RUFFERENCES
 PROFESSIONAL

I have known Barbara Adler for over 15 years. As a veterinarian for 24 years, I see many dogs and their owners everyday. Barbara has consistently had well-behaved and gentle dogs. This does not occur by happenstance. Not only is Barbara an attentive, loving leader to her dogs, it is obvious that Barbara handles and works with her dogs in a positive manner that results in happy, healthy and well adjusted pets.
  Barbara has expressed her desire to further her education in pursuit of a doctorate in Veterinary medicine with an emphasis on behavioral science. I support her decision to pursue any goal related to animal medicine and behavior.  Barbara loves animals and is passionate about their health, safety and well-being. She would be completely dedicated to her chosen profession of helping pets and their owners and having a positive impact on their lives.
  In summary, I highly recommend Barbara Adler for any position that she should choose and/or seek to pursue in the companion animal field.

To Whom It May Concern:
I have known Barbara Adler for over 10 years, as a client of the veterinary hospital where I was previously employed, and we continue to remain in touch. She is a true animal lover, and would do anything for the well-being of pets. She has always known that her dream was to work in the animal care profession, and she dedicated herself to making it come true. I can vouch for her genuine passion for dogs, having experienced it firsthand. Her patience and fondness for animals makes her an ideal person for this profession. I have witnessed her handling her dogs and her interaction with them was always loving and gentle. In addition, I know her to be an honest and caring person, and I have the utmost confidence in her integrity and dedication to the profession of caring for and training dogs.

I have known Barbara Adler for some time. We met though working at Petco where I was the Companion Animal Department Manager and she was our Dog Trainer. From the time Barbara arrived we witnessed a great increase in sales and as soon as she started her classes it showed why. She would take time out of her personal schedule to do her best to benefit the dogs she was helping. She took in some of the worst behaved dogs and by the end of her courses turned them around to being great family dogs. Since she has left my store, we have not had near the success or compliments from our training program. I would hire Barbara in a heartbeat should I ever encounter a training issue.

Barbara Adler was the Dog Trainer at the Petco Store I managed. Her abilities as a dog trainer are extraordinary. During her first 3 months of employment with the company she brought our store’s dog training sales up by 40%, bringing our store up from last in the division to first, primarily through word of mouth. Barbara is not only a highly experienced and knowledgeable trainer she is a talented trainer. She has that “knack” you rarely see. Seeing the difference in the dogs she trained was outstanding. The pet parents were thrilled and the dogs were actually happier. I highly recommend Barbara as your dog trainer.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

Hi Barbara,
 I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed taking your Basic Obedience Class with Tank. Over the years I have attended other classes through Parks and Recreation and PetSmart. Your class, by far, has been the best. I am looking forward to the Intermediate class.
 Raising K9's Barbara Adler is the best trainer I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. I have trained many dogs over the last 50 years and Barbara is the most informed trainer out there. She knows dogs and her techniques work!!

Guess what!? I had Lilo on the couch and did not want to move her because she was comfortable... got up to go to the bathroom and did a stay hand at Cheeto so he wouldn't move and make Lilo move and it worked! Even though I haven't been totally consistent with the kids! Amazing! So, moral of the story... you ...are a superb trainer who has made my dogs and myself happier!!!!!
Thank you :) xo

After the loss of our 16 year old retriever; my husband brought home Kobe, a 6 week old lab mix. He had been abandoned and abused. The idea of a puppy in the house and all the training issues to come made my head spin!
  Kobe was a handful with endless energy!!  I by chance stopped in a Petco Store and inquired about training classes.
  Then we found Barbara!!
  Barbara Adler is extremely knowledgeable and totally dedicated to her profession. Barbara demonstrated her training techniques with each pup and owner individually as well as observing the “students” try it on their own. In addition to the lesson at hand Barbara would always explain why it was necessary to do things a certain way (often from a dogs’ point of view).  This offered the owners a better understanding of their pups’ behavior and in turn helped to develop a deeper bond.
  Barbara boarded Kobe for us for 5 days while we were out of town. Kobe became part of the family right away!  Tess, her chocolate lab and Kobe soon were best buddies. Kobe slept on his own bed in Barbara’s home along side Tess and Casper the cat. Barbara encouraged me to call her anytime if I had any concerns about Kobe’s stay. She even prepared a “diary” from Kobe describing his daily new adventures. I have never felt better about leaving a pet behind.
  I highly recommend Barbara Adler as a professional trainer and behaviorist. Dogs are her passion and it shows. If anyone wishes to contact me regarding her expertise; Barbara has my permission to give out my phone number.
