Certified Professional Dog Trainer & licensed family paws educator
Amy is a certified professional dog trainer, who’s worked with more than 1000 dogs (and their humans) over her 15 year career in the dog world. Amy ran a successful dog walking, pet-sitting, and training business in the Boston area for ten years before selling it in 2018 and moving to Atlanta. She loves working with dogs and their owners at various stages in a dog’s life including puppies, active teen dogs, and seniors. Amy’s extensive experience allows her to offer personalized support and health/wellness guidance to dogs based on their age, breed, and individual needs. And, of course, to the people who love them. Amy loves working with dogs from all backgrounds, but hounds have her heart. Amy’s dog Rory, her steady Catahoula companion for 12 years passed in Sep 2022. Amy now lives with and loves her two country pups - Sienna Ruth, a 6 year old pointer mix rescued from street living in northwest Georgia, and Silas Clark, an 11 month old catahoula from Middle Tennessee. As a part of her certification, Amy attends workshops and continuing education opportunities in positive reinforcement methods, dogs and kids, reactivity, aggression, anxiety, and more. A forever student who’s also a teacher at heart, Amy has taught somewhere around 500 group training classes.
In November 2025, Amy completed her Family Paws Educator Certification and is working with more families expecting babies, babies and toddlers and the parents who guide their dogs through the changes in their family.

Lillian Ciardelli
Associate Certified Applied Animal Behaviorist
Lillian is an applied animal behaviorist. After graduating from Emory in 2010, Lillian knew she wanted to work with animals, but was unable to decide between science and husbandry — so she picked both. For the last 9 years Lillian has divided her career between animal research and hands on animal care. She found that behavior consulting was the best way to share her love of behavioral science in a way that would make a real impact on individual animals and improve animal welfare. Lillian became an associate certified applied animal behaviorist in 2018 through the Animal Behavior Society. Looking to start her own business one year later, Lillian jumped at the opportunity to team up with Amy and return to the warmth of Atlanta, GA. When Lillian isn’t thinking about animals, she is photographing them, painting them, or writing about them. She can’t wait to help you figure out what’s going on with your furry roommate!
