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 3 Japanese Akitainu’s, a German Shepherd and and German Shepherd mix. We train in conformation, obedience, rally, agility, tricks and nosework.
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.
