Don, "The Tutor", has been a blessing to my family and dogs over the last four years. He has…read moreenthusiastically cared for and nurtured our two precocious golden-doddles, noticing and appreciating the nuances in their personalities and health, offering deeply-informed suggestions that always come from both a place of great experience and love for our dogs.

We hired Don as a trainer for our very cute but very fear-aggressive bulldog rescue. Lulu had been…read morethrough two homes before ours, and she came to us with some issues. She needed someone who would be patient with her and who wouldn't give up on her, and Don was just that guy.  Over seven training sessions, Don worked with us to introduce Lulu to new people and new environments, making up for some of the socialization that she had missed out on as a puppy. He helped us with obedience work, and taught us tricks for keeping her in control when on walks. Don was so dedicated to her, and it was clear that he genuinely cared for her and wanted to help her be the best dog she could be. We liked Don so much that we also hired him for walks and boarding! Lulu always came back happy, and it was clear she enjoyed staying with Don and his wife Maria.  Thanks so much for everything, Don!!

Kayla and Pawfect Day were lifesavers for our family!! Our usual dog walker/sitter was unavailable…read moreat the last minute and Kayla said she had availability for the July 4th holiday. She came over ahead of time to meet our dog and was so kind, easy to talk to, and made everyone feel relaxed. Kayla was excellent with sharing regular updates and photos of our pup.

The website was easy to navigate, pricing was reasonable and clear, and we were offered a discount for being a first time customer. Highly recommend Pawfect Day!

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!

Jen has been walking and taking care of our two pups for over three years. We have a young,…read moreenergetic and (sometimes) unruly black lab as well as an elderly, deaf cattle dog. Both dogs are cared for, walked and given the exact attention they need. There are few people I trust with our elderly pup, but Jen is definitely one of them.

I highly recommend Jen - there's no one else we trust more with our furry family members.
