Buck Bartholomew is Gering's very own dog whisperer! We adopted a rescue dog 4 years ago and she…read moreneeded some training to help her learn to behave. We chose to work with Buck and I am so glad that we did. Ruby is now a proper lady. The first thing Buck helped us with was crate training. Then he worked with us to teach her basic commands. When we had problems or needed support, Buck was always available to help. Four years later, we adopted another rescue and Ruby was having a hard time adjusting to him. Buck came by for 30 minutes and worked with her again. He gave us a few things to work on with her and gave us a super fast refresher course on crate training for our new dog. Now Jasper is crate trained and our dogs get along beautifully. Buck knows his stuff and I highly recommend him to anyone in need of help with their dog(s).

Not only was the ADI-K9 Training crew respectful of my home, they delivered on their word and guarantees from our first consultation. I would absolutely recommend ADI-K9 Training to everybody looking for any task of training for their dog!

This man, regardless of what he says, is not certified as a trainer in any way. He not only lies…read moreto the public about this, but claims that organizations such as the American Kennel Club recognize him or certify him as a trainer in some way, when they actually have no association. Numerous dogs that have been "trained" by this individual, and have experienced little to negative progress in their pets. Beyond all this, he continuously bashes other trainers in the area that actually are who they say they are, hindering the growth of helpful local businesses. This is definitely not someone I would trust to provide reliable information about pet ownership and training!

The report cards they give are a great way to know how your dog is doing there and if training in an area is addressed. All I know is that my dog is a much better behaved dog since he starting attending day care there.

I took a class last winter, hopefully this teacher is no longer there. She was young. I was not…read moreimpressed because she wasn't focused on her students. I should have asked for my money back. She often rushed through things. She didn't have an awareness of how to teach human adults, by saying something , show something, say it again in a different way, show it again slowly. She said it once, showed it quickly then expected us to do it. She would show something, then have us go do it while she talked with her friends she brought in. She didn't pay attention to her students. She only offered help when I was struggling if I asked for her help, she didn't notice when people were struggling. She was stern and not approachable. She said she had lots of experience training. Perhaps that was true but she needs to work on people skills to be a group dog trainer. This intro class was designed to rush us through a program of a bunch of different things every time so that maybe we felt we learned a lot and got our moneys worth, rather than make sure we had important things down really well. The instructor said that after we finished the class we could come in for open play. I called and left a message about this twice but no one called me back. The place was freezing cold in the winter and smelly. I've heard other people like this place, but I won't go back. I also read the review about a woman abusing a dog here and people being rude. Big fat NO.
