Andrea Arden Dog Training

I recently had a call with Andrea regarding my dog, and trying to rectify some of his behavior. What I didn't expect to get on that first introductory call was such a generous and thoughtful discussion around my dog. A discussion that made me rethink some of his behaviors, as well as some tangible solutions that I have worked. I would have zero hesitation in working with Andrea again in a larger capacity. The intelligence and level of expertise she bought to the problem was impeccable. Highly, HIGHLY recommended.

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”.

Everyone at Andrea Arden is incredible and the style of training is the absolute best - all positive reinforcement, so it's the highlight of my dog's week. We've done puppy training group classes, puppy play group, and one-on-one sessions with Katrina (who is a miracle worker!). The whole team is incredibly knowledge and they all provide a very personalized, nurturing approach. I can't recommend this place enough.

We highly recommend Andrea Arden Dog Training and their team! Within the past year, we've used them for Puppy Socials, Puppy 1, Puppy 2 and Tricks class with Andrea, Jo Anne and Stephanie as the trainers. They all were very well informed and helpful in helping us raise a well behaved and adjusted puppy. It's clear that they all love what they do and were very supportive even outside of class to deal with one off issues. Overall, the training and socialization programs were immensely helpful in educating our dog and us!

We love Andrea Arden dog training! We turned to Andrea Arden after some bad experiences with pet store socials and classes, and we couldn't be happier. We started by attending puppy socials and that quickly turned into puppy classes (thank you Melanie, Lara, and Katrina!), a tricks class (thank you Jo Anne!), and some private home lessons to work on specific housing manners (thank you Melanie, again!). The instructors are clear, helpful, and obviously invested in the dogs. They've been super responsive to questions outside of class and training sessions. Our first year of puppy parenthood would've been a nightmare without them.
