Andrea Arden Dog Training

I can’t say enough good things about Hannah. She is absolutely amazing! My puppy learned so much in Puppy 2 and we loved how she managed puppy playtime. She did such a great job of balancing very different puppies and taking challenges seriously while making them feel manageable. I’ve spoken and worked with dozens of trainers over the years and Hannah so far has been my favorite just based on how much she’s helped my dogs and helped me be a better handler for them. Kathy at the front desk was efficient and great with setting everything up. Looking forward to coming back to Andrea Arden for my pups!

The puppy day school is a GOD SEND! We got our 11 week old puppy, Mercy, 10 days ago and really needed an afternoon to just decompress a little. She seemed SO happy when we picked her up, and has been dead asleep for the last four hours lol. It’s so hard when they’re this little to find trustworthy places to take them to give yourself a little breathing room, and we’re so happy we sent her. We got home and immediately booked three more sessions 🤣 and the little report card is such an adorable thoughtful touch! We’re so glad we have this keepsake! We’ve also been doing Zoom sessions with Katrina who has been a really kind and supportive sounding board during a really chaotic transition period! Edit: we also started doing in home training sessions with Stefania (who works with Mercy at puppy day school) and it was SO helpful!! She gave us an actionable, reasonable game plan to help enable Mercy to spend more time alone happily and safely. She was understanding of our limitations and didn’t make us feel like there’s only “one right way” to train a dog (which a lot of our prior research led us to believe). We’re excited to put her recommendations to work and see where it takes us! Highly recommend in home sessions when dealing with something as specific and nuanced as teaching a dog to settle on her own in your home.

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.
