My dog is a great judge of character and immediately liked Adam. Once he left, we continued some of the training with what Adam had worked with him on and he was so responsive and picked up Adam’s first lesson easily. Can’t wait to continue working with him.

As a first time dog owner, I knew it was both in my best interest and my dog’s to hire a trainer. I spent weeks looking and finally decided on Casper Training. Adam is truly the best of the best; He is always available to assist me with any questions or issue I may have, whether or not it was during our session. My puppy is only 5 months and he is truly so well behaved and trained- especially for his age. Training isn’t linear and it involves the effort and time of everyone that is around your pup! If you aren’t willing to put in the work and continue the training in between sessions, you won’t get the best results you could possibly get. I know that if I continue to use the tools provided to me by Adam my pup will only become more well behaved and better trained. Adam is the one to call for any of your pup training needs!

Adam came to our house (a little bit of a hike for him) and helped us recognize and alleviate some issues we were having after introducing a German Shepherd puppy into our home with a 10 year old American Bulldog who has been an "only child" his whole life. After 3 sessions (1 per week) of working with both dogs, my husband and myself we identified what the issues are and how to handle the situations between the dogs. We had "homework" every week which if we hadn't kept up with, may have resulted in a very different way. A lot of our time with Adam was spent talking and figuring out what would work best with our individual situation and our specific needs.

In just our first session with Adam we learned to deal with some of the most Difficult issues we have been having with our puppy. He gave us practical skills to use which on just our first evening made life so much easier. I may not have liked everything I heard but I know listening to what he says will make for a better puppy. He is wonderful!

My pup Rebel and I had a great first session with Adam. We’re primarily working on a specific task and Adam was able to help Rebel really warm up to it and is well on her way. We will gladly work with Adam again!
