I first met Andria over 20 years ago. We reconnected a couple years ago when my new pups needed training. Andria is kind, caring and compassionate with her students, both canine and human. Her positive training methods have been extremely helpful for my soft, sensitive pups. Her farm property offers a unique training experience you just won’t find anywhere else. She offers a wide variety of specialized classes to help create well-mannered family companions and community members. Andria is non-judgemental. She is highly skilled and knowledgeable of various canine behaviors and I 100% recommend her.

His was our second class with Andrea and we can’t wait to see which one we take next in the fall. We truly loved the experience.

Andria is truly amazing! We’ve seen such huge progress with our very high energy, now adolescent dog, from doing private sessions and several of her group classes. Her ability to pay attention to each dog during group classes to figure out what they need and calibrate class activities to their level is truly impressive! We just completed her “Around the farm” class which was so fun and really helped our dog start to put together a lot of what we’d practiced in her obedience classes. She is so patient and kind with each dog (and their owners!) and we look forward to taking more classes with her!

Andria is the BEST! There is a huge difference in Mabel's impulsivity and her ability to stay focused in challenging real life situations. We passed CGC, LOVED the holiday manners class and always enjoy and learn a lot during the around the farm classes. Andria is an amazing problem solver. Her flexible thinking, creativity and suggestions have been instrumental to our success. As a full-time working mom with young children, it is hard for me to prioritize and stay focused on dog training. Andria's suggestions, strategies and calm guidance have been a game changer. Can't recommend enough!!!
