I knew Amy for approx 4 short years and she was one of the kidesnt, most understanding, and tactfull trainers I have met in my years training dogs. No matter how silly my Keeshonden were -be it Molly Bean and all her flirting with every living thing at the training center, Andie who seemed out of control but was just nuts to please me or my youngest, Danee, who loved Amy and loved to come to class -Amy could find positive things to say about them all. Danee especially frustrated Amy because she wanted Danee in obedience NOT conformation because she showed so much promise in obedience. She understood my Mickee who is a soft dog like River she felt Mickee could go all the way and tho I emailed Amy when Mickee did get her CDX, I am afraid Amy was too sick to share our accomplishment. Amy will remain in our hearts and prayers until we meet up again at the Rainbow Bridge. Our thoughts and prayers are with Tim and River too -if they ever need anything .call
