My name is Kelsey. I own, manage, and teach at the Meadow Ranch! Here's a little background about me! Animals have been a huge source of passion and joy in my life for as long as I can remember. As a result I have been raising dogs, horses and a plethora of other animals for more than 20 years! In that timeI have spent countlesshours dedicated to developing my training technique and have had the privilege of competing at high levels in herding, agility, and obedience. This experience has allowed me to work with a great variety of dogs and people, helping them connect as teams and excel in their chosen paths. My desire in this training program is to show dog handlers how to achieve their personal goals with their canine pals while having a blast doing it! I'm excited to use my expertise to teach how amazing our 4-legged companions can be! My current dogs in training are two a young Border Collies, Flynt + Rip, who are in learning to work and compete in herding, agility, obedience, flyball, disc and dock dog sports, as well as become amazing family dogs! We also have several other dogs on our ranch as pets and working dogs. See our pack for more details on each of our dogs' accomplishments and the dogs we've raised in the past! It has been a dream to find a place where we can raise our kids alongside a variety of animals with space to roam! Beside our dogs, we have horses, sheep, goats, and chickens rounding out our crew on the ranch. My husband, Abe, and three kiddos are my biggest help and support here at the Meadow. Without my family, this ranch would not be the place that it is! Our family relishes time outdoors; whether riding horses, hiking, training dogs, watching the chickens, camping, or wading in the creek, we like to keep busy around here. We also love volleyball, frisbee, softball and honestly, any sport that gets us moving and gives us a competitive outlet!

My #1 dog training tip:
Enjoy what you and your dog do together. Habits are formed out of repetition, good and bad, be mindful of what you are letting your dog learn how to do. If you like something keep it up, if you don't like it, don't let it keep happening!

David Adams is a man of many passions, but his love for dogs stands above all. He is not only a dog lover, but also the founder of an innovative platform called Sniffspot. This unique platform connects dog owners with private property owners who are willing to rent out their space for off-leash playtime. While the idea of Sniffspot was initially conceived by his wife, Rebecca, David has been the driving force behind its remarkable success, tirelessly overseeing its growth and development.
David's dedication to providing safe and enjoyable spaces for dogs to play, explore, and socialize is evident in his unwavering commitment to Sniffspot. He strongly believes that dogs need ample space and opportunities to stretch their legs and have fun. As a result, he has worked tirelessly to build a network of private property owners across the country who share his vision and are willing to offer their space for the benefit of dogs and their owners.
Despite his busy schedule, David always finds time to indulge in his passion for the great outdoors. He loves nothing more than exploring new hiking trails and embarking on thrilling outdoor adventures. Whenever he is not working on Sniffspot, he can often be found hiking or visiting multi-acre fenced sniffspots with his two beloved dogs, Soba and Toshii. He is an avid outdoorsman who enjoys the fresh air, breathtaking scenery, and the sense of freedom that comes with being in nature.
David is based in Salem, MA.
