Kentucky Dog Training LLC is a board and train specialist serving Lexington and central Kentucky. We specialize in high quality board and trains in a home setting.
Our programs will help you achieve the level of manners and obedience that you are looking for. Life is too short to accept being dragged down the street, or not being able to recall your dog off leash. Head trainer Samantha Adams is nationally recognized, certified, and experienced in bringing out the best in every dog.
Our most popular program is our Distraction Program, which teaches your dog reliable obedience for the real world. They learn their skills in a home setting, and then progress to practicing those skills everywhere from Lowes to the Arboretum.

I am so very very thankful that I found Samantha. She has transformed my dog. I can now take him on walks without pulling me and he is so calm. I have learned from her how to handle my dog. My dog is so behaved I am impressed. Samantha is so very helpful coming to my house twice to help me with some commands and corrections I needed to learn. I highly recommend her. It was worth every dollar I spent. I am so grateful to her.

I received a dream dog (one of the dogs that the trainer raises from a puppy and trainers) a couple months ago from Kentucky Dog Training and extremely impressed. He is such a sweet and gentle boy who is well behaved and obedient. It really makes the joy of dog ownership much better when your dog is completely trained. Everyone I come in contact says he is such a well trained dog. I am very happy with the trained dog I received and highly recommend Kentucky Dog training for your dog's training needs. It will truly make a difference.

I am so thankful that we found Sam - she is simply awesome!! We adopted 2 rescue Anatolian Shepherds who ended up being younger and much more rambunctious than we anticipated. Although we fell in love immediately, they were completely out of control, knew nothing about living in a house, had no manners, escaped our fence several times and I was so afraid that we would not be able to keep them. Then I found Sam and everything changed. We enrolled them in her distraction board and train program. She is an incredibly talented trainer who cares and loves the animals she works with and did amazing with our boys. They are still a couple of adorable goof balls but now they know how to listen, obey commands and are even able to come to work in an office with me each day. Harmony was restored in our home. Sam is happily available for continued training and provides thoughtful guidance on any issues we encounter. She was kind enough to board them for us recently and they were so excited to see her and just wagged their tails and gleefully walked out to her car. They never even looked back at us!! It was such a great feeling to know how happy and comfortable they were with her. We highly recommend Sam and are very blessed to have found her. She helped change our lives and allowed us keep the 2 boys we fell so crazy in love with!

Such a great experience, I cannot recommend Sam enough! I was so nervous about sending my Maevie girl off for 3 weeks, but Sam was so kind and answered all my questions. Maeve still has every ounce of her playful personality, but now is incredibly obedient and responsive. All my future dogs are going to Sam!

Sam is a wonderful trainer. She answers questions with understanding both the dog and the "owner". This owner needs a lot of help!! She is very patient and kind with her responses <3
I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a top trainer!!
