The Art Of K9 Dog Training & Behavior Modification

We sent our dog Monsi to Angelo- originally because of socialization problems, yet she surprised us and came out with so many higher level qualities we didn’t anticipate or know was possible. At first, we second guessed our choice to leave Monsi for 6-weeks because we missed her. Every time we checked in with Angelo, he updated us, but we missed our fur baby so much. Now, afterwards, I can’t stop recommending this program to everyone I know. It’s a worthwhile investment IF you plan to KEEP UP with it. All of Angelo’s work can easily be undone with dog owners that do not upkeep the foundation he creates. Currently our dog listens to each command after one time saying it, she is walking off leash behind us, does not lurk around the table while we eat or cook, stays in place for 2-hours and counting, and more. Overall, she has many service dog qualities. I need to give credit where it is due because our dog was unsure of herself, very anxious, annoying at times because she didn’t know what to do during quiet hours at home and needed way too much physical exercise (4+ hours daily). He taught us, and our dog Monsi, that exercise and socialization looks different than we thought. Monsi is the dog we dreamed of and didn’t know how to achieve. He tapped into her potential. She does not impede our life in anyway. She adds on to the quality and is stress free now that we know how to maintain and handle her. Not only that, but my parents sent their dog at the same time as our dog. So now we have two dogs that listen to the same command. We can bring our dogs on vacation and have complete calm and fun with them present. This was the greatest gift to a life of joy with a well trained fur family member! Thank you Angelo and Art of K9. I know picking a program at such a cost is nerve recking since there is not enough information or proof online but promise me, this is the place. We put a lot of trust into prior reviews and tiktok/Instagram videos.... We got lucky finding this place. It’s a hidden gem of Westchester. If anyone needs more details to convince you this program is worth it, contact me. I’ll convince you- haha!

When we adopted our 5 month old Husky Suki, we were already his 3rd home and he had clearly not received the training or attention he needed. Bottom line was, we were in over our head and didn't know what more to do since positive reinforcement training wasn't doing it. Since working with Angelo, Suki is a completely different dog. He is calm and balanced, is more responsive, less anxious and stubborn and overall just seems like a more happy pup. The tools we learned with Angelo and the knowledge he provided were invaluable and will carry through for the rest of his life!

Literally changed my pup for the better. Whiskey came there when she was about 6 months (she is a Hungarian Vizsla). Although she was a great addition to our house she had no real structure and had issues with leash pulling and listening to our commands. We tried other dog training methods and they did not really stick with her cause she was so stubborn. When we got here she literally changed within 1 class. Her walk was better, she was listening and paying attention to us and she got more confident in new situations. We only needed 5 classes!! I would say that if you really want to see an immediate long lasting change then it is definitely worth it to do.

could not have asked for a better experience at a training facility. Previous to the Art Of K9, my six-year-old bichon cocker spaniel mix and I had been to countless trainers and programs all who have not been able to help. Angelo and the Art of K9 have done what other trainers told me was impossible, helping train Louie to be less anxious, build his confidence, and eliminate his fear aggression. Previous trainers had me barking at my dog (yes you read correctly), leaving him in bedrooms until he stopped barking, and some wouldn’t even come in contact with him since he was a 16 lb. dog who has aggression issues. Louie has a history of excessive barking, was not crate trained, had a history of biting, pulled the leash on walks, and never listened unless he wanted to (he’s a very stubborn dog). I enrolled Louis in the six week board and train program with Angelo. Although the first three weeks were very difficult for me, every single moment and Penny was worth the results. Friends and family who meet the new and improved Louie can’t believe he’s the same dog. Angelo was very responsive throughout the six week program, even for a crazy dog mom like me who have never been away from her pup for more than a week. It has now been two months that Louie has been home. For the first time in his entire life, he can run around our front and backyard without a leash and will return on command. He has attended dinner parties with us and at our home, which previously we had never been able to do out of fear that Louis would lunch or become aggressive. He has interacted with children and other dogs in our home for the first time in his life as well. Honestly, I wish I would have sent Louie to Angelo sooner. The Art of K9 should be the only trainers alfalfa. I cannot think you and your team enough for what you have done for our family!!!
