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!

Andrea Arden Dog Training was the biggest and best step forward for my pup Jasper and me. As a very young rescue, my pup needed guidance in puppy socialization and confidence building, as well as a job to play hard at. The trainers were amazing, force free and positive, winning Jasper over before I told them about her stranger danger-she loved them! This incredible team set us on the right path-Agility for life! Thanks to Katrina for moving us forward in agility (truly life changing), Andrea, Lara, Hannah, Melanie and the rest of the team for building our foundation and setting us up for success! Highly recommend!

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.
