Bark Busters Windsor

I had the pleasure of completing the For The Dogs 6-week puppy training with my dog, Winnie. I consider myself, and Winnie, forever better for the work that we did with Andrea. This training included video homework and in-person sessions, both of which supported the real-world progress that we made in our time together. It was so helpful to have frequent sessions to monitor our progress, and know what we had to work on each day! Winnie is a very special girl, with very special needs. Andrea's holistic approach to training considered all of these needs and provided me with proper training to address these needs as they changed throughout her life. I am so grateful to have experienced such a personalized program that gave me and Winnie a leg up in training for years to come! If you're seeking a professional who truly considers the unique needs of you and your companion, all while using science-based, force-free methods, look no further. Andrea is an exceptional and dedicated canine professional. Winnie and I couldn’t recommend her services more!

Andrea is a very skilled and special person. I'm a three-time Olympian and performance coach, and I was deeply impressed watching Andrea train Lola, the dog I had been watching for the last week. Within an hour, I felt like I'd gotten a master class in psychology, boundaries, an animal-human relationships. If I get a dog in the future, I'll be hiring Andrea!!

I can't say enough great things about Andrea of @forthedogstraining! From the very beginning of our journey in helping my dog get more comfortable with elements of grooming, she brought such a compassionate and judgement-free approach that immediately made both me and my dog feel seen, safe, and supported — and all of this happened remotely through virtual meetings! I was initially unsure how effective virtual training would be, but Andrea completely blew me away. Her remote sessions were clear, engaging, and surprisingly personal. One of the most impactful aspects was the use of video homework, which allowed us to review what we had learned and practice at our own pace. Her feedback on these videos was always thoughtful, actionable, and encouraging, which really helped me gain the confidence I needed to help my dog. What really sets Andrea apart is how personalized and tailored her training plans are. She took the time to truly understand my dog’s needs and behaviour and created a plan that felt both doable and never like a generic program. Andrea also provided a wealth of evidence-based resources to help me better understand my dog and feel more confident in our journey together. Every recommendation felt grounded in both science and empathy. If you're looking for a trainer who brings together compassion, deep knowledge, and real results — all in a flexible, remote format — Andrea is absolutely the one. I’m so grateful we found her!
