Training Holidays & Spicy Dogs: Adam Daines Brings the Fun
Positively Dog Training - The Official Victoria Stilwell Podcast
We’re keeping it light this summer with episodes every other week so you can stay inspired without missing the sunshine.
In this episode of the Victoria Stilwell Positively Podcast, Victoria sits down with UK-based trainer, and VSPDT, Adam Daines. Adam shares the story of how a difficult experience with traditional training methods as a 14-year-old shaped his unwavering commitment to positive reinforcement. Now running his successful business, Avon Dog Services, Adam opens up about his work with working-line dogs who often “go self-employed” when their natural needs aren’t being met. From practical enrichment ideas like tracking and “search and retrieve” games to his pioneering Training Holidays, Adam is redefining what pet dog training can look like. Plus, the two discuss their behind-the-scenes experiences on the Dog Academy series—camera interruptions and all! Whether you're a dog guardian struggling with reactivity or a future trainer trying to find your path, this episode is packed with insight, humor, and heart.
