Positive reinforcement-based training and boarding for pet and service dogs in Toronto.

We have worked with Adrian for several years now, and they board our dog frequently. Adrian is an incredible trainer with a huge amount of experience. They’re able to handle multiple dogs at once while still giving each dog the individual attention, structure, and care they need.
One of the things we appreciate most is how thoughtful and enriching their approach is. They take the dogs on amazing hikes and are always incorporating training into daily life, so when our dog stays with Adrian, we know training is not only being maintained but actively reinforced and practiced.
We also really value the detailed updates Adrian sends. We always receive thoughtful messages and lots of photos, which gives us a clear picture of how our dog is doing and total peace of mind.
We trust Adrian completely and can’t recommend them highly enough!

"Adrian has helped Seamus so much. At one point in his puppyhood, we did not know if I could keep him. He was so super energetic and wouldn't listen to anyone! Adrian both trained and walked Seamus and today thanks to Adrian I have a sweet loveable boy who can't wait for his walks. He loves Adrian!"

"Adrian is my go-to person to watch my dog for me. I have a high-energy dog who has lots of needs. I have had trouble in the past finding someone I can trust to watch her. Ever since finding Adrian, my worries are gone!
They are compassionate, knowledgeable, flexible, and truly put the dogs in their care first and foremost. They send me updates of how my girl is doing, meets all her physical needs, and makes my dog feel at home. My dog likes being at their house more than mine LOL.
I don’t know what I would do without Adrian!

Adrian is incredible. Since starting training, we’ve seen a massive shift in our 12-year-old Havanese—he’s significantly calmer around other dogs and gets less nervous with others. Even at his age, he’s clearly found a new best friend; he spends all morning looking out the window waiting for Adrian to arrive. It’s great knowing he’s in such capable hands and coming home both better behaved and genuinely happy. We couldn’t be more impressed with the progress.

[Adrian] is an absolute pleasure to work with. They are organized and on top of scheduling and communicating. Thanks for being a part of our family!"

"Roam is absolutely amazing! Adrian is such a fantastic trainer and gives you and your dog the tools you need to keep working together after their part of the job is done: exercises to keep doing after training, and tips if you're having trouble with anything. I love that it is positive reinforcement training because this means my dog isn't scared to work or train with me.
My dog is the best girl, and I have Adrian and Roam to thank for that.
If you need someone who will help give you and your dog the tools to have the best time together, Adrian is definitely your person."

"Adrian has become our dog's new best friend! Adrian is reliable, responsive, and an absolute pleasure to interact with. We can always count on Adrian to give [our dog] a great walk, and the pictures they send make us feel like we were there too (and are also great for his Instagram).
We feel so lucky to be on Adrian's roster!"

"I love the daily photos and feedback; my dog seems to be having the time of her life every day she goes out! Keep up the good work!"

"Adrian has been amazing! We have a reactive dog with anxiety who can sometimes be unpredictable with new people and new dogs. We also live in an area where, in order to get to a great trail, you have to walk through an area that often has off-leash dogs. Adrian has found ways to incorporate this into our dog's training and has been very successful in helping her improve week after week. The post-walk summaries and photos are an excellent touch to feel like you are connected with your pup even when you aren't there.
Adrian has also been excellent with giving us tips and tricks for training we can perform outside of the walks. Our dog suffers from anxiety in the car as well, and Adrian will go out of the way to take her on small car rides before or after a walk to help make those experiences more comfortable. I'd highly recommend Adrian and Roam Dog Training, and you can feel confident that your dog is in good hands!"

"My dog is unfortunately not an easy dog to board. He is very sensitive, very active, has a few too many behavioural quirks, and has an anxious pet parent to boot. Ari handled all of the above with grace, enthusiasm, and confidence. I am so grateful to have them as an option for boarding and would recommend them in a heartbeat (and already have!)."

"Adrian is incredibly flexible and fair in terms of timing and delivery of their services. Our dog used to be overworked and sad with his previous dog-walking company. Adrian has brought back our dog and his happiness.
Their attention to the dog's needs and individual walk styles/behaviours is incredible, and I've never seen our dog so excited each day for his walk. Adrian recognizes that working with too many dogs at once doesn't allow for the proper attention each pup needs, and we love that he's never with more than 3 dogs at a time. Adrian arrives on time and on schedule, and if for whatever reason they are running late, we're advised in advance.
​
We HIGHLY recommend Adrian & Roam Dog Training. Thank you, Adrian!"
