Training for the life you lead.

The ADGTK way
The ADGTK way is the way of the dog. It’s training that’s in tune with the way a dog learns and at their pace. We structure our training thoroughly. We break everything down, step-by-step, to break through the human-dog communication barrier. Your dog becomes super clear about the behavior that is expected and knows it will be the most rewarding. It’s the smart route to a sociable, well-mannered dog that is a pleasure for anyone to be around.

We don’t work on trial and error. Our methods are drawn from a rigorous study of dog behavior. We know how to motivate, reinforce and reward so there’s no need for harshness or dominance and you get results.

It’s important to us, too, to share the ‘why’ of our training approach as well as the ‘how’ so that you can have confidence we’re doing the best for you and your dog for the long term. After every ADGTK program, you’ll have a foundation of great skills yourself that you can apply to all the different situations, environments and adventures you’ll encounter in your lives together.
