Matt is an amazing trainer! I would definitely recommend him as a trainer. My boyfriend and I have…read morea Siberian Husky who had major behavioral problems. He would not listen at all. He was constantly eating the furniture, jumping on everyone and everything, he didn't listen when it was time to come inside and I would eventually have to carry him in the house, and he would cry and scream when it was time to put him in the crate if we were leaving or going to bed. We didn't know what to do but after looking for trainers, we came across Matt's website. After meeting with him and having him go over a few training techniques with our puppy, we knew he would be a big help. When we got the puppy back, we could see a huge change in his behavior. When Matt started his training, our puppy was 6 months old. He is now 13 months and is still just as great as when we got him back. He listens on the first command, there's no longer a struggle to come inside or go in his crate, and now he understand were the boss.

Everything about their instruction is focused on both the person and their dog learning TOGETHER, not simply drilling commands.

A billion stars, 1000% positive experience.

My wife and I had acquired a new German Shepherd puppy and needed to get her into some training…read more We searched online but there were simply too many choices and too much information to try and make a decision. Fortunately, my wife who works in the Health care field met some women and their therapy dogs who were the most pleasant, well behaved and caring dogs she's ever met. She of course asked where the dogs received their training and they told us about Three Dogs Training. So we immediately enrolled and were not disappointed at all as the class was enjoyable and stimulating both for us and our puppy. Our instructor, Lisa Edwards showed us how easy and fun it is to train your dog and it has allowed us to teach our dog proper manners. If you have a dog that needs training, a puppy that needs some basic socialization or want some help in choosing a dog that mets your lifestyle then check them out.

There aren't enough stars there to adequately rate Lisa Edwards! I have been a client for 8 years…read more She has worked with me and my dogs in the private setting also and, together, we have successfully trained 2 service dogs and 2 therapy dogs. I have had very anxious dogs and a resource guarder, and Lisa has shown me how to manage these issues without using aversive training, only positive reinforcement ... and a sense of humor. I hate to think where my dogs would be if it weren't for her. She speaks dog with love and understanding and deals with their humans patiently (I imagine that it the hardest part of her job.) and without making us feel foolish. Will we ever stop attending Three Dogs Training classes? Only if Lisa retires!

Angelo saved our dog's life -- and I mean that in the most literal sense possible…read more Oliver is a rescue who had been surrendered by two families before us. We took him in, loved him, and still found ourselves in crisis -- biting, aggression, resource guarding. We were scared of our dog and desperate for help. Oliver was our fifth dog and as a family we were seasoned users of positive reinforcement as the primary training method. We turned to Angelo at Art of K9 and made the decision to board Oliver for 8 weeks. He took on Oliver after a thorough consultation. Angelo worked through Oliver's aggression and resource guarding using the e-collar and other training tools. These methods gave us the ability to communicate with and control our dog in a way positive reinforcement couldn't. The transformation is hard to put into words. Oliver is now relaxed, cuddly, and genuinely at peace. He still has his moments -- but now we have the tools to handle them. This has changed everything. If you have a dog with serious aggression or resource guarding and you're at your breaking point, I highly recommend Angelo. He didn't just train Oliver -- he saved his life and we are so thankful.

We sent our dog Monsi to Angelo- originally because of socialization problems, yet she surprised us…read moreand 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!

He was a cutie and came house-trained but after a couple months we had some behavioral issues crop up (play nipping, stealing shoes, etc.). We tried 3 different trainers before we found Justin and we knew from the first visit that we finally found someone who shared our love of dogs AND had the expertise to help us get our pup on the right track. We love that his approach is positive-reward based (and, more importantly, effective) and our time with Justin is always enjoyable & informational. We have done one-on-one sessions with him as well as his 4-week Foundations group course. Both approaches have been essential. Can't recommend him enough!

I reached out to Kate after our 1.5 year old Pit had some incidents at daycare, and a few scuffles…read moreat the dog park. Naturally after a few of these incidents I was extremely worried and nervous to let Bruno off leash or back at daycare. During our first session with Kate, she explained that easily excitable dogs, like Bruno, need structure from their owners and guidance to make better choices when they go from 0-100 in a few seconds. During the 6 weeks we had with Kate we worked on impulse control, place, structured walks and recall with the eCollar. I couldn't be more happy that we chose Kate. I was specifically looking for someone that has experience with adult dogs that have a lot of energy, and that person was Kate. In every session we added on layers to the training and more and more distractions. We honestly saw improvements after the first session and learning place. I now feel so much better and connect to Bruno on walks, and am excited to continue working with him so he can fully be off-leash in appropriate areas and develop full re-call. I highly recommend Kate to anyone looking for quality, structured training.
