I go to ADA for their obedience and Life Skills classes. I’m in the middle of class two, and I am excited to get through all three and hopefully onto agility! I love their tiered comprehensive training program, and they have very knowledgeable and friendly trainers. They’ve been a great help as I’ve been raising my first puppy. I did an exhaustive search of training classes in the city, and All Dog Adventures stood out for their moderate price and glowing reviews.”

About Us
All Dog Adventures opened as the first doggy daycare in Richmond, VA, in Huguenot Village in Richmond’s Southside. Since then, we have helped thousands of owners and pets improve their relationships through our Life Skills courses, doggie daycare services, and advanced training. Our team of dog experts loves to educate others on having the best relationships with their pets.
Humble Beginnings
In 1996, All Dog Playskool opened in Richmond, VA, in Huguenot Village in Richmond’s Southside as the first doggie daycare. Some of our first seminars were conducted by Gary Wilkes, Sue Sternberg, and Peter Wilkes from England, to name a few.
In 1998, All Dog Playskool opened its second location on Thalbro Street in the Scott’s Addition / West End of Richmond. With the second location, All Dog Playskool added more group training classes, with the first of many was establishing an unequivocal agility program. In addition, All Dog Playskool added boarding and a self-serve dog wash.
Transforming into All Dog Adventures
With the expansion of All Dog Playskool’s training programs, the business relocated in 2009 to 4111 W. Clay Street, Scott’s Addition / West End. It expanded its name to All Dog Adventures to include the new philosophy of taking relationships to a higher level.
All Dog Adventures is the home of multiple Master Agility Champions (MACH’s), Agility Dog Champions (ADCH’s), and Trick Dog Champions (TDCH’s), as well as numerous titled dogs in Obedience and Rally Obedience in various venues, i.e., AKC, USDAA / WCRL, UKC, C-WAGS, etc. In addition, many of All Dog Adventures’ dogs have become Canine Good Citizens, Therapy Dogs, and actors in local commercials.
All Dog Adventures continues to grow by offering continuing education seminars conducted by dog trainers considered to be at the top of their profession from all over the world and expanding class offerings to accommodate the evolution of dog sports and activities.
