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!

They have had a terrible reputation for grooming forever. Our first review was about PETSMART in Mahopac. So is this review. Because I moved and have been going there for 25+ years, but not in person because now where you got older and sicker and more disabled; we try to get AutoShip. Total goddamn disaster. My vet told us not to order the cat litter. That's supposed to detect UTIs in cats because they actually give cats UTIs. That's how much PETSMART cares. I wouldn't let them groom, my cat, even if she were dead. Rob, the manager just ended up screaming my name three times because I guess I irritated him by the incompetence of his corporation. He came up with some avalanche BS BECAUSE I'M NO LONGER IN THE COMPUTER SYSTEM BECAUSE I HAVEN'T BEEN THERE SINCE THE PANDEMIC. The little plastic card thingy fell off the keychain because it's so old that it broke and nothing we did could fix it to stay on the keychain We've been going there for 25+ years, but no he can't find me in his computer and now you're going to raise your voice at me. The reason I don't let my husband make these phone calls is because he has very high blood pressure and wow, you don't wanna know him when he's pissed off Please never leave your pet there for grooming. And yes, they do lie about how you don't need a prescription for prescription food so you get all the way up there and then you leave empty-handed. Do you know how much money we spent there in the last 30 years? At one point we had 11 cats. We were supposed to just be foster parents for the pregnant mother and her five kittens and we could not keep them all because 11 cats is too many cats to take care of financially for us. We also live in a small space and cats like their space. So I also shopped there because I was a volunteer for this alleged cat rescue place. They just killed all the sick kittens, she personally is a millionaire and she takes donations. I do think her alleged rescue organization is called cat rescue. Yuck to everything. Sorry if you don't like our review but we're only taking the trouble to tell you now so no other animal gets hurt. We love our fur babies and they should understand that it says PETSMART not pet stupid

It was one of the worst days of my life and some of the worst grief I've ever experienced. Dr. Connie was so thoughtful, empathetic, sweet, and caring.

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.

His temperament is amazing. He doesn't bark he doesn't howl he listens well. Everyone wishes my dog was their dog. So as a business is it a great business maybe not. But I do have an amazing dog and I wouldn't have that without NY Breeder.
