We Have the Best Pet Parents

I attend group training classes here with my pup, the facility is always super clean and smells wonderful and the trainers really know their stuff. Ive never used the daycare or boarding services but if I needed thpse services this is one of the few places I would trust with my dog. The classes are so much fun, ADG has really helped my puppy grow into a happy, confident dog.

- Emily M.

A fun place for all dogs. The manners training was really effective even for our 4 yr old - I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks. The gym is super clean and well equipped. Staff is helpful and knowledgeable.
