"As a first time Doberman/dog owner I knew I was going to need help with making my good dog into a great dog. We got just that with Adams help and knowledge."

"I’m really glad that I chose Adam as my dog trainer, and I hope that you do too. I came to him a few months ago when I was really struggling with my one year old Golden Retriever, Jolene. I’m a first time dog owner and it’s been a pretty challenging journey raising her from puppyhood on my own. Once she got to be 80 pounds of rambunctious puppy I knew I needed some help. Her tugging on our walks became a hazard and she took me down a few times so I gave Adam a call. Adam gave us the tools that we needed and Jolene took to him immediately. His lessons were incredibly informative and he made them fun as well. Now she can do a perfect heel on our walks and I amazed at how much progress we’ve made in such a short amount of time. I’m so grateful to Adam and his work. His training was truly a life saver."

"My shepard mix was extremely aggressive, territorial, and reactive towards dogs and people, and I was on the verge of giving her up. After training with Adam she is a completely different dog. She is much less reactive and I am able to have guests in my house again. Adam is very professional and does a great job of explaining his methods as well as your dog's behaviors. He's also flexible with scheduling for military members. I cannot recommend him enough!!"

"Thank God for Adam!!! Our darling River graduated from training with flying colors (we were a little nervous, not because of her but because of us!!). Adam taught us how to be the best leaders possible for our rescued German Shepherd puppy. I was really nervous when I got her, I was afraid to even keep her because of the strict laws regarding dogs in Santa Barbara county. She was 3 months old and such a handful already so I knew I was in trouble. When we met Adam, I could tell he knew what he was doing especially since River responded to him immediately!! It was one of the best decision I ever made. River is now five months old, and we sat at Custom House Cafe on Saturday with dogs, people, food and she was so well behaved you barely knew our giant puppy was there! Thank you so much Adam and we know we will see you again since we are now in the packed and so happy to have you as our leader!!! Forever in gratitude!!! Melissa and River"
