Ami Moore is a staunch advocate of the science of raising purebred dogs and supports the American Kennel Club in making sure that dogs are well mannered and safe in public. Even though the CGC test was designed by an organization that promotes purebred dogs, Ami is an advocate for the test for testing the gentleness of the rescue and shelter dog.

"I love the Canine Good Citizen test," stated Ms. Moore, "because it covers all the skills that any dog need to master in order to be a good family member. Every dog I own takes this test as a rite of passage."

Ami Moore is widely recognized as one of America’s leading dog training masters. She has dovetailed her love of learning, her coaching skills and her love of dogs into the creation of a vibrant company that has enabled her to create harmony between homeowners and dogs in homes all over America. With over 20 years of experience in the field she invests a tremendous amount of time giving back to the community. As a dog trainer, personal coach and therapist, she assists non-profit organizations in creating and implementing therapy/service dog programs in schools, churches, community centers, prisons and other businesses.

Many therapy dog organizations use a variation of the Canine Good Citizen test in their training. The C.G.C. test can be used to determine whether or not a dog has a personality suitable for use as a therapy dog.

"In my book, 'The Aplhatude Attitude'", continued Ms. Moore, "I talk about how the human component, particularly the feelings of fear, anger and frustration, influence a dog's behavior. The human learning to control their emotions is an important part of the exam."

“I always tell my clients that their dogs need leadership more than love. ‘Alphatude’ is the leadership attitude expressed in a way that the dog understands. Dogs don’t really understand abstractions like words or emotions. Dogs understand concrete communication: tone, body language and facial expression. For some people this is a difficult concept. I tell them not to worry. Just fake it until you make it!”

Ami Moore has been featured in numerous industry publications, magazines and newspapers across the country. She is available for interview and speaking engagements.
