Testimonials

Our almost 6 month old pup, George, attended the 6 week puppy class and he LOVED it! Not only did he love meeting friends and socializing, but he was eager and excited to learn too! He picked up on multiple vocal cues and hand cues very quickly due to the trainers making it so fun and simple for pets and pet parents alike! we learned so much in this class and it was all stuff we can continue to easily do at home.
We take George everywhere now, and everyone is so amazed at his obedience, patience, recall, and attention at just 6 months. All the trainers are amazing, but our boy absolutely loved Rene! Her excited energy always matched Georges! He’s the best boy and we definitely will be doing more classes as he continues to grow!

I’m really impressed with the quality of training at Adventure Paws Training. They have small group classes and there is plenty of space for each dog. The trainers always take their time to give personalized feedback and the instruction is very specific. The trainers are also very friendly and welcoming. My dog loves going to training and has much more confidence now.

My reactive Golden puppy has blossomed into a confident young dog since training with Gabbie and Jordyn. She loves going to Canine Academy. They’ve been instrumental in making sure that she’s a safe dog around my elderly parents, too. They helped train her to back away from my mom when she came home from the hospital using a walker so that she didn’t get knocked over.
