Nightglo Adventure Dog Training is a private, in-home dog training and rehabilitation service founded by Kendall Waid, who has studied dog training and rehabilitation since 2008. The business specializes in working with aggressive, fearful, nervous, possessive, and dominant dogs, using positive reinforcement and mild corrections—never punishment—to help dogs learn trust and appropriate behavior. Training is tailored to each dog’s individual needs, with sessions conducted at the owner’s home within the Dawsonville and Cumming, GA area. The trainer emphasizes building a calm, confident relationship between dog and owner, helping families enjoy daily adventures together. Additional services include dog walking starting at $25 for 30 minutes. The business is faith-based and welcomes all people regardless of background, emphasizing respect and inclusivity.

Kendall holds a bachelor’s degree in History and applies his understanding of human behavior to dog training. He works with dogs of all breeds, ages, and sizes, and does not turn away any dog, no matter how challenging the behavior. The training philosophy centers on fulfilling a dog’s essential needs—food, water, play, exercise, discipline, and affection—while providing clear, consistent communication.

Nightglo Adventure Dog Training is part of Nightglo Adventure Breeds, founded in 2022, and operates with a strong focus on safety, patience, and science-based methods. Clients are encouraged to catch their dogs doing the right thing and reward those behaviors to reinforce positive habits.
