Ada is a very knowledgeable trainer and I would highly recommend her! She was extremely quick at responding to my inquiry and arrived on time for our session. She provided incredible insight on why my dog reacts the way he does and gave us tools/homework to do in between sessions so he can continue with his training. She did practice exercises with us and I have never seen my dog react this calmly to a stranger. I truly am blown away at the incredible progress that he showed in just one session! She is very professional and personable and really works with you to understand how to best handle different scenarios with your pup. I look forward to seeing the progress continue throughout further sessions!

Ada Is amazing. She has actually “trained” me to be a better “parent “ to my two dogs, Medusa and Mila. I would recommend her anytime 😎

Ada was amazing with my three doggos! I went from never owning a dog to being the sole care provider for 3 large dogs, and Ada came to my rescue! Teaching me skills so I could work with my dogs, always available for help with any sort of question, and providing me confidence in training my dogs- she is the best! She really knows her stuff and is so passionate about what she does, and it totally shows!

We appreciate Ada's gentle, positive strategies to help us build our bond with our Lab and work on some behavior changes! We completed training with our dog when she was younger and called on Ada for an update. We plan to have some follow-up sessions as we prepare to add another dog to our family. Ada was wonderful!

Ada is an excellent trainer. I like how she came to our home for the training session. Our dogs were much more comfortable and focused. She was patient with our pups and gave us thorough explanations for everything she taught. Both of our dogs enjoyed her treats and attention. We saw improvement in their behaviors almost immediately. Not only did she train the dogs, she trained us. We'll likely need a couple follow up visits, but the initial consult and training session went great!
