"Adam's dog training is different to the usual training, but it’s the smartest I have seen".
Review from Sharon Traud (and Poppy)
"Adam's dog training is different to the usual training, but it’s the smartest dog training I have heard of.
Working as a vet I have seen many different approaches to dog training. Adam doesn't just teach commands and makes the dog follow one blindly. The contrary is the case. Adam teaches to understand one's dog.
He teaches how to communicate with the dog using body language, eye contact, hand signs and additional supporting commands. This way the dog and owner can communicate without shouting commands. He lets the dog make its own smart decisions and teaches them through the owner how to make the correct decision. This is initially quite difficult, but once I understood my dog, learned its behaviour and body language, it became extremely easy. I can now walk for hours without calling my dog once.
I started working with Adam when our dog Poppy, a sprocker spaniel, was 6 months old. After 6 sessions, one weekly, Poppy was fully trained. I am since in constant contact with Adam and can approach him with any question. I can highly recommend Adam!"
"Adam has genuinely transformed our lives....calm, kind and practical training"".
Review from Fiona Cannon (and Bella)
"We have an adorable but anxious and highly reactive 3 year old Cockapoo called Bella. We had been through 5 different trainers before a friend recommended the wonderful Adam Kennedy.
Adam has genuinely transformed our lives. His calm, kind and practical training methods now mean we can take Bella out for a walk without other dogs and owners hiding from us and visitors can come to the house without being growled at.
He also trained us well too and the whole family is more confident! Bella herself is happy and calmer. I can’t recommend Adam highly enough - he’s a star."
"After several false starts with other trainers, we luckily found Adam".
Review from Lyndsey and Ian Posner (and Cookie)
"After several false starts with other trainers, we luckily found Adam. He is a total delight to work with and beyond intuitive.
He trained our very out of control one year old labradoodle puppy (and most importantly us!) within a few weeks. He also made some incredibly helpful suggestions from which he did not stand to benefit financially.
We can not recommend him highly enough. He’s the absolute best and we have a very happy dog!"
"I'm a dog walker and have never taken on dogs this young with such good behaviour".
Review from dog walker, Brad Shadrache
"This is Poppy and Maverick. These two naughty looking, but extremely well-behaved dogs are coming up 7 months old and they have become inseparable on my walks. I took them both on about 2 months ago, after they had graduated with Adam.
When I was told their ages and thought about my experience with puppies in the past, I was a little worried about how they would be. Boy was I wrong! Over the last 8-10 weeks they have been two of my best-behaved dogs. Incredible recall, playful and very quick to listen.
I have been dog walking for almost 3 years and I've never taken on dogs this young with such good behaviour. I've even had them both stay at my house. I have 3 sons ages between 1-6 and Poppy and Maverick have been incredible with the kids. I'd recommend any dog to go straight to Adam."
"We now have a dog that is happy in a sprawling metropolis, including the pub for Sunday lunch".
Review from Neil Ricketts (and Gerry)
"We were lucky enough to get introduced to Adam soon after we committed to getting an active family dog. He gave us advice on choosing the right breed for our family, boys vs girls and what to look for when we visited the litter. Just enough knowledge not to expose us as the true novices we were!
When Gerry arrived home and was beyond his vaccinations, we started puppy training with Gerry under Adam’s tuition. Adam is very keen to pass on the fundamentals of dog ownership in the environment we live in. It was not long before we were all comfortable with roaming and recall commands and games. Not only was Gerry having fun, we all were!
Living in London, Adam was keen to impress on us that city dogs need exposure to people, mass transit and most importantly lots of other dogs of all shapes and sizes. This was a part of the training that we underestimated at the start. We now have a dog that is happy in all areas of a sprawling metropolis, including the pub for Sunday lunch!
As Gerry has matured, the formal training has rolled off but as owners we don’t feel alone. Adam is always available for training refreshers when needed and odd bit of WhatsApp advice!
Adam is very passionate about all dogs and I would highly recommend to consider him to train your four legged friend."
"Adam can skilfully guide you to modify behaviour, creating long lasting change for you and your dog".
Review from Muna Khogali (and Habibi)
“Habibi simply adores Adam, and this was way before we even worked together, since we share the same local park. Adam is one of the best people I know, his energy and presence is welcoming and generous, and his connection to dogs is palpable and unmistakable.
I reached out to him to help me with Habibi’s possessiveness with the ball and growling at other dogs when she had it. It was like magic - the transformation. Adam gently guided me to understand what I was doing, and how to modify my behaviour and cues to Habibi so that she reduced and then removed her single-minded obsession.
Like all people with mastery, Adam understands intuitively all the connections that create a certain problem or perceived problem. He can skilfully guide you to modifying behaviour, creating long lasting change, and transformation for you and your dog. I quickly understand the history of the problem, my role in it, the needs of Habibi, and the simple steps to take to make the change."
"Adam helped us embed strong recall and good lead behaviour very swiftly".
Review from Matt and Sophie Hulme (and Herbie)
Puppy Training: "Adam helped us train our mini labradoodle Herbie, embedding strong recall and good lead behaviour very swiftly. Herbie was quite a nervous pup, and Adam helped us to instill confidence in him which has continued to grow.”
“We now do regular dog walking and it’s the highlight of Herbie’s day. He is always on hand for regular advice on keeping him a happy and healthy dog and we can’t recommend Adam highly enough.”
"From the first call to our weekly meet ups, Luella and I had a natural bond with Adam".
Review from Dee (and Luella)
"I was recommended to train with Adam by a neighbour. From the first call to our weekly meet ups, Luella and I had a natural bond with Adam. We did puppy training initially when Luella was 10 weeks.
Adam had savvy methods to get her used to staying in a room alone, improve her recall and to sit. He educated me on the best food, treats and toys to give her along with how to take her off lead. After 7 sessions I felt confident and she was good to go!
A year on she’s developed a squirrel obsession so we are having some sessions to work on that.
Adam is reliable, relaxed and knows his job. Although he has a funny accent and a wild laugh, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him!"
"Helped with separation anxiety. Really can't recommend Adam enough!".
Review from Jen Robinson (and Reuben)
"A friend recommended Adam to us for our 2 year old dog Reuben to help with his separation anxiety and some more general training.
Adam was amazing and Reuben loved and responded to him straight away.
We went from not being able to leave him at all to being able to leave him all day while we're at work (with a visit from a dog walker). His recall and barking are better too.
Really can't recommend Adam enough!
