We’ve had a wonderful experience with Stephania Bedoya and the entire training school. Although Kai has only been attending for a few weeks, we’re already impressed by his progress and how much he enjoys each class.
Stephania is patient, knowledgeable, and excellent at explaining exercises and techniques in ways that are easy to understand and practice at home. She welcomes questions and makes the training process feel comfortable, supportive, and encouraging.
The school provides a warm, organized, and positive environment for puppies and their owners. We’re thrilled with Kai’s growth and highly recommend Stephania and the school!

Andrea and her staff are the best at what they do, hands down. I had hit a wall trying to train my dog myself and finally gave up. I booked a session with Andrea Arden because she has been doing this for 30 years, and you realize very quickly why she has lasted that long. Andrea reads canine behavior perfectly and showed me exactly how I was messing up the training at home and gave me a clear system to fix our dogs bad habits. Once we got his basic obedience under control, we started doing agility with her just to burn off his extra energy. My dog finally listens, and my house is quiet again. Andrea is phenomenally talented and I highly recommend her.

I have taken classes at a few different places in NYC and I truly feel Andrea Arden's is the best. The customer service was professional and patient, the trainer was, well, also professional and patient! But also very fun. My dog looked forward to going to class and practicing the homework.
Any time I emailed, the trainer responded quickly and answered whatever question I had. I look forward to taking another class with there!

My dog benefitted from Andrea’s classes as a puppy, including her puppy socialization classes. Andrea was also the first person to figure out my dog had an animal protein allergy, something that in retrospect should have easily been caught but that his vets somehow painfully kept missing. Appreciate having Andrea’s help at the beginning of my precious dog’s life!
