The Northern Border, LLC

Amazing facility! Dog training at it's best! I met with Adam for a private lesson concerning my two large dogs that over time have become aggressively reactive to most everything, including each other. I've been to many other trainers and wasted alot of time and money with little to no change but after just 15 minutes I could see that Adam was taking a different approach than other have. At first I thought my dogs were going to kill him but as he moved around with them(literally dodging them) he just kept saying " Stay there! We're good, just let it be". I thought he was nuts! but boy was I wrong. After just 30 minutes he had their full attention and he was actually training my dogs TOGETHER!! Then he started working on teaching me commands and how to enforce them with a strict but fair approach. We went over so much in a short period of time that Adam sent me notes to reference as I continue to train my dogs at home. Adam told me that this is not going to be a quick fix and I 100% agree but with Adam's help I finally feel like there is hope in getting control of the problems. Long story short, I can not say enough positive things and will most definitely be back. I already scheduled another private lesson.

I have now utilized The Northern Border's boarding services twice for my challenging-to-manage dog, and I cannot adequately express my satisfaction. My 6-year-old American Bully, Cade, can be highly reactive and difficult to handle, but Adam and his team have been absolutely remarkable in their care for him. Many places turned me down due to Cade's perceived risk, but this team welcomed him without hesitation. I'm willing to drive nearly 3 hours just to board him here. The facility is exceptionally clean and well-maintained, with spacious and immaculate kennels. This time, I had specific meal and medication requests for my dog, and they were more than willing to accommodate them. I will never consider another facility for my current or future dogs. Initially, I was hesitant to leave him anywhere, especially given his age and unfamiliarity with being apart from me. Adam was superb in responding to my messages and alleviating my concerns, even providing photos when requested. I can't express enough gratitude for the outstanding care you provide. I also want to extend my thanks to all the staff who have interacted with Cade during this stressful time for him; you truly go above and beyond!
