Our story

Welcome to Cane Sportivo where passion meets expertise in dog training. Our head trainer and founder, Amber Gentry, has a lifelong love for dogs and a deep-seated commitment to their training and well being.

Amber’s journey began in her childhood, competing in local 4-H shows and fun matches. Growing up her father’s dedication to raising English Setters for quail hunting instilled in her a profound understanding of canine behavior and training. In 2007, Amber welcomed her first Cane Corso into her life and discovered the exhilarating world of Schutzhund (IGP) . This was the start of a journey that has defined her career and passion for the sport.

With over a decade of experience, Amber has honed her skills in various dog training disciplines. Her expertise extends beyond competitive training; she has worked with leading companies to train top-end therapy and support dogs, delivering these exceptional companions across the country from the bustling subways of New York City to serene homes in the heartland, Amber’s trained dogs make a positive impact wherever they go.

Amber’s dedication to excellence is evident in her personal achievements in IGP, where she competes successfully with her own dogs. This hands-on experience ensures that Ambers stays at the forefront of modern training techniques and methods.

At Cane Sportivo, we offer personalized training programs tailored to meet the unique needs of each dog and owner. Whether your looking or basic obedience, advanced protection training, or specialized support dog training, Amber’s comprehensive approach guarantees results.

I have a philosophy of balance—a balance of old techniques and new ones, and of passion and skill. I believe we are never done learning and attend workshops and seminars as often as possible.
