanda is an EXPERT…"
"Our dog came to us (adopted rescue) slightly aggressive, very food/toy protective, and nervous with the outside world. He knew basic sit and stay commands, and very general leash training. After our sessions, the best outcome was his comfort and trust with his new environment. He's a much happier pup because of it. HIGHLY recommend Amanda and YES Dog Training (former company name)."


Cheryl T
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"Amanda is a amazing at training your dogs. She took my 1 yr old German Shepherd that I adopted in March from a puppy/toddler into a manageable, listening happy puppy and myself into understanding their thoughts and tensions and how to distract him."


Nikki E
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"Amanda is highly trained and knowledgeable! She's is super sweet and right off the bat you can tell that this is where her passion truly lies."
"My 4 month old golden retriever went from cute but monster like behavior to… well mannered sweet angel."
