After adopting Ghostie, I enrolled him in Adriana’s Teenage Puppy Class, and the changes in his behaviour were incredible to see. Adriana focuses on positive reinforcement, ensuring that every dog feels happy, confident, and supported throughout the training process. I also booked a private session, which was a fantastic opportunity to receive personalised advice on the best ways to train Ghostie. Adriana took the time to understand his needs and provided practical strategies that have made a real difference. I would highly recommend getting in touch with Adriana to see how she can help you and your dog. Her knowledge, patience, and positive approach make training an enjoyable experience for both dogs and their owners.

We had such a great experience with Adriana training our Golden Retriever, Bailey. She’s now 7 months old, and we saw such a positive difference in her behaviour after working together.
Helpful ReviewAdriana was always patient, easy to talk to, and really understood how to work with Bailey in a way that suited her personality. The training felt very practical and manageable, which made it easier for us to stay consistent at home.
One thing we really loved was the weekly materials Adriana sent through—they were super helpful and made it so much easier to remember what we’d covered and keep practicing in between sessions.
Overall, we’re really happy with the experience and would definitely recommend Adriana to anyone looking for a dog trainer!

Bailey was enrolled in the Seaford Junior Puppy School course. You were very committed dog owners and Bailey showed a lot of improvement towards the end of the course. You worked hard and it really showed. Bailey is a sweet loving dog and you are very lucky to have her. Her focus on you in the presence of distractions improved a lot, huge improvements with her recall, lead walking & stay exercises too. Top marks for you Bailey. 👍

We took our Aussie Bulldog, Graham to junior puppy school and teenager puppy school with Adriana at Pet Pals Dog Training.
Helpful ReviewThe difference was HUGE! Both times! We highly recommend Adriana, not only is she great with dogs (obviously) but her classes are really beneficial for us owners to learn how to train and develop good routines and habits. Graham was scared of going for walks when he was little, but after classes and some extra time with Adriana, he now loves walking!
Adriana is also very generous with her time and resources, providing lots of information sheets and making herself accessible outside of class time.

We recently completed Adriana’s teenage course – it was a huge help as we navigate our golden retrievers rebellious teenage stage. Adriana is so generous with her time and knowledge and has made a lasting impact on our future with our dog. Highly recommend anyone who is needing some help, it does get better!

Ruby and I have just completed the junior puppy school @KCC Park. This course was extremely beneficial for us and valuable training techniques and handling. We have also signed up for Adriana’s teenage class @KCC Park to continue training. Ruby has thrived from Adriana and teaching positive reinforcements. We wouldn’t take Ruby anywhere else!

Summer and I had a great experience with Adriana at the KCC park Junior Puppy School. From the very first session, Adriana was patient, knowledgeable, and incredibly positive. Her approach to training used positive reinforcement and was gentle and effective. We highly recommend Pet Pals Dog Training.

Bronson and I just completed the KCC Park Teenager Puppy School Course. Adriana was wonderful, she is kind, caring and knowledgable. Adriana uses only positive reinforcement and taught us some valuble skills and great foundations for ongoing training. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to attend a puppy school or wanting additional dog training. Thankyou!

Bronson & you did incredibly well in our Teenager Puppy School program. You both worked really hard and he was so focused, calm and relaxed all the way. The whole group was absolutely awesome. It was certainly challenging at times to do all those exercises in the presence of other 5 older puppies but he thrived and really enjoyed himself while really paying attention on you. Well done Bronson & Belinda! And thank you so much for believing that positive reinforcement is the way to go…
Helpful ReviewMark Nilsson
Adriana has been such a positive influence on both us and our dog, Patrick. Her calm and thoughtful approach made every session feel relaxed and encouraging, and she took the time to explain not just what to do, but why certain behaviours happen. We saw real progress with Patrick sooner than we expected, and the skills she taught us have given us the confidence to keep guiding his learning as he grows from a puppy into adulthood. Adriana’s practical, positive training style truly sets her apart, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone wanting lasting results with their dog.

My puppy Archie was a handful, a bit of a nightmare in fact. Cute but extremely excitable. Adriana to the rescue thanks to the recommendation of a friend. Adriana taught me how to train him to be calm, behave politely and lots of other stuff. I’m so grateful. In addition to private sessions Adriana also emailed training notes and video clips enabling me to recap. She is so experienced, knowledgeable and is generous with her time. I know that if I need help she is only a phone call away. Thanks from Archie and I.

We recently attended Pet Pals Dog Training and had such a great experience! From day one, it was clear Adriana really knows her stuff. She’s incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and clearly passionate about what she does.
Adriana made the sessions fun and engaging for us and our puppy Marley, and gave us super helpful tips we could use at home too.
Highly recommend her if you’re looking for someone who truly understands dogs and how to train them in a positive, effective way. Thanks again Adriana for everything!

Adriana was a wonderful trainer for our young ACD. Our girl was 12 weeks over Christmas holidays, so Adriana visited our home and gave us some tips and tricks to get us through to the Feb sessions. Adriana is very patient and loving with the pups, and we have a lovely and (relatively) well behaved girl as a result.

Adriana has worked so hard with us and our gorgeous boy to help him overcome a lot of challenges that he came to us with from the lost dogs home. Her expertise and love for our boy has made her an invaluable part of his life. He is always so excited when he sees her car come down the street and she has always been flexible, helpful and proactive in her work with our large dog.

I can’t recommend Adriana and her “Life Skills & Manners 6-week course” enough! Adriana was amazing to work with —she took the time to tailor the program to my dog, Poppee’s, unique needs, which made such a difference. Her flexibility and understanding were truly appreciated. I loved being able to borrow resources during the course, and the extra emails and training materials were so helpful for continuing the progress at home. Adriana even made a cute certificate for Poppee and we love it so much! Poppee and I both learned so much, and we are excited to keep up the good work with her training. If you’re looking for a personalised, thoughtful, and effective training experience, for a great price – Adriana is the one to work with!

Adriana is a wonderful dog trainer- very knowledgeable and she genuinely cares about dogs (and their humans). Her classes are very well thought out and she explains everything with much patience.
We’ve never had a dog and needed a lot of guidance. Our cavoodle did junior and teenager puppy school with her and she helped our family when I was unable to walk him due to injury.
Highly recommend Adriana and her services if you are looking for a supportive, dedicated and experienced dog trainer!

Adriana is a fully qualified positive reinforcement dog trainer who is great at what she does and is very affordable! She is very flexible and can meet online if you live too far away. We have been working on preparing our dog for the arrival of our baby and working on his over excitement when guests come over as well as loose leash walking, place stays, leave it, etc… My dog has responded well to Adriana’s techniques and we have made progress. As with all training it takes time and patience but you’ll get there!
