Adrienne follows a simple training philosophy that is kind, force-free, and science-based. Her training program shows you the power of positive reinforcement and reward-based training. Her philosophy involves mental stimulation learned through intelligence games, and she’s developed this method over more than a decade.

Brain Training For Dogs is based on the scientifically researched idea of the ‘neuroplasticity’ of the human brain. As Adrienne states on her website, “it’s a well-established idea, researched heavily at Harvard and other leading universities. In other words, our brains are like soft plastic — always capable of molding and changing to learn new habits and behaviors.” And she believes dogs’ brains are exactly the same.

Her stance is that with the proper mental stimulation and positive-reinforcement training, your dog’s brain will become more open and receptive to learning new information and obedience skills.
