Jack, Emma and ZOE “ the little barker that could”
“Andrea is amazing! I have 2 Golden’s and a yorkie poo. My yorkie is a non-stop barker after 1 lesson and doing my homework her barking is already 90 % better. My Golden’s are calmer with Andrea’s suggestions about anxiety. Look no further, Andrea is the best trainer!!! I am so pleased with her knowledge about dog behavior. Looking forward to our next lesson.”
Laney “first puppy ever”
“Andrea helped us with our 3 month old chocolate lab puppy, and we can’t thank her enough. She makes a targeted individual plan for each pup and uses positive reinforcement techniques. One of the best parts is she not only helps your dog, but she explains to the owners the reasoning for each step and it helps the human learn as well. She’s happy to answer all of the silly questions and it’s apparent just how knowledgeable she is! Honestly don’t know how we would have gotten through the first few weeks of training without her. Don’t waste time on YouTube videos or googling “how to train”. Well worth the time and money, an absolute 10/10!”
Harper “the wild child”
“Andrea with Doggy Decorum is amazing. Having her come to our home and work with the entire family on our pet’s specific issues was the best decision. I had previously tried group lessons that used a negative correction method and that was not effective for our pet. Andrea’s positive reinforcement methods are tailored to our dog, our environment, and our situation. If a method doesn’t work, she pivots and tries another. Every dog is different and she’s able to customize a program that fits your dog and your family. Not only have we seen incredible improvement in our dog’s behavior in just 3 weeks; but it has also improved our relationship and level of frustration with our pet. Before Andrea, Harper had free reign of our fenced back yard; but she barked constantly, she dug holes, wouldn’t come when called, ran away from us (thinking we were trying to bring her inside before she was ready) and taking her on a walk was a nightmare. Andrea’s methods have improved all those areas. It’s still a work in progress, but I’m thankful to find Andrea and be given the tools to help instill a positive change in Harper’s negative behaviors.”
Oliver – tiny, tenacious & timid
"Andrea is so sweet and very flexible with scheduling the training sessions. I highly recommended her for any type of dog training. She did basic obedience training for our mini dachshund pup and he absolutely adored her! He would literally run laps around our apartment every time she came over for training. Even our cat got excited when Andrea was over! She genuinely cares about her clients and does her best to make sure they all succeed."
Copper- from crazy puppy to polite pal.
"Andrea is a great dog trainer she offered solutions to just about everything we needed for our dog. Our pup Copper is now a wonderful indoor/outdoor dog and thanks to the awesome training Andrea offered we are very content. Andrea saved us from all the heartache of potty training, leash walking, crate training, pup chewing through bedding and more. So if you are looking for a great dog trainer that can help you with your pup needs, I highly recommend Andrea."
Reactive Fred and Daisy
"I really enjoy working my dogs, Fred and Daisy, with Andrea. Both dogs had been reactive to my neighbors dogs as we would walk by their property. They would start pulling on leash and barking several houses away. In training she is attentive to and observant of their needs, she explains her approach clearly, and she is excellent at instilling confidence when trying new techniques. We’ve had (1) two-hour session, a few months ago, and I have noticed their behavior steadily improving. I met Andrea out hiking with our dogs, and its clear she enthusiastically loves dogs and has the patience, compassion, and talent you want to see in someone who works with animals."
Charlie’s Puppy Classes
"I attended one of Andrea's Puppy Obedience classes at a local pet store to help train my then new puppy, Charlie. We also attended her Advanced Puppy class. Her training techniques are easy to replicate and practice on my own, which helps when you have a wile but smart puppy. My biggest issue was controlling him on leash, as he is very enthusiastic when out on a walk. Andrea's training techniques really helped Charlie not to pull and instilled confidence in me to control my dog on leash. I was very pleased working with Andrea, her training really helped!"
PEANUT – THE SPOILED CHIWEENIE
I trusted Andrea Singer to train my 4 year old Chihuahua Dachshund rescue and she completely transformed her behavior. Before meeting with Andrea, Peanut wouldn’t listen and didn’t have proper boundaries. Because she is a rescue I tended to spoil her. Andrea taught Peanut how to behave and taught me the tools I needed to keep that behavior in check. I am so grateful to Andrea and have been using her ever since to board peanut if I am out of town.
