TESTIMONIALS
here's what our customers are saying about us
"We started training our 6 week-old German shepherd, Thor, with Gary Adams in 2006. Essentially, Gary trained us humans to understand the dog’s signals and behave in our role of pack leader. He demonstrates the techniques and then patiently makes one repeat until the execution is consistent and gets the desired reaction from the dog. Our pack consists of 3 dogs and 2 people. Thanks to Gary the dogs learned how to learn and we humans learned how to focus and repeat until they do.Clearly, we strongly recommend Gary as a trainer and consider the money well spent!”
-Mark and Isabel Wagner

….Fortunately for us and for Lucy, Gary is amazing with dogs.  He is patient and his love for these animals not only makes him an effective trainer, but the dogs sense it as well.  The respect for him is unbelievable.  We made a promise to Lucy when we adopted her.We promised we would save her life.  With Gary’s help, we were able to do that.  Today, a year later, Lucy is a loving, sweet, funny little dog . . . a member of the family, who knows her place in the pack.  She is obedient and loving. It is hard to believe that the dog that couldn’t be touched is now a dog that thrives on affection.  We have Gary Adams to thank for that.  We highly recommend his services!  He’s “Dog’s Best Friend!”

-Kathy Marottaa

We were desperate to find a solution for a rescue with many undesirable issues including severe dog aggression. After trying several trainers and throwing hundreds of dollars away Gary Adams has been the only trainer to map out a plan for success.Gary’s commitment to his clients and his craft is unraveled he is amazing! If you’re having issues with your dog, any issue at all, Gary is the trainer to call for help.
