A dog should be able to be a dog and run loose while you still have control of him, even when there are distractions. You deserve a dog who knows boundaries such as staying off furniture, not jumping on visitors and being quiet on command. Proper housebreaking and leash-walking manners can go a long way toward improving your relationship with your dog.With our training programs and your commitment, you can love your dog AND your dog's behavior. We offer several training programs to fit your dog's learning style and your obedience needs.

It has been about 4 years now that we had our 2 high drive German Shepherds attend the board and train. We are so happy that we did! The difference in their behavior is amazing. We had been to many trainers and nothing was working for us. Randy and his team are awesome! We continue to get compliments on their behavior. The polishing classes are great too and you should be fully committed to attending them.
We continue to go back once a year for a couple of weeks before we go on vacations. We do a lot of hiking mountains with them. They love it and we are proud to have them behave so well. Remember he does the training initially but it's up to you to keep up with it. Your dog will love you for it. Doug and Judy

What a difference! My son's puppy was out of control. He tried classes at a local dog store, a different local trainer, and finally we broke down and paid for Adams. It was so worth the money. He's always been loved, but, we love his behavior now too. I'd recommend them to anyone with a stubborn dog or new puppy.

The Adams K-9 team is awesome and we recommend them to all our local dog parent friends! Our dog is smart and sweet, but we knew we were adopting her with some behavioral issues so we immediately enrolled her in their Play and Learn program. This was our first experience with professional dog training. Our "good dog" turned into a freaking fantastic dog!
After her initial training, we were encouraged to attend the group classes for their graduates - which we regularly did. These were especially helpful for accountability and to offer guidance as we took the reins of her training. If you send your dog to Adams, be sure to take advantage of the group class opportunities! Adams K-9 is truly committed to their dogs.
Your support doesn't stop after the training or group classes end. Our dog went through their program 2 years ago, but just the other day we had a meeting with them about some goals for our dog and how we can achieve those goals. Another thing we like about Adams is that they offer doggie daycare and boarding too! We don't need to use these options very much, but when we do, it's really nice to send her to a place she's familiar with and to people who trained her.
After this experience, we can honestly say that we will always get our dogs professionally trained - preferably with Adams K-9. We expected to get a changed dog, but what we didn't realize was that this would change us as dog parents. As ridiculous as it sounds, we have such high expectations now for how dogs should behave. Having a trained and polite dog means she will get welcomed into more spaces and ultimately open up the world to her. For everything that dogs give us, we owe that much to them. Plus it's just nice to spend more time with them.

We brought our strong willed 6 month old Goldendoodle puppy to Adams with a hesitation of, is the investment worth it? It was! The team at Adams K9 obviously loves dogs. They were great with our puppy and after one full day of day training we started to see the difference. After 2 weeks we had a puppy that I was confident that when I called his name or gave a command he would listen to me as well as all 5 of us in the family.
He is now 8 months old and yet still a puppy, that had puppy instincts he listens and responds to his commands which is best for his safety, other pets safety and that of all people he comes in contact with including young children and elderly grandparents. Including with the training is additional follow up classes twice a week that you can go to if you choose.
He loves the follow up classes and looks forward to them every week. It's good socializing with ofther dogs and people allowing him and us to keep up on what we've learned. Randy Adams and his team are top notch and really care about your pet and coaching you on training with your pet. Thanks Adams K9!

I usually do not write reviews, but I will absolutely make an exception here. With that being said, I am absolutely thrilled with the work that Adams has done with my dog. I have a 10 month old German Shepherd puppy who is a night and day difference obedience wise from who she was prior to the 10 day training class. I was very impressed by how quickly Adams was able to train my puppy and how excited she was to go back every day.
I could definitely tell that the proper amount of care and attention was given to balance out the corrections with the collar. I really appreciated that a trainer took the time to teach my family how to command and lead our dog as well, as that will ensure Maize's success in the future. I love that my dog still has just as much personality that she always has, but that she is obedient now. I will take every dog that I ever own to this organization.

We went to Adams K9 with more of a people problem than a dog problem. We had a 5 month old puppy that was doing normal puppy behavior, but our daughter was deathly afraid of the puppy. The only thing we could think of to help get through this was to train the puppy as quickly as possible. Within the first week we could see a difference in our puppy's behavior. Adams K9 not only trained the puppy, but helped train our daughter. Randy took our daughter from having panic attacks around the dog to walking the dog and placing the dog in one lesson.
He gave her the tools to show her how to be in control of the puppy and when you love your puppy's behavior, you can't help but love your puppy even more than you did before. Now our family is complete with a very well mannered dog. I highly recommend Randy and his team. We can't say enough about the 10 day training and the weekly classes. Highly recommend!

Randy and his staff are absolutely phenomenal when training and caring for my fur baby! We started our venture with basic puppy classes and moved into the more intense two week class. Our puppy is so much better behaved now. We have done daycare and boarding through Adams K-9 and Kai (our 5 month old German Shepherd) is so excited every time he gets to go. I would highly encourage all dog owners to utiiize the resources that Adams K-9 has to offer!
