Hi, I'm Adalee!
Owner • Head Trainer
I've always had a passion for working with dogs and their owners, helping them build better communication using modern, cutting-edge methods.
My journey began at 16 when I started apprenticing under professional trainers, shadowing their daily routines, lessons, and client interactions. Over the years, I studied various training methods, developing my own approach—combining technical skill, intuition, and a deep understanding of each individual dog. I continue to expand my knowledge by attending seminars and taking specialized courses.
In my spare time, I love hiking with my dogs, traveling, and training my Malinois for the sport of French Ring—a precision-based competition that challenges obedience, agility, and protection skills. Trialing, judging, and constant feedback from peers have shaped my ability to work with both highly trained working dogs and pet dogs alike.
I can't wait to meet you and your dog!
Reviews
“Adalee was an amazing trainer for my mini dachshund. I was super nervous to send him away for 3 weeks and she made the process so much better. She constantly sent pictures and videos and would update whenever I asked. Harry is now 1 and still uses the training skills Adalee had taught him."

Adalee worked with our 16 month old chocolate lab Chili, who desperately needed obedience training. After three weeks of intense training, when Chili came home, he was a completely different dog! Adalee spent time with me and my husband teaching us the commands Chili had learned, and making sure we are comfortable to continue the training.
Sylvia W. & Chilli
When Andi, my 2 years old Golden Doodle, left for camp she was fear reactive to other dogs and people, she would bark constantly until they were out of sight. She was very possessive of balls and became aggressive with my young nephews. She would pull so hard on walks she would wheeze and gag. She had no leash manners, and wouldn’t listen to any of my commands. Going outside was unbearable and I was getting very frustrated. She would bark anytime someone past by our front door and would pace around the house when we would eat at the table. Andi spent 3.5 weeks with Adalee and when she came back I had a new dog. We are able to go outside with no leash at all, and just an e-collar. She follows my commands and doesn’t even acknowledge other dogs or people.
