Testimonals

LUCY

We reached out to Leah at Pawsadventure because we are having problem with our puppy,  she kept pulling & barking when she saw people/ dogs  when  she being walked and tried to approached them or bark non-stop  if she saw anything passed infront of our house. It got to the point everyone in the household stressed due to situation.

Leah was wonderful, she came to our house, assessed the situation.  She explained to  us why our puppy behave the way she was and give us tools, tips on how we can manage the situation. 

Within a week our puppy able to walk calmly and now she able to be walk loose lead.  Within a short time her barking is under control,  she is mostly ignore anything that passed infront of our house or just growl a bit nowadays. 

And during this time Leah always very supportive with encouragement if I sent her messages.

PIPER

Paws Adventure were wonderful with our Piper. Wendy, in particular, was friendly and loving, and took very good care of her on her outings. Piper grew with confidence as the sessions went on, and she looked forward to going out. We also appreciated seeing the beautiful photos of Piper on Instagram on the days she went. The whole process of picking and dropping Piper off was easy and carefree. I would highly recommend and look forward to using them again in the future.

REGGIE

Leah and her team have been working Reginald since he was a hyperactive 9 week old puppy! A lot of the behaviours that were causing some stress (he was a bitey, crazy energetic puppy who refused to settle down!!)- they helped us understand how to limit and redirect his behaviour and in no time at all we were seeing results. After some months of hard work he’s a really relaxed and pleasant dog! There was so much conflicting and counterintuitive information out there and Leah cut through it all with strategies tailored to our dog and our circumstances.

We now send Reggie out on adventure daycare with the girls and it’s been great for both his interactions and confidence with other dogs and our own peace of mind knowing he’s happy and busy!

MARLA

Thank you so much for your care of Marla each week. It has made a huge difference to her confidence and I can just tell she loves it. I keep recommending you to everyone I know as I think you guys are the best. 

MARLEY

We joined Paws Adventure after meeing a session at the Park and seeing that Marley clearly wanted to hang with the cool fur gang. I had previously thought that doggy day care would be indoors and expensive. I could not believe my luck in finding Paws Adventure. Right from the start and consistently, the level of customer service has surpassed my expectations. Since joining Paws Adventure, Marley has gained confidence with people and with dogs. The beautiful women who operate this service are educated in animal care and training and it really shows. My only issue is jealousy as my dog loves them too much! We all look forward to her sessions and have the added bonus that she's so relaxed afterwards. Thank you ladies.

NYLAH

Leah offers a fantastic daycare service,flexible,reliable and great value. Nylah absolutely loves her as do all dogs!
She makes things so easy by collecting her and dropping her back home. Nylah has a wonderful time playing and socialising with the rest of the gang. I also love all the photos and videos Leah takes on every session. She looks so happy and always comes home smiling and exhausted- just how I like her!

​

Leah was also helpful and patient with Nylah. I have already noticed a difference on her walks and bonus she was exhausted after her 1 hour training session.

LULU

Lulu has come so far since Leah and her team have been looking after her. In recent years she has formed slight aggression towards other dogs, Leah has been able to socialise Lulu in only a few short months and now she happily plays with other dogs in Leah's care.

We've notice a big change in Lulu, she seems calmer and happier and we can now take her for walks without worrying. We've learnt a lot about Lulu and how to manage her around other dogs and it's so nice to see her playful again. We love that we get photos and videos too!

Thanks so much Leah!

BENJI

Leah is so good with our nearly 2 year old Kelpie X. From the moment Benji met Leah he took to her right away. He now..
On a weekly basis.....excitedly awaits her arrival in the driveway for his outing with her & the other dogs.
He has built more confidence with going out in public & being around other dogs.
We would thoroughly recommend Leah & her skills to anyone thinking of using her services.
Thank you ...Leah 😊🐶

MEESHA

Meesha had a wonderful day! She was pooped when she came home. Leah sent photos during the day to see how Meesha was enjoying herself. Very impressed so I will be booking Meesha in on a weekly basis.
Thank you Leah.

ARNIE & MAX

This is a fantastic service that accommodates the needs of individual dogs. My boys love going with Leah and her professionalism and expertise is highly regarded. Both Max and Arnie are exhausted when they return home after a session with Leah. They love socializing with other dogs and Max loves being the centre of attention.🙂What I also love is receiving the photos or videos whilst the boys are in daycare. This just makes my day. Thank you!

ASTRO

Leah is so amazing with dogs. You can see her passion and understanding towards all personalities and in her work. I’ve noticed a change in my dog’s reaction to other dogs since going with Leah- he isn’t nipping as much anymore and he’s interacting so much better. Very happy! Would recommend her to anyone who has any breed of dog with any personality!

BEAR

The team at Paws Adventure, specifically Leah has changed our life completely! Bear is a very nervous reactive dog that also pulled a lot during his walk. Previous ‘balanced trainer’ we had, had Bear fitted with a head haltie / slip collar/ double ended leash to control his pulling, and told us to ‘walk more confidently’ - Very vague instruction with little to no implementable technique, not to mention those new restraints were very uncomfortable for Bear. Needless to say, a few months later, we were still having issues with no visible improvements. And we heard about Paws Adventure from word of mouth. From the very first session, Leah has taught us simple, actionable techniques and strategies that we could implement right away. Literally, at the initial greeting at the door, she has instructed us to remove the haltie/double ended leash and we have never looked back since! Instead of having to rely on those uncomfortable restraints, she has taught us actual skills to improve his behaviours. So since that very first day, we have not used halties/ slip collar /double ended leash again. With consistent training sessions with Leah, as well as training at home using the technique we’ve learned from her, we are now able to walk around the park without having to look around our environment every 5 seconds and feeling stressed all the time. We are now at the point where we are actually able to enjoy our walk with Bear – and I’m sure Bear enjoys his restraints free walk, too!

One thing I really appreciate with Leah’s approach is that the length she goes to ensure each dog’s training sessions are maximised. For example, on a several occasions she has organised with one of her staff and their dog, to come along to his session, so that Bear could cross paths with them and get some training in to work on reducing his reactivity. I didn’t even have to ask for that!

During hand over session (Due to Leah’s materiny leave), she made sure to arrive at my place first, and organised another staff member (Rose) to come by little later so we could do further training together, introducing new people to the house. The little attention to detail and logistics really puts my mind at ease. The Paws Adventure team has been amazing for Bear and I have already recommended their service to a lot of people. If you have a reactive dog that needs training – or if you just need someone super fun and reliable to look after your furchild – then Paws Adventure is for you! Oh! Also would like to add that Leah and Rose are vet nurses!!!!!! It was a massive deciding factor in deciding on Paws Adventure, as Bear was a frequent flyer to the vet – always getting into random trouble out on the walks like stepping on pointy seeds, spraining, snorting grass seeds etc. so it’s a huuuuuge peace of mind, knowing that he is in capable hands if he were to find himself in trouble. Thanks for all your help so far! Bear, Marina and Sam 

BRACE

I cannot recommend Paws Adventure more highly. Brace has been focusing on loose lead walking and has improved significantly in just a few sessions. He is always so excited when he sees one of the girls collecting him, doing circle work and a little dance in anticipation of his adventure.  He is more confident and well behaved around other dogs now and generally a lot more happier. 

OLLIE

We contacted Leah at Paws Adventure Daycare Adelaide for some help with our 2 year old Dalmatian, Ollie and are so pleased we did.  Ollie was well socialised from a pup and generally a happy player amongst her 4 legged friends.  Over time however she developed the bad habit of barking, growling (and basically going bananas) when she saw or passed another dog on the lead. Off lead she was a happy camper of course!  We thought we could shake this bad behaviour with the life lessons we knew, but how wrong we were! 

Leah trained us (owners) on how dogs think, why they react and how we need to act in the moment.  She made us see that Ollie's reactions were a sign of nervousness and not anger towards other dogs approaching. Leah got us practicing practical skills in real life situations, focusing back to the basics using positive reinforcement with repetition of recalls and games to stimulate Ollie's focus back on us. We trained at the local park where Leah could see it all first hand.  

We now practice these on our daily outings and even after the first session could see positive results.  We still have a way to go to calm down her reactions when on the lead however understanding what triggers Ollie has dramatically improved our experience and is slowly minimising reaction times.  We already have one very happy pup and more confident owners!  Ollie now attends Leah's group daycare once a month, which she continues to work with Ollie.  

REMY

​

Remy had an incident with a large dog when he was only 6 months old. As a result he became nervous around other dogs and started some fearful behaviours towards other dogs.

Since Leah began working with Remy, he has started to look to interact and socialise with other dogs. I have become a more confident owner and am understanding what his body language is telling me. Leah has put a lot of herself into developing her relationship and trust with Remy and I am loving the videos and photos she texts me to show me how well he is doing in his sessions.

I highly recommend Paws Adventure Daycare because they genuinely love what they are doing.

MOOSE

I took moose to the beach many times over my holidays - he was on and off of the lead and was *nearly a perfect angel! Hardly any reactivity to other dogs. He’s so much better! And I think it’s a all to do with the adventures he’s had with you and Rose! So a big big thank you from me and Moosey! It seems if I drive him away from the house somewhere and then go for a walk his reactivity is better. Anyway, it’s great that moose is so much better. So thank you again

ROCKY

I am so amazed at the progress I have seen in my rescue pup, Rocky, since he has been going for training with Leah, doing Solo Madness sessions. Leah is highly skilled and has a deep understanding of dogs and dog behaviour. I trust Leah to take care of my dog and he is always ecstatic to see her.

KURU

Love the care and attention that is given to dogs in the sessions. I have a clear conscience knowing he is in safe hands and share the excitement my dog does, knowing how excited he gets for his group adventures.
