I highly recommend Ada as a knowledgeable trainer who provided exceptional service. She promptly responded to my inquiry and arrived on time for our session. Ada offered invaluable insight into why my dog behaves in certain ways and provided us with useful tools and homework to continue his training between sessions. During our session, Ada conducted practice exercises with us, and my dog responded calmly to her. I was impressed by the significant progress my dog showed after just one session. Ada is a consummate professional who is also approachable, and she works collaboratively with you to find the best approach for your dog in various scenarios. I am excited to see continued progress in future sessions.

Ada is truly exceptional. She has successfully taught me to enhance my skills as a "parent" to my two adorable pups, Medusa and Mila. I strongly endorse her without any hesitation. 😎

Ada was absolutely incredible with my trio of doggies! I was completely inexperienced with dog ownership and suddenly found myself responsible for three sizable hounds. But Ada was my saving grace! Patiently guiding me through various techniques, always ready and willing to address any concerns I had, and instilling in me the courage to train my furry friends - she is simply amazing! With her expert knowledge and evident zeal for her work, Ada truly shines in her field!
