Andrea Arden Dog Training New York, New Jersey

Best puppy training around. Highly recommended.

Great program, they’re encouraging & break things down simply to help you implement in-home.

Hannah at Andrea Arden was amazing with my rescue Golden Retriever, Charlie, who was terrified of NYC! Charlie was so scared of all the street noises that he didn’t want to go outside at all. By the third session with Hannah, Charlie was going in the elevator willingly and walking around the block. Now, 6 weeks later, I have to pull Charlie out of the park to go home! My heart was breaking for a Charlie - I am so thankful to Hannah!

Love Andrea Arden as a resource for dog owners in NYC! We have utilized them several ways and have been extremely happy with our experience with them. We utilized their puppy play times quite a bit when our dog was a puppy to help socialize our shy dog. The puppy play times, though admittedly a little pricey for us at the time, were well worth it since the puppies get to play for a full hour under vigilant monitoring from their trainers. We tried some free puppy play times in the city and the quality was not the same. We have also signed up for other classes they offer (i.e. agility) to further offer more enrichment opportunities for our dog after she became an adult, and the classes were always really fun and cadenced really well for skill building. Finally, we have been doing their online classes during COVID, and they have also been exceptional. All in all, highly recommended.

We have a 9 month old Bernedoodle who needs a lot of on-leash reactivity work and general obedience training. We have taken group classes + private lessons with Hannah R. and we LOVE working with her! This is a group of highly talented, knowledgeable and down-to-earth dog people in Manhattan (hard to find!). We are grateful for the structured way they presented the lessons, helpful HW, and great advice even when we weren't in class anymore. 100% recommend to any dog-owner in NYC!

I really needed help with a puppy that somehow just really wasn't "getting it" when it came to training. The puppy class and the puppy play groups were really well run and both added a lot of info and insight to what were were missing in our training. I met Andrea at one of the puppy play groups and her love for dogs was immediately obvious when I saw the joy on her face in walking into our group of pups. Nice to have someone that loves what they do. Going to start in agility soon and we are so excited!!!!

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.

We found Andrea Arden Dog Training on Google and could not be happier that we did. We started with Casandra the first week we brought our pup home, and her work with us has been nothing short of transformative. Casandra is smart, caring, intuitive and dedicated. She is patient and truly understands the keys to successful dog training. It is without reservation that we recommend Andrea Arden.

Andrea Arden has been incredible working with us and our dog Brady since he was a puppy. We started out with lessons and group classes along with puppy play time to help socialize him. Given some health issues, Brady was not able to do proper training for most of the first year of his life and developed behavior issues and was behind where he should have been. That is where our trainer Stefania came in to truly save the day. The first day she walked in Brady was mouthy (to where it hurt), jumpy, and hard to control (the list goes on) - she has worked diligently with us and I am incredibly impressed with her ease to get creative on tackling certain issues as Brady's health and limitations made him an interesting case to say the least. Also what we love is that she is really realistic with us and our busy schedules plus what Brady could do physically. She set workable goals for all of us. After only a few sessions, we started to be told by people we met how well behaved Brady is and today, it's incredible to see the leaps and bounds he has made. We could not have done it without Stefania and can't say enough how amazing she has been to transform our pup into a sweet and well-behaved little guy.

Puppy play group is highly worth it, really well organized and supervised, great for pups that aren't old enough to meet adult dogs.

We purchased 2 puppies at the same time (diff breeds) and were overwhelmed. I reached out to Andrea Arden in desperation and had a consultation with one of the trainers, Katrina. Immediately I knew the puppies wld be in great hands. She …

We had a great experience with Andrea Arden training. I can't speak highly enough of Stefania, who worked closely with us to train our puppy. Thanks to the puppy classes as well as private sessions with Stefania, we have a very well behaved 4 month old pup who is crate trained, leash training, and following commands beautifully. I do think the private sessions with Stefania were the most helpful in figuring out ways to modify Argo's training to our living space and specific issues. She and the rest of the people we have met through Andrea Arden have been professional, lovely, and highly competent. We will continue to train our little bear there in future.

I am a huge fan of Andrea Arden training, and especially of Stefania Bedoya! She was professional, highly skilled and so kind with my dog. She was also incredibly helpful in training me - a brand new dog owner. I feel great about our progress and highly recommend her!

Had a great experience at Andrew Arden Dog Training! Wouldn't have known how to train our puppy if it wasn't for Puppy One and Two obedience classes. Absolutely recommend the classes and Puppy play groups.

This review is for the puppy group training and the overall feeling from the trainer. Honestly everything is rushed, rushed, and did I day rushed. Trying to interact with her is like jumping on a bullet train running backwards, and once you get to a section of the class where you are trying to implement what she just explained you will get 1-2 minutes at best. The bad thing is she cannot possibly observe every dog in that brief period. During the end of the class you figure shed interact with the clients, nope she runs everyone out for the next class and has the fastest dismissal ever. There are a few good points if you can listen that fast and remember after being verbally pelted.

I am currently attending the Puppy Class (P1) at Andrea Arden and love it! The instructors are very knowledgable. In just a couple of weeks my puppy is starting to understand visual commands all because of their help with teaching me how to train properly. I have also attended the puppy play groups which is a great way to socialize my puppy with other's. The groups are controlled by an instructor who offers guidance throughout the play time in different behaviors the puppy might display around others. I would definitely recommend this for others who have a puppy and wish I had started right when I got mine!

Puppy classes and play groups are the best!

Andrea Arden is an expert in her field. If you have a dog you cannot seem to connect with and you are in New York City, we recommend connecting with Andrea Arden.

My Papillon and I loved our small dog class. Katrina was really patient with both of us and she tried several ways of showing us how to do the exercises. Her approach and attitutude was so positive and gave us the confidence to be …
