Adventure Canine Training has become a standout and leader in the dog training world, both within our area and across the country, recently combining their expertise with the glitz and glam of the entertainment industry. ACT's influence spans various facets of the highly-technical canine training space. From collaborating with renowned country music artists to making high-profile appearances at major events throughout the year, ACT has seen their impact grow exponentially. Their exceptional talent and specialized training take center stage on a multitude of platforms, leaving a lasting impression on audiences everywhere while bringing some hometown pride to Sumner County!

Adventure Canine Training, born out of a deep love and connection with dogs, has swiftly ascended to new heights. While still maintaining an all-encompassing training program for individuals, ACT focuses on building an amazing bond between dogs and owners. Training in the early development stages is based on this, as well as ensuring a lifelong mutual relationship between canine and owner. It all began in college for Brooke O’Brien with the training of a special needs dog who couldn’t be trained using common methods. Traditional food items like treats did not work due to an esophageal disorder. This unique challenge led to the discovery of countless other ways to bring out the best in every dog, fostering a deep bond and a life full of fun and adventure together. Over the years, and through various training opportunities, challenges and public events, this expertise and dedication caught the attention of entertainment producers and directors, landing Adventure Canine Training on the sets of some high-profile music videos and commercials. 

Their first major break was with country artists Maddie & Tae for the award-winning "Woman You Got" music video, which opened the doors to collaborations with other stars like Dolly Parton, Lainey Wilson and Yelawolf. Their work even culminated in a standout commercial for Tractor Supply Company and Purina that aired during this year’s Super Bowl!

What truly sets Adventure Canine Training apart is their unwavering commitment to the well-being of dogs. They believe in tailoring training to each individual dog's needs, focusing on emotional well-being and strengthening the bond between dogs and their owners. Their motto, "Adventures are Meant to be Shared," is a testament to their dedication to enabling dogs and owners to explore life together, from local cafes to wild trails and city streets, with confidence and reassurance.

Despite the glamor of working with celebrities, the heart of Adventure Canine Training remains the same: a deep love for dogs and a desire to see them thrive. They emphasize enriching activities over mere obedience, ensuring dogs live fulfilled, frustration-free lives. ACT is a beacon for dog owners seeking more than just a training program to be able to ensure a lifestyle of adventure and joy for their dogs. 

The Adventure Canine Challenge 5K continues to grow as well, with exciting plans for Fall 2024, making them a dynamic and integral part of the Gallatin community!
