Cheyanne is very proud to work with Amanda Gagnon Dog Training! She feels it's a dream, as she has been living and working with animals her entire life. Growing up in rural Virginia allowed for her family to keep a menagerie of 'critters' in and around the home at all times.

From lizards to squirrels, cats to horses, she loves them all equally and feels an almost spiritual connection to the magical abilities of canines. As a child, she participated and placed in a variety of local dog and equine competitions.

Cheyanne has more than a decade of experience working hands on with dogs in NYC every day. She has been working with Sam’s playgroup since its original inception. Many of the dogs in that group have known her since they were only a few months old. Her favorite aspect of helping dogs learn how to live with humans and other animals is observing their growth. "I love every dog I meet, pretty much immediately, but witnessing the various personalities grasp the training and gain confidence from it over time...that's the most rewarding part," she insists with a smile.
