Angelo is fantastic - we are so happy we hired Angelo to train our bernedoodle and I am happy to say our Scoop became PSA (psychiatric service dog) - all thanks to Angelo and his skills/knowledge about dogs. Highly recommended!!!

Coco is my family’s Rottweiler/Cane Corso mix. We rescued her when she was about 7 months old. As we got to know Coco we realized she was reactive toward people and other dogs we encountered on our walks. She also reacts toward any mailman that approaches our house. For a long time, having never dealt with a reactive dog, we tried to manage these behaviors on our own. We started training with Angelo when Coco was already 5 years old. After just 5 lessons, Coco is now able to walk on our local trails and go on hikes where there are other people and dogs all around. Angelo gave us the tools and the confidence to approach every situation that comes our way. While some situations still make Coco anxious, they are much more manageable than before. Coco no longer pulls on walks and listens to commands very well. Angelo is an incredibly patient and kind teacher and trainer. I highly recommend him to any dog owner who wants to confidently handle their dog. He has made our life with Coco that much more enjoyable.

My wife and I sent our 16 month old Boston Terrier named Milo to Angelo's 4-week board and train program. The progress our little guy has made is incredible. He is overall more calm and obedient with the 5 commands (sit, down, heel, place, and come). We just had a two-week follow-up with Angelo and he was impressed by how sharp Milo has remained in the time since his training. Angelo has followed up on Milo multiple times during that two week period and after. He has given us great suggestions on how to continue the training at home and beyond. We cannot wait to work with Angelo again in the future!

A friend of mine told me about The Art of K9 years before we got our dog Luna. So when we realized a few months into adopting her that Luna had a lot of fear from trauma, we decided she needed the best training and reached out to Angelo. Luna went to Angelo for five weeks. It was a great decision. Luna is now a calmer, better behaved dog. She listens. She walks at my pace beside me. She is no longer aggressive toward other dogs. Angelo also trained us so that we would understand how to keep up the good behavior and correct some of the mistakes we were making with her.

My 18 month old chocolate lab seemed untrainable. He was overly excited on walks and reacted to every dog we came across. After just three lessons with Angelo my dog walks by my side and doesn’t pull. He listens and heels when other dogs are nearby. I used to be afraid to walk him because of the chance of running into another dog, but now I can even walk him through the paths of our local park without worry. Angelo has taught him other really helpful skills such as down when in an outdoor setting and to stay in place at home for extended periods of time. He is always quick to respond to questions I send through email and gives advice. I couldn’t be happier with the results.

I was pretty unsure about sending my 6 month old Doberman to a 3 week board and train because I wasn't sure how he would react or if it would change his personality after, but it was completely the opposite. Angelo is an awesome trainer and really helped my dog keep his fun and high energy personality but learn when to listen and when to calm down when needed. After the board and train I'm able to do more with my dog and take him more places because he's so much better trained.The facility Angelo trains out of is clean and is perfectly set up for nonstop training. Trust me, if you're looking for a trainer, go see Angelo and you won't be disappointed!

Angelo was great with my 4-month old Goldendoodle puppy. My puppy was stubborn and overexcited when he first met Angelo. By the fourth training session, my puppy was calm and responsive. I honestly don't think I could have handled him without Angelo's help. I totally recommend this training program. Just make sure you stay consistent!

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!

Angelo was amazing with my 68lbs Pitt Super. Did a whole week of boarding and my pup looks great and we'll cared for. He's very knowledgeable, beyond patient and really loves dogs. The facility is very clean. I travel a lot and definitely will board Super again with no hesitation.

Angelo at the Art of K9 Dog Training is absolutely amazing and worked miracles on our very hyperactive 5 month old puppy. We are experienced dog owners, however, our puppy Simba was uncontrollable. He would terrorize our cats, could not walk on a leash, and had no boundaries. After four weeks of training, Simba is a dream dog. He follows commands, walks very well on a leash, and ignores our cats. Angelo has continued to check in with me to follow up with Simba's progress at home. I highly recommend this training!!

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!!!
