We adopted our Emmie from Anna. Not only is she a beautiful dog but she has a sweet disposition. In public she developed reactive behaviors barking at people and other animals that she saw. We enrolled her in Adelhorst’s board and train to address those behaviors. The training that was provided to Emmie and ourselves went beyond our expectations. Emmie stayed a little longer that the two weeks we originally scheduled and now that she is home we are having great success with taking her in public. She has a good start with walking successfully at our side. She can ride in the car without barking at everyone and every dog that we pass. She will drive through a drive up and sit quietly while we receive our food. She sat quietly in the car while we did a grocery pick up and a stranger loaded the bags into the back of the car. We are very pleased with the improvements that we see in Emmie. We look forward to continuing to work with Anna to make Emmie the best dog she can be. Thank you Anna.
I have owned dogs all my life and have never received professional training…it’s been something I never thought I needed help on. While going through classes with Adelhorst, it humbled me a lot. I have learned so much and realize I have much more to learn. I can confidently say that I will use Adelhorst Kennels going forward with all of my dogs. I HIGHLY recommend Adelhorst Kennels to all dog owners, regardless of where you think you’re at.
We adopted River from ARL as a 2 year old who had been returned twice. We knew she was going to be a difficult little girl but we also knew she was so sweet and deserved to find her home. Anna did such an amazing job with her and we are so thrilled. Anna took the time to find the right way River needed to be trained. River will never be a show dog but she is our dog and we know with Anna's guidance she won't need to worry about being returned a third time. I can't thank Anna enough for doing what our family and River needed, for taking the necessary time to do it and being realistic with us. I completely recommend Anna and her methods!
