"Adam built my confidence and gave me practical tips on all sorts of topics. He has got us off to a great start!'"
Review from Lizzie Broadbent (and Herbie)
" Adam provided invaluable support during my first three months as a dog owner.
He helped me get all the basics in place and then worked with me on recall and walking off-lead.
As well as helping me train Herbie, he built my confidence and gave me lots of practical tips on all sorts of topics including separation, food, toys and games.
He has got us off to a great start!"
"It turns out you can teach an old dog new tricks!"
Review from Lynette and Richard (and Awa)
"It turns out you can teach an old dog new tricks!
Our 13 year old Cockerpoo developed severe separation anxiety after the pandemic. Adam, a fellow Kiwi, came to our home and was able to guide us through gradual steps to calm our dog down and give us strategies to help her and therefore get our lives back.
We think he has a very special way with dogs, and with people. We would highly recommend him".
"He was attentive to all four of us in the family, helping us all to be comfortable and responsible dog owners"
Review from Annachiara Marcandalli (and Kiki)
"We had a wonderful experience with Adam. We got our dog, Kiki, a cockapoo, 3 years ago. We had never had a dog and he did an amazing job in training her and importantly all of us.
We started working with him when Kiki was 3 months old. My husband and I and our two teenage kids were all involved in her training. Adam trained us and Kiki with patience, intelligence and a lot of fun.
Training sessions were varied as he came home, met us at our local park, helped us to learn how to take Kiki on public transportation and how to go to local cafes and restaurants.
I was particularly impressed by how much was attentive to all four of us, helping each one of us to become comfortable and responsible owners. His advice was tailored and different, what I needed to learn was different to what my daughter needed to learn etc. Adam is kind and sensitive. We wholeheartedly recommend him."
"We find Adam's advice and techniques so valuable. We have seen a huge difference."
Review from Jacqueline Goodier (and Milo and Monty)
"Adam has really helped with our dog Milo. We started training when Milo was just over a year old and we have seen a huge difference three months in.
Milo is a fauve de bretenge, a breed which have a tendency to run away in the park, with Adam’s help Milo now walks so much better and doesn’t run away! Adam has also been great with our second dog Monty (9 years old) and has had him involved too.
Both dogs love Adam and always look forward to their training. As owners we have also learnt a lot and find Adam’s advice and techniques so valuable. We can’t thank Adam enough for his help."
"Adam’s calm and pragmatic approach meant that Poppy learnt quickly and we as new dog owners felt comfortable and confident".
Review from Sarah and Andrew (and Poppy)
"We couldn’t recommend Adam more. We started a sessions before getting our golden retriever puppy, Poppy.
Adam guided us through everything from how to choose a puppy to how to approach crate training. Thanks to Adam’s puppy training, Poppy could sit, stay and lie down after two sessions and was fully toilet trained and walking on a lead at about three months.
Adam’s calm and pragmatic approach to dog training meant that Poppy learnt quickly, but as importantly, that we as new dog owners felt comfortable and confident in applying everything we learnt. Poppy is now 7 months and is a very happy and well adjusted puppy!"
"Perfect recall and a high level of obedience. An easy dog to have on my walks".
Review from dog walker, Brad Shadrache
"Meet Pretzel. He's an Italian water dog. I've had Pretzel over a month now and it took just one walk for me to realise that he was going to be an easy dog to have on my walks.
All water dogs from my experience have a mind of their own and recall was definitely a concern when I heard the breed. However, a dog coming from Adam was surely going to have perfect recall and a high level of obedience. Pretzel is a dog walkers dream, and I'd walk four of him each day if I could!"
"Adam's calm and non-blaming approach was so refreshing. He made me feel calm and in control."
Review from Gabriella (and Whisky)
"I came across Adam one day whilst on a walk. I had previously had three other trainers who did not work and I was at despair.
Adam's calm and non blaming approach was so refreshing. He made me feel calm and in control and helped me understand how my behaviour and tension was affecting Whisky.
I cannot recommend Adam highly enough. Within weeks I was able to walk Whisky without any problems, or barking and I could actually enjoy taking him out.
He is one of the best trainers out there and I always look forward to bumping into Adam who Whisky adores!"
