In January 2021 I adopting an 85lbs, 18 month old Pitbull/Lab Mix from Texas who was afraid of any and all loud transportation noises. Motorcycles, Trains, Skateboards, Bikes you name it. After months of working with him I finally hired Adam. More then anything Adam gave me the confidence to continue working with my big guy. We were hesitant to use a prong collar and with Adams support it was exactly what my boy needed to get out into the world and learn it was not as scary as he thought. We live in the City and the noises are not going any wear. Thanks Adam for your support and guidance with Duke and Rose.

If you are thinking about hiring a dog trainer, GO WITH ADAM! We went through 3+ behaviourists before someone recommended us to work with Adam, and they never hit the mark. They clearly only had experience working with easier breeds without a ton of issues. We adopted a cattle dog mix with HIGH fear reactivity who also couldn't even walk by a dog a football field away with out flipping out. (He was not aggressive, but was frustrated he couldn't play and get to them all the time.) We never thought we would be able to take him out and drink at a brewery with him, or have him off leash. Our bond was not as strong as it could have been because he was a TOUGH puppy who was too smart and very stubborn and already past his socialization window. Once we started working with Adam it was almost night and day immedietely. After our first session or two we already had new tools to use with our pup that were WORKING. The first thing in 8 months that was having any effect. He has been amazing to work with and progress with our dog and now I have been given the training for myself and Pendleton (my dog), to keep moving forward. My bond has been so strong with him since working to meet his needs and train in a way that works for him. Adam taught us a lot about dogs, helped break down what we wanted for him and from him vs. what Pendleton needed and craved, and was available to us any time we needed! I promise you, if you are struggling with your dog in any way or want to sharpen your tools I cannot urge you enough to just book him. It's worth the investment!!!

Adam boarded and trained our German Shepard Puppy for 6 weeks. He also trained us! His knowledge and passion for training was evident in how our puppy returned home to us. His comprehensive approach has made all the difference in our relationship with our dog. Thank you Adam!

I’ve been working with Adam doing protection weekly for a year now and he’s been everything I could ask for! It’s been awesome watching him build his business here in Washington, we really needed a balanced trainer in the area. He’s a Great guy, great trainer, and I love the location of his training facility. I’ve recommended tons of friends to him and I will continue to do so!

Adam is super knowledgeable and no matter what your goals are breaks down the steps for you to help you achieve your goals. Bruce was nearly impossible to walk and very difficult to train. He gave us the tools and foundation to be successful. If you are looking for a well behaved, or need help with your sport dog or PPD, I highly recommend Adam!
