Took our GS Rio here for the 4 week boot camp, best thing we ever did! Rio was very headstrong and determined to do what he wanted to do no matter what we wanted! He is a sweet, good natured dog but we could not control him. Adam is very good at what he does and we are very grateful that he did it for us! We have Rio home now and can't be more pleased with the outcome......we have Rio and our lives back again :) Adam has called or texted several times since we came home checking on how Rio was doing (actually I think he is checking on how we are doing with our "training"!) Do not hesitate, it is life changing!!!!

I cannot say enough good things about Adam. We boarded our 4 dogs for several weeks while our house was being renovated. Adam took excellent care of our dogs and corrected several negative behaviors they had. I feel like we have completely different dogs (for the better). Thank you Adam for everything! I would absolutely recommend him.

I have a 1 year old German Sheppard named Nala. She was a very rambunctious pup. She had horrible anxiety issues and bullied her way into attention from everyone in the house. She was very rough with the kids and my wife, who was pregnant, we just didn't have the time to put any type of home training into her. She also was very unruly on walks which made it to the point I would just keep her in the house, which wasn't good for such an energetic dog. I sought out Adam after taking a look at his Instagram and I do not regret it. He recommended the 4 week program which at first I thought to myself, he's just trying to upsale his services. But after the consultation and seeing how he worked with the other dogs I was sold that my pup needed the 4 weeks. The E-collar training surprised me because I heard negative things about it from animal lovers, but he was very informative and transparent with everything involved with the collar. He was very helpful throughout the training regimen and within the first week I could already tell the difference. He provides a lot of information to you free of charge and considering the fact he backs his training up once the regimen is over with bringing your dog back anytime free is top notch service. Nala is a changed dog and one I am proud to own and have in the home. We plan on getting another pup and we will definitely be sending it to Adam!

Adam was great help to our dog Oliver. He did the 4 week board and train to help him with his separation anxiety and overall obedience issues; the results are amazing. Adam not only trained Oliver, but provided training for my wife and I on what we were doing to foster his issues. Oliver has been back with us for a week now and has no issues sleeping in his crate, no leash pulling on walks, and is much more independent. Will recommend Adam and his services to anyone we meet that has dog obedience issues.

I got Ringo, 6 month old Cane Corso pup, when he was 12 weeks old. He was not socialized prior to me picking him up, and despite my best efforts in getting him to puppy classes, training, dog parks, etc, nothing I was doing was helping. He had problems with submissive urination, anxiety, guarding, horrible car sickness, and was incredibly excitable. After having owned several dogs, this was a first for me. Because of his breed and the size he was going to eventually reach, decided to bring him to Adam for a 4 week board and train. I had to be sure that any future potential problems were handled early on before he became worse or unintentionally hurt someone. I myself needed to learn the best way to react to and stop the behaviors he was showing. What a difference! He is so much calmer and less anxious. No barking at the doorbell, no jumping when new people come in, no more following me everywhere I go. He sits or lays down and stays in place. He still gets nervous in the car but no longer get sick. He is still a puppy and will continue to be a work in progress, but Ringo and I both have the tools we need to continue his progress. Adam is fabulous at what he does and makes sure you're comfortable doing it as well. I could not be happier with the results I see and highly recommend Obedient Paws for anyone who needs help with their dog.
