Andrea Arden Dog Training

Andrea Arden Dog Training was the biggest and best step forward for my pup Jasper and me. As a very young rescue, my pup needed guidance in puppy socialization and confidence building, as well as a job to play hard at. The trainers were amazing, force free and positive, winning Jasper over before I told them about her stranger danger-she loved them! This incredible team set us on the right path-Agility for life! Thanks to Katrina for moving us forward in agility (truly life changing), Andrea, Lara, Hannah, Melanie and the rest of the team for building our foundation and setting us up for success! Highly recommend!

I only have AMAZING things to say about Hannah. From our very first session, she displayed an unparalleled level of expertise and dedication to the development of our Bernese Mountain Puppy, George.George quickly mastered foundational commands such as sitting and responding to his name after session #1. After three sessions, George knew how to sit, stay, "leave it", lie down, roll over, paw, spin, among others.Hannah's approach extends well beyond obedience training. She goes into depth with schedule management, effective potty training techniques, crate training (which before Hannah was SO challenging for us!!), and walk-training strategies.What sets Hannah apart is not only her profound knowledge, but her unwavering commitment to addressing every single question and concern my husband and I had. Whether in person or through prompt and thorough responses over email and text, Hannah ensured we felt supported every step of the way.I wholeheartedly recommend Hannah for anyone seeking professional and effective dog training. The transformation we've seen in George in just a few weeks is crazy!! You'll be so happy you did it.

I have a small dog with medical issues that has never stayed with anyone other than my mom (needs medicine at specific times during the day and someone to be perceptive of his needs). After meeting Andrea and her team at a class, I quickly became comfortable that I could trust them and not think twice. The board & train program was so impactful for him and I was able to be away without a worry - I am so grateful! Andrea is incredible and so is everyone who works with her.

Our experience with Andrea Arden Dog Training was exceptional. Their puppy playgroup program provides a well-structured environment for puppies to interact and form good habits early on. We also booked private training sessions with Lara, who taught us invaluable tips and tricks to keep Sally engaged during walks in the hectic NYC streets. Lara's passion for her job was evident and infectious. Following this, we boarded our golden retriever puppy, Sally, with Andrea, which solidified our trust in their high level of commitment and care. We couldn't recommend Andrea Arden Dog Training more enthusiastically to any new pet owners navigating the urban puppy raising experience.

The first thing any dog owner should realize is dog training is more about training us, the owners. It takes daily work, patience and space for mistakes and corrections. Andrea Arden is a wonderful dog training organization that supports the training of the owner as much as the training of the dog.They take the responsibility seriously. The price for the class is worth every single penny and it’s very competitively priced. The classes are small which allows for one on one for each training point; they understand how to manage personalities (of both dogs and dog owners); they provide homework that is challenging and engaging and really forces you to pay attention to how you are working with your animal, which really in the end helps you develop both a passive and an active communication style with your dog. They teach you how to read your dog and set the animal up for success. All of their trainers have very different training approaches but together have a fused style of education, so you can take any class that works for your schedule. I refer them to everyone and even though my dog is at the Good Citizen stage of training, I still keep in touch with my dog’s trainer for tips and skill brush ups.Andrea Arden has set me and my dog up for success and has provided me with a tool to ensure my dog is a proven “good boy”.
