After giving classes in basic and advanced obedience and spending the summer teaching Canine Freestyle, Adrienne obtained certification by the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers. Adrienne uses scientifically based training methods focusing on the rewarding world of positive reinforcement training. Her home is surrounded by dog books and her certification program requires her to stay up-to-date with the latest dog training/dog behavior trends.
