About Us

Adelaide “Addie” Lloyd earned her Bachelor of Business Administration from Stetson University in Spring 2022, graduating with double majors in Marketing and Professional Sales. She went on to complete her Master of Business Administration in Spring 2024, combining her business acumen with her lifelong passion for working dogs.

An avid waterfowl and upland game bird hunter, Addie has been immersed in the sporting lifestyle from an early age. Her journey into the world of gundogs began in April 2017 with her Golden Retriever, Shadow Hill’s Boone Doc. Originally trained as her personal hunting companion, Boone made countless memorable retrieves alongside her family and quickly became the foundation of her passion for retriever training. Under Addie’s guidance, Boone earned multiple hunt test and performance titles, igniting her commitment to developing dogs that excel in both performance and partnership. Today, Addie actively trains and campaigns her personal dogs in retriever and upland venues while continuing to expand her expertise within the sporting dog community. She is a licensed HRC Judge and former President of the Southern Boykin Spaniel Club, reflecting her dedication to leadership, education, and the continued advancement of the sport she loves dearly.

“Having been in the industry for nearly 10 years, I have had the privilege of professionally training several hundred dogs across a wide range of breeds, temperaments, and training objectives. With years of professional experience and dogs trained across a wide variety of breeds, temperaments, and training objectives, I have developed a results-driven approach built on consistency, efficiency, and accountability. Throughout my career, I have repeatedly been responsible for taking dogs from foundation work to finished performance while meeting specific training standards and established deadlines. That experience has taught me not only how to problem solve with dogs of various temperaments, but how to do so systematically and reliably without compromising quality or overpromising results. I know my capabilities and limitations as a trainer, and I believe in setting honest expectations from the very beginning. Rather than overpromising and underdelivering, I provide realistic evaluations, transparent communication, and a training plan designed to achieve lasting results based on the individual dog in front of me. My reputation has been built on consistently producing trained dogs that meet—and often exceed—the goals established for them by both the owners and myself.”
