5/5

Adam, of " Thoughtful Dogs" was a real pro. He understands dogs and people and in just one session gave me some great tools for working with my one year old puppy. Very encouraging and supportive.

Joseph Van Rooyen
5/5

Adam has been such a pleasure to work with! Our dogs (and us!) have made massive strides since we began training with him. You can always tell he is sincerely committed to the success of his clients. I'm so glad that he was recommended to us and I know I will recommend him to anyone I know in need of training in the future

5/5

Adam is amazing. We loved working with him. Responds quickly and actually cares about his clients both human and dogs. I can always ask questions or bring things to him that I find concerning and he is willing to work with us or give me more information. I will recommend him to everyone I encounter.

5/5

Adam did an amazing job helping us understand and communicate with our pittie, who we adopted knowing his emotional/physical trauma would be problematic. Adam was always honest, set great expectations and was quick to respond whenever we had questions during the training process. Could not recommend him more as a trainer!

5/5

Adam has been such a huge help with our very excited lab, Charlie especially when it comes to helping him NOT chase cars. He knows a HUGE amount about dog behavior and how to change it. I have loved all of his recommendations and instruction. He's very personable, easy to follow, reliable and great with our dog. I'd highly recommend him to anyone with dog training needs.
