I can’t recommend Addison highly enough. Working with him transformed my sweet but stubborn pup Arfy from a whirlwind of chaos into the confident companion I always dreamed of. The difference in his behaviors was night and day; I had resigned myself to thinking we’d never fix those stubborn habits like stealing socks and rugs, jumping, pulling on walks, and selective listening, but under Addison’s guidance, they melted away in weeks. It was like magic.

What set this experience apart was the incredible communication which included daily detailed updates straight to my phone, complete with videos showing Arfy’s progression in real time. Watching him nail a “sit-stay” or recall perfectly during a session made my heart swell; it was so reassuring to see the impact unfolding right before my eyes, even when I couldn’t be there.

Addison isn’t just a pro either, he’s a genuinely caring soul who treated Arfy like his own furry family member. And the best part? He nailed the balance of fun AND training. Sessions weren’t drills; they were playful adventures with toys, games, and positive vibes that turned learning into pure joy. This was something I was skeptical of with other trainers.

While working, the peace of mind was priceless, I could finally sleep at night knowing Arfy was in the absolute best hands, safe, happy, and thriving. But Addison didn’t stop at drop-off, his commitment extended far beyond. Post-training, he patiently worked with me one-on-one, checking in regularly via text and even meeting up at local parks and stores to practice in real-world spots. We’d troubleshoot a leash pull at the Lowe’s store or reinforce commands amid park distractions, ensuring every skill transferred seamlessly to our everyday life. It’s rare to find that level of ongoing support!

On top of it all, Addison is just a genuinely good person. Kind, patient, and very understanding. His strong educational background in animal behavior and psychology shines through in every tailored technique, making his services not just effective, but scientifically sound and deeply compassionate.

If you’re on the fence, just do it. Addison and his team are game-changers. Arfy and I are forever grateful!

If you’re looking for a dog trainer, look no further – we cannot recommend ARRf K9 enough! We met Addison (the owner) at the park when we first got our Corgi puppy and instantly knew he was the real deal. Since then, he’s worked with our puppy and our 6-year-old dog on a monthly basis. We’ve utilized him for both in-home training and boarding – both have been great experiences! Our puppy is eight months now and already is potty trained, can walk on a leash and knows the commands “sit, down, stay and come.” We are continuing to work with him and our older dog, who has surprisingly made great progress too. Turns out you can teach an old dog new tricks! Addison is knowledgeable, professional, patient and kind. You won’t regret investing in him and your pup!

We have been working with Addison since August with our German Shepherd and our golden. He has worked wonders with both! Most importantly he works with us teaching us how to communicate with our dogs! He’s incredibly thorough working to find what works for you and your dog. You absolutely won’t regret booking with him!

Not only does he possess a wealth of knowledge about canine behavior and training techniques, but he also has a natural gift for connecting with animals. His patience and positive reinforcement methods truly transform behaviors in positive ways.
What sets Addison apart is his personalized approach to training. He takes time to understand your dog's unique personality and tailors the training program to suit it’s individual needs.
