Houston, TX – Amanda Burk, a former athlete and now a prominent professional dog trainer, is taking the pet training industry by storm with her unique approach and a genuine understanding of our furry companions. As the owner of Raise The Woof, a mobile dog training company, Burk has gained recognition for her Disneyland-like experience and natural ability to connect with dogs.
With a background in athletics, including softball and swimming during her younger years, Burk discovered her passion for helping others. She held various jobs in the service industry, always driven by the desire to make a positive impact on people’s lives. However, it was a volunteering experience at the South Houston Animal Shelter that changed the course of her career.
Through her volunteer work, Burk realized her exceptional talent for understanding and communicating with dogs. She formed a deep bond with these animals and discovered a calling to turn her passion into a profession. Eager to pursue her newfound path, Burk decided to transition into the world of dog training.
Unfortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic struck, resulting in Burk losing her job at FedEx. However, she saw this as an opportunity to “go for it” and take a leap of faith in establishing her own business. Determined to provide exceptional training services that prioritize the well-being and happiness of dogs, Burk founded Raise The Woof.
What sets Burk apart from traditional dog trainers is her unique and free-spirited approach. Drawing inspiration from the magic of Disneyland, Burk strives to create a joyous and memorable experience for both dogs and their owners. Her training sessions are designed to be interactive, engaging, and tailored to the specific needs of each individual dog.
“I believe in building trust and strong relationships with the dogs I work with,” says Burk. “By understanding their natural instincts and communication signals, we can create a harmonious bond that fosters effective training.”
Burk’s dedication to her craft led her to seek guidance from a mentor and seasoned dog trainer. Working part-time under her mentor’s tutelage, Burk honed her skills and expanded her knowledge in the field. As her expertise grew, so did her business.
In just two years, Burk has successfully expanded her operation and now employs two additional trainers to meet the growing demand for her services. Excitingly, she recently announced plans to open a new training facility in Houston in the third quarter of 2023. The facility will provide a dedicated space for dogs to learn and thrive while offering a welcoming environment for their owners.
Amanda Burk and Raise The Woof have received rave reviews from dog owners across Houston, who praise her ability to transform their pets’ behavior and strengthen their bond. As Burk continues to make a positive impact on the lives of dogs and their families, she is undoubtedly poised to become a leading figure in the dog training industry.
