I am an experienced trainer but have been limited because of an injury. Her methods are very clots my own. She is excellent at reading the dogs. - Mary Young Adrienne was recommended to us by a friend. A refined canine is a hidden gem. The first thing that you notice is how thorough they are. They are also very knowledgeable, responsive( I would get videos and pics of my pup on a daily basis) and professional. They were able to train my 7 yr Anatolian Shepherd, who developed leg coordination issues and was getting a bit stubborn in general. The feeling you get is that they care for our pups as much as we do, which in itself is my most important criteria. - Harikrishnan Nair Adrienne really knows her stuff! We appreciate how she trains us as much as our beloved Loki! - Jack Szalasny
