MasterPaw

This trainer not only cares about the animal he’s training but about the family as well. I thought I had rescued a German Shepherd puppy that I wanted Adam to train. It turns out my puppy was not a German Shepherd and was in fact not meant to be around my two year old son. Adam was honest with my family about the dogs needs and my family’s safety. He is better than the dog whisperer because he went above and beyond and found the puppy a better home. We will definitely be hiring Adam to train our next dog. He knows what he is doing and is trust worthy.

My family and I adopted our Shepherd Rex when he was only 2 and a half months old. Since it was our very first puppy, we knew that we needed to sign him up for some sort of training in a few months. We considered doing training at our local Petco or Petsmart but after doing some thorough research, I am so happy that we found MasterPaw! The kind of attention we received from having Adam as our dog trainer was far beyond what we would have received at a local pet store. Adam was able to assess what Rex needed right away during the orientation and we gained so much knowledge about training our puppy just from this first meeting. He was always very loving and attentive with our puppy. I really appreciated his positive approach to training and he never suggested any type of training that would harm our dog. During every session, Adam always addressed any questions we had and was very hands-​on in showing us how to address any problems that arose right then and there. He even contacted us after the sessions to give us extra advice to keep in mind between sessions. This is definitely the type of attention that we could not have received at a group training class.
While these are all personal training sessions at our home, Adam will let you know that the training definitely requires a lot of reinforcement by all members of the household. He was very good about trying to make sure that everyone in my family understood how to train Rex and was always on the same page. Since this was our first puppy, we had an endless array of silly questions and Adam was always super nice and willing to answer them whenever! If you are looking for a dog trainer, I definitely recommend Adam and MasterPaw!

We have a 15 months old Vizsla-​Lucky.
Lucky has been in a week training before when he was 6 months old but that did not help at all. He was still pulling the leash on the walk, jump on us and other people who came to visit us. He was stilling things from the counter and would not give them back. He was also doing a lot of damage around the house when left alone outside his crate. Basically, Lucky was a crazy dog that would not listen or respect any of us. After a lot of frustration we decided to give another try for training him. I did a lot of research to find the best trainer I could for Lucky to transform him into nice dog.
I finally found Adam and after talking to him I’ve decided to have him train our Lucky. When Adam showed up at our house I was so impressed how Lucky reacted. He did not jump on him and I could see that he respects Adam right away. Adam took Lucky for 3 weeks in home training. During the training time Adam was easy to reach and communicate with. He was giving me updates on Lucky’s progress and suggestions on how to communicate with Lucky.
I am very happy with Adam’s training. He completely changed our dog. Lucky is finally a good dog now. He listens to us, doesn’t pull the leash, doesn’t still items from the counter and stopped jumping on everybody.
I would strongly recommend Adam to anybody that needs a good dog trainer. Adam is amazing trainer and has a great connection with dogs!

After researching online for dog trainers for our 1 year old English Bulldog we decided on Adam and Masterpaw.
My husband and I really liked his approach and demeanor, after he came to meet us for the first time we were very hopeful he would be able to help us. He is very self assured and confident in his methods regardless of breed or issue.
After working with him the first visit we knew we made the right choice.
Our dog Baxter is very sweet and friendly but also extremely excitable, stubborn, and was starting to show signs of dominance in our household.
Adam has a calm, authoritative way with dogs that they respond to extremely well. He is like the crocodile Dundee of dogs
You can also see how much Adam loves dogs through his interactions with them.
Baxter learned very quickly, improved each session, and Adam came equipped each week with a variety of techniques and training methods. He was very communicative with us throughout about the progress of Baxter and after hearing our input he was very dynamic in adjusting the trainings to address the problem areas with new techniques.
He was also very available between visits for any calls and questions that came up in between. I will point out that my wife and I definitely noticed a difference in Baxters behavior when we practiced the training techniques given by Adam between his visits and when we did not.
If you’re considering dog training you have to be committed to work with your dog in between your visits with Adam and with his help the results will put a smile on your face.
We just added a new member to our family and overall our dog is well behaved around her. My concern, and main reason for talking to Adam initially, was that we would have to give up Baxter for adoption once the baby came, but thanks to Adam and the time he and my family invested in the training we have reassurance and confidence that Baxter will be with us for many years to come.

We have our one year old boxer bruno, he was super crazy my wife was not able to take him out for a simple walk, since we found Adam he gives us a lot of information and bruno change he’s behavior in the first session. Now we have 2 month’s with adam, bruno follows commands fantastic and we already begin the proteccion training. .Adam does an amazing job helping us with bruno

Before working with Adam, I was so frustrated with my adopted dachshund mix, Buddy. I could not get Buddy to walk past the end of our block, let alone get him to stop pulling and tugging at the leash to run back home. I just figured I was dealing with a stubborn dog and things would never change.
It’s been about 3 or 4 weeks since I started working with Adam and I cannot be happier with the results and this isn’t even the end of Buddy’s training! I had a clear goal of getting Buddy to pass a therapy dog test (basic commands, sitting, staying, etc. Nothing crazy) and Adam has been so helpful, listens to my concerns, and is so easy to work with. In just this short amount of time Buddy has so much more confidence. My once shy and timid dog is walking past the end of the block for normal walks, is able to walk right by my side, sit, lay down and so much more. I couldn’t imagine any of this was possible the day I brought Buddy home and I’m so excited to see where this takes us.
Adam and MasterPaw are life savers!
Like I said, this isn’t the end of Buddy’s training so I will definitely update my review once we are done.

After having a horrible experience with a pervious trainer I was hesitant to try another. But Adam took those fears away. My dog Max is a sixth month old dog and he has some aggression towards dogs and men. In just three weeks with Adam I can now walk past both men and dogs and Max only pays attention to me!
It’s only been three weeks and we have seen a transformation in Max. Adam is great to work with and he is very passionate about his work. Go with Adam and Master Paw, you won’t be sorry.

I started working with Adam at MasterPaw just over a month ago with my puppy, Basil, and I’m so happy that I did. Basil came from a rough background and was never socialized, trained, or cared for properly. After a few sessions of training with Adam, Basil is mostly crate trained, walking with me on a leash, and we’re mastering sit this week. It seems like Basil’s confidence has grown exponentially in a way that I would have never been able to do on my own in just one month. The amount of progress Basil has made is fantastic and it’s all thanks to Adam for teaching ME how to communicate and build confidence with my dog.
Aside from the training skills that I’ve learned, Adam is great to work with and easy to talk to. He’s always been available for me and is really accommodating to my personal needs and requests. Overall, I’m extremely satisfied and look forward to our next training session. It’ll be a shame when my dog is too well trained for more sessions!

When we adopted our dog Bailey, a 2 year old border collie/​german shepherd mix, it was soon apparent we needed someone to help us train her. Bailey had some bad habits and little training. This was almost immediately transformed by Adam, who has to be the most patient and knowledgeable dog trainers around. He focused his training sessions not only on Bailey’s needs, but our family’s needs. He knew I was apprehensive about handling a large dog, so he provided me with specific ideas and strategies to help me get over my anxiety. Through his training sessions, he used multiple training strategies and adjusted them specifically for our dog. My husband and I would look forward to our training sessions to learn new tips about training our dog, and Bailey would be just as excited as she waiting for Adam at the window. The result of our training sessions have not only been a more well-​behaved dog, but a happier family.

I was refereed to Adam and have been training with him for the past 5 weeks. As we just finished up our session I cannot believe the change in Daisy. She is much calmer now, and actually listens to me.
MasterPaw and Adam were great. A++
