Meet Your Instructor

My name is Adam Winston. I have helped dogs and their families for over a decade.

After graduating with a bachelor’s degree in 2015, I moved to Western Washington and dedicated my life and studies to humans and their dogs.

My broad work experience includes Animal Caretaker for the King County shelter. I was also the Senior Dog Trainer for the surrounding Seattle Petco district. This was all while attaining a professional certificate in animal behavior from the University of Washington.

I believe that each dog is a unique individual. My philosophies and protocols are rooted in fear-free and reward-based principles.
