About Adventure Paws Training, LLC

Family-owned training in Merritt Island

Adventure Paws Training is a small, family-owned dog training business at 890 N Banana River Drive in Merritt Island, with a climate-controlled training facility for group classes, private sessions and its Canine Academy. Its motto is "Rules without relationship creates rebellion," and its goal is for every dog to reach the level of the Canine Good Citizen test. Training follows the Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive (LIMA) approach: positive, humane methods first, with tools introduced only when needed.

Programs

Board and train programs are tailored to each household and cover social skills, manners, desensitization and outdoor outings, with owner sessions, daily pictures, weekly videos and lifetime support from the dog's trainer. The Canine Academy mixes obedience, tricks, obstacles and enrichment games in a social setting. Group classes include S.T.A.R. Puppy 1 and 2 (4 months to 1 year, 6 weeks, $140), Basic Obedience 1 and 2 (1 year and up, 6 weeks, $140) and four-week Fast-Track Four classes ($115) such as Puppy Kindergarten and Doggy Distractions. Private one-on-one sessions are also offered.
