Blades was born timid and afraid. Sweet in the house. But as he hit 1 years old he became out of control on the leash. Pulling. Not caring. He had stranger danger and reactive to other dogs. He didn’t like being out of his comfort zone. He also has been in doggy daycare since 4 months. So he has plenty of people and socialized. But we saw signs that we needed training before anything became a problem. I had an amazing conversation with Adam when we first spoke. Adam was already telling me about my dog without meeting him. He was sooo on point it was crazy. He told me the plan. We sent our boy for 3 week. He is so much more confident. Obedient. A work in progress. But we are most happy that we, as a family, were also trained on how to make it all more successful at home. My boy is much hap

Our lab-mix puppy Scout went for two weeks of obedience training at NDK9 this December and we are very happy with her results! When we dropped her off she was a very sweet puppy but she did not focus well or listen to commands.We voiced our concerns of what we wanted her to work on while at training and when we picked her up she was full of confidence, attentive and listening very well. She has continued to progress in her training as she has been home and has developed a very strong recall which we appreciate because it allows her to run off leash at the fields around our house. Additionally, we also really appreciated the updates posted while she was away, as well as the continued contact we have had with Adam who has helped us with any questions that have come up since she has been ho

Before starting our training, my cattle dog, Coral was a handful on walks. She would constantly pull on the leash and lunge at every squirrel or other dog we saw, making our daily walks a source of stress. We decided to work with Adam to tackle these issues, and the results have been incredible. The trainer was extremely patient and clearly understood the unique challenges of training a cattle dog- Red Heeler. They taught me how to use clear, consistent, and positive reinforcement to get my dog's attention, even in high-distraction environments. Now, our walks are so much more enjoyable. Coral walks calmly on a loose leash and focuses on me instead of distractions. Best of all, with continued practice, we've built a strong and reliable off-leash recall. She comes when called, even when we

It took me awhile to locate a training program but when speaking with Adam I felt very comfortable with what his team had to offer. He was available to talk on phone or text very often and was also open to payment plans prior to the program which was a great thing for me. I sent Dante for a 2-week board and train program and I am very glad I did! Dante had an unknown beginning prior to adopting him. He definitely had some sense of obedience being with an ACO but needed some more work when I took him home because of his energetic side. Adam and his team were phenomenal with his training and spent a great time showing me what they all worked on. I felt very reassured about the program because of the consistent social media posts of Dante’s training. The work definitely continues on after t

Our experience with our dog and Adam was a great one, before Thor went to training my husband and I were lost and had no idea what to do with him, he wasn’t listening to us, we weren’t even able to walk him and his behavior sometimes led to him marking his territory inside of the house. He did a four week program with Adam and during his time watching his growth each week was truly amazing, we saw that his behavior was improving from each video, and when we were reunited with him we saw a whole different personality from him, It’s truly about consistency, it wasn’t just about sending him to training school it was also a learning curve for us to be able to provide him the same structure at home. We are still learning to continue the same basics he learned during training to keep providing h
