Meet the Trainers

My name is Amber Eisfeld and I am the owner and manager of Big Leap of Faith Dog Training & Services.  I started my dog training journey 12 years ag0. I love all aspects of training but teaching puppies and their owners is one of my favorites because puppies are like sponges and their owners love their puppies! I currently own 4 Japanese Akitainu, a German Shepherd and a German Shepherd mix. We train in conformation, obedience, rally, agility, tricks and Scent Work..

Big Leap of Faith is named after my two Pit bull mixes, Biggie and Faith. I have always had a passion for dogs and training but it was not until a 4-month-old Pit bull mix came into my life that I knew the love I had for training came in all breeds and sizes. Both of them are now passed away but they live forever in my heart.

Hi! I’m Laura Newland, a passionate dog trainer committed to strengthening the connection between dogs and their owners through interactive and rewarding training practices. My journey in dog training began in 2015 when I started learning and practicing different training techniques that emphasize positive reinforcement and mutual respect.
I own a German Shepherd and a Border Collie, both of whom compete in Scent Work, Rally Obedience, Tricks, Herding, and Conformation. At Big Leap of Faith, my focus is on Scent Work training, leveraging my experience to guide both novice and seasoned teams in harnessing their dogs’ innate talents. My goal is to foster an environment where both dogs and handlers can thrive in their training endeavors, building strong, confident teams prepared for both competition and everyday life.
