Testimonials

“When I got my 8 weeks old Border Collie, Polo, he was very active and as a result, his behavior was very difficult to control even during simple tasks like walking on a leash. I was struggling to keep him focused and on task. Adriana taught me how to be structure and consistent with Polo, as he slowly increased insight on how to behave around other humans and Dogs, I found myself to understand Polo better and fully enjoy my new best friend. I am so thankful to Adriana for providing an excellent service and giving me the knowledge to make Polo a happy dog!”
– Bruce Stgoo

“We had a wonderful experience with the 4 week puppy class! Loved Adriana’s small class size, low distraction/stimulation environment, and positive reinforcement training methods. She also talks about the importance of play in bonding with your puppy. Adriana teaches essential skills such as heel, sit, down, stay and leave it, along with an introduction to some simple confidence building skills. She is so attuned to each of the individual puppies’ behaviors and temperaments and gives personalized tips to work on at home. Adriana and her amazing team are truly passionate and compassionate about every dog and owner they work with and do everything possible to help us develop a happy, well behaved dog for a happy family! We loved her so much that we have already signed up for the daily training camp and are so impressed with the structure of ‘basic obedience, engagement, agility skills, proper socialization through pack walks, and safe play groups.’ The camp is a great balance of structured time and rest for your dog or pup. Also really like the videos Adriana sends after a day of camp so you can see the fun your dog is having while acquiring some new training and skills. Included is pick up and drop off. How great is that?!”

“Georgia Dog Trainer was incredible! My dog, Tank, stayed with her for two weeks, and she was so patient, kind, and attentive. He really bonded with her, which says a lot. She kept me updated with photos and videos, took him on hikes, and even got him to try obstacle courses! She truly treated him like her own. Can’t recommend Adriana and her team enough. 1000 out of 10.”
