ORION

“Deciding to enlist a dog trainer for my Vizsla puppy (Orion) was the best decision I could have made.  Adrienne was very knowledgeable, confident and flexible.  I knew when she came over for our first session we were in good hands.

It was evident that Adrienne possessed a deep understanding of training techniques along with Vizsla behavior. In addition, she tailored her approach to meet my family’s needs. Adrienne incorporated my kids into the training, gave feedback for improvement and left us with training homework.  We were motivated by the quick changes in Orion’s behavior and wanted to show Adrienne the work we did when she came for the next session.

We went from a tugging puppy on the leash to neighbor’s indicating what a well behaved dog we had! Throughout the training process, I witnessed remarkable transformations in  Orion’s behavior, from learning basic commands to mastering more advanced skills.

 Overall, I cannot recommend Adrienne highly enough to any dog owner. Whether you're dealing with behavioral challenges or simply want to strengthen your bond with your furry companion, she is the trainer to make it happen.”

MIA

“We’ve been training with Adrienne since our Australian Shepherd, Mia, was 4 months old. We feel so fortunate to have found her. Her training has been incredibly helpful and steps up based on Mia’s age and abilities. Not only does she focus on Mia, but also on making sure that we as Owners, know how best to train her.

In addition to the training, Adrienne also offers small play groups and boarding. We were skeptical about larger format daycares so we are so happy to know that we can send Mia to play and be watched by someone that we trust. Furthermore, it’s so good to know that Mia’s training will be kept up while we are away!

Adrienne is super knowledgeable about dogs and easy to work with. We’ve truly enjoyed working with her and highly recommend her!”

— Caroline in Denver

ARLO

“Adrienne is truly the best of the best. We have been working with Adrienne since Arlo was 5 months old. She is kind, patient, thoughtful and provides meaningful feedback in training, correction and companionship with our dog. She has been easy to work with, communicative and accommodating to not only Arlo’s needs but our needs as well. We are better dog moms because of her!”

— Carly in Denver

MOMO and TOAST

“We started working with Adrienne when we got our first puppy. She was a lifesaver in the early days of crate training and puppy bites. When we got our second dog, she helped us work through the transition of bringing him into our home. In addition to basic obedience, crate, and loose leash training, she has helped us tackle more advanced issues like leash aggression.

My favorite thing about working with Adrienne, aside from her kindness and patience, is that she’s always willing to make maintenance appointments or talk through any issues that pop up. Owning dogs can be challenging, but it helps to have such an amazing, knowledgeable support system. I couldn’t recommend hiring her more.”

— Alex in Lakewood

THELMA

“When we made the decision to welcome a 10-week old German Shepherd puppy into our family we knew how critical it would be to find an experienced, professional trainer to guide us through the critical socialization phase and beyond.

From the very first training session it was obvious how fortunate we were to find Adrienne. She has been an exceptional trainer, both for us as well as Thelma. Thelma immediately bonded with Adrienne and her progress every session continues to amaze. Adrienne has been remarkable in her ability to tailor a structured training plan specific to Thelma’s inherent personality traits, often customizing sessions for us to practice techniques in real world situations.  Adrienne was able to come into our home and quickly identify some of the bad behaviors we were unknowingly reinforcing and seamlessly correct them.  She is extremely effective at explaining the science behind her approach and the corrections she was suggesting.

We take every opportunity available to drop Thelma off at Adrienne’s house for play dates. Couldn’t imagine working with anyone else. Can’t thank you enough for helping us raise a well-behaved young lady!”

— Colin in Denver

WINSTON

“I have loved working with Adrienne and have learned so much during our sessions! It was so helpful to understand proper training techniques so that we’re guiding and correcting Winston in a way that works. It’s been fun and rewarding seeing his progress the last few months.

I’m so grateful we did this early on so that we’re not having to correct bad habits when he’s older.”

-Jackie in Denver

KODAK

“Adrienne was a game changer for our puppy, Kodak! We started working with Adrienne when he was around 1 year old. He was extremely high energy and we had no control of him on the leash or keeping his focus for basic commands. Adrienne helped us to gain full leash control with Kodak, worked with us on his basic commands, specifically around recall, and taught us ways to keep his focus on us as he was very curious and always wanted to lunge for other dogs to go play. Adrienne also helped us learn how to keep him calmer around new people and dogs and provide more structure on his leash walks.  

Adrienne is extremely great to work with, has a ton of knowledge, and was always super accommodating and flexible if we needed to rework scheduling. 10/10 would recommend!”

— Erin and Tyler in Denver

RHU and KEELY

“Adrienne was there the first week we had Rhu, and being a first time dog owner I truly didn't know what to expect.  I quickly learned that Adrienne was there to train and empower us, not our new puppy.  Now don't get me wrong, she would work with Rhu to show my wife and I what to do (then we'd have to repeat while she was there and work with Rhu every day).  Each visit would build upon the last provided my wife and I worked with Rhu in between visits.  She was also just a text or phone call away which I used multiple times to talk through a particular struggle.  I found Adrienne to be the perfect mixture of encouraging teacher and drill sergeant to us, she's incredible at reading both human and dog personalities.  We like working with her so much that when we picked up a second puppy (Keely), we repeated the whole process again!  I would not hesitate to use Adrienne again as it is easy to forget, skip or rush through steps of the training process.

Both of our Setters are also bird dogs, and at 14 weeks old both dogs started on the hunting side of the training as well. Adrienne seamlessly adapted to the dual training and adjusted her approach as necessary.  We now have two Setters that are well behaved (mostly) and are incredible companions in the house, in the city, on a hike off leash or in the field looking for birds.  We cannot thank Adrienne enough for working with us to mold two puppies into such an integral part of our family!”

- Joel in Denver

RUFFLES

“We did a two week board and train with Adrienne in 2024 when our puppy was 8 weeks old. Adrienne is so thoughtful in her approach to how she works with dogs. She is always very patient with our dog, especially while incorporating our children into the training sessions.

She has also been great at making herself available to help us with additional strategies when new behaviors come up with our dog at home.”

- EJ in Denver

MILO

“Adrienne was recommended to us by a friend who gave her rave reviews and she has lived up to that and so much more, she is the best!

She has been instrumental in helping our dog Milo with training and behavioral issues and providing us with the tools and training needed to be the best parents to Milo — we have learned just as much as he has! She’s extremely knowledgeable, kind, and truly cares about her clients.”

- Lauren & Travis in Denver

BEAN

“Adrienne and her pup crew have been amazing with me and my puppy Bean. I felt so comfortable leaving my pup with her from a very young age, and knew the crate training and potty training would stay on track. Adrienne has also provided me with great training tips for leash walking, leash aggression, and barking.

I highly recommend her for boarding and training.”

- Jessica in Denver

MIEP

“Working with Adrienne has been a game-changer for me and my tricky dog. She’s super knowledgeable, but more importantly she’s patient and thoughtful. She takes the time to explain why she’s recommending something and why my pup might be acting the way she is. She’s been really encouraging and has helped me develop the confidence I needed in working with my dog. And of course, “Aunt Adrienne” is now my dog’s most favorite person!

I cannot recommend Adrienne highly enough.”

- Heather in Lakewood

BODIE

“We started using Adrienne to train our Golden Retriever Bodie when he was 4 months old. Not only did Adrienne help us learn to train him and get him to the wonderful dog he is today, but also helped teach us the different phases of puppyhood. She was always a call or text away when we had questions and made becoming puppy parents so much easier during the very exhausting times. Bodie is now 18 months old and we are so happy with how far he has come thanks to Adrienne. We still work with her today to help us reinforce training and for boarding when we are out of town. We especially love how much she truly loves Bodie and gets so excited to see him.”

- Olivia in Denver

OLIVE

“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog receives during her staycations with Adrienne. She provides excellent socialization opportunities, ample playtime, and exceptional attention to my dog's needs. It’s clear that Olive is happy, loved and comfortable while in Adrienne's care.  

I highly recommend for anyone looking for a dedicated trainer and reliable dog sitter!” 

- Dorothy in Littleton

GINNY

“Adrienne worked with our dog, Ginny, closely over the past couple years. Ginny is a 50 lb bernedoodle. She guided us through the nippy puppy phase, curbing that behavior quickly. Adrienne has done an incredible job not only training our dog, but training our entire family (including kids ages 5-11). She helped us to understand dog psychology so that we could more effectively interact with Ginny. Our dog was particularly anxious around new people and Adrienne was able to work with us so that we could help her with her fears. She now appropriately greets strangers and is easy to walk. More recently, as a two year old dog, we hired Adrienne for an additional session to work with Ginny on off-leash training.”

-Sean and Julia in Denver

MAX

“Adrienne was fantastic in helping us with our dog Max, who has aggressive tendencies with strangers. She provided effective strategies that made a real difference. Adrienne is a delight to work with—patient, understanding, and, as she often says, a "people trainer," which is exactly what we needed! Highly recommend her services!”

-Ella in Englewood

VAIL

"I had always been told that the best tool for your dog, especially one who sniffs and pulls, is a harness. But thank goodness Adrienne helped me practice with new tools! My dog, Vail, has really bad sensitivity issues, to the point where she would run away from me when her harness came out and when I could get it on her, we stopped at every single front yard on our walks so that she could roll around in the grass trying to get it off. I just didn't know. Since training with Adrienne, Vail has been happier every time we go out and way more attentive to me. I'm very grateful for the guidance we've had from Adrienne. Now that Vail isn't struggling, I'm not either, and we both get to be happier on our adventures together!"

-Hannah in Greenwood Village

PEPPER

“We had an incredible experience with Adrienne, she not only transformed our dog Pepper, but also helped us become better owners. Her understanding of canine behavior was evident in every session, offering insightful, clear guidance that truly made a difference. It’s not just about training the dog — Adrienne teaches the human too, as we can be culprits of the underlying behavior! She equipped us with the tools and confidence to reinforce the positive habits at home and when out and about in the world with Pepper. We are so grateful for the knowledge and care she brings to her work; our bond with Pepper has never been stronger!”

-Dugald in Denver

COCO

“Adrienne was recommended to us by a friend to help us with our 7-month-old German Shorthair puppy. GSPs are a very high-energy breed that need a lot of exercise and specific training. Adrienne has been an absolute blessing. She knows and understands many different breeds and how to properly train them. It is clear she adapts her training to the specific dog. Our main area of focus was to be able to comfortably walk our dog around the neighborhood without her constantly pulling on the leash. In just a few training sessions, Adrienne has taught us several techniques to implement with our puppy that have made a world of difference. It has been such a pleasure to work with Adrienne and I highly recommend her if you are looking for someone to help you have a well-behaved dog.
