🏆Virginia Beach Dog Training Reviews

"Andrea was so helpful with my two year old Havanese mix (Half-A-Nese). In just two sessions she addressed two badly needed behaviors- come when called and greeting people at the door. I credit Andrea with saving my Lola’s life. One day while walking, Lola got off the leash and bolted towards a busy intersection. I used the new skill Andrea had taught me. Lola stopped, turned and looked at me and then ran happily back. A life saver. Also very helpful was the initial session when Andrea discussed dog behaviors and how I need to react in response to those behaviors. Andrea gave me, whether she realizes it or not, a badly needed ‘attitude adjustment’. That alone has been invaluable. I will be using Andrea again in the future to address additional behaviors that need tweaking! Highly recommend."

"Andrea has helped me with two pups now. One sweet young puppy, and more recently an 8 mo old, 62lb super-sized, crazy, unruly foster pup. It still amazes me how quickly he picked up on the cues Andrea worked with him and I on. The difference is night and day. She is very patient and somehow manages to keep her calm, even with this big crazy no-mannered dude, who now might actually find his forever home. I highly recommend Andrea with Doggy Decorum. I will forever be in her debt!! UPDATE: Duncan DID find a great forever home shortly after a few training sessions, and I have no doubt that would not have been possible without Andrea. She is amazing ❤️"

"Andrea is a phenomenal resource for dog families! Her calm demeanor, expertise in behavioral science, fun training exercises, sound advice and thorough explanations make sessions with her enjoyable and effective for dogs and people alike. It is super convenient and productive that Andrea comes into the home to work personally with pet families. She trained 4 of our dogs over the years and we have received many compliments about how well behaved and socially inviting our pups are. It is evident how much Andrea loves her work and our dogs absolutely adore her! We highly recommend Doggy Decorum!"

"My boyfriend and I decided to get a dog last November and we quickly fell in love with an Aussiedoodle. After a week of having the puppy we realized we both could use training on how to set our dog and ourselves up for success. We have loved working with Andrea, she's a phenomenal trainer and has taught us a lot about how our dog thinks and what techniques work best to teach your dog good behavior. Andrea has worked with our dog on everything from leash walking, sitting, crate training to house training. We look forward to continuing to work with her as our pup matures."

"Andrea is an absolute lifesaver. I have two rescue dogs, one of whom has terrible anxiety and the other who has some physical limitations and can be cranky. Andrea's thoughtful insight and gentle approach has really helped me make both of their lives better. Her input on nutrition and supplements has also been invaluable. She's a wonderful trainer of dogs AND their humans, is certified in pet nutrition and practices only force free methods. Andrea is a gem with a wealth of knowledge and a real affinity for this work. I can't recommend her highly enough."

"Andrea has been incredibly helpful in just a few sessions so far with our 2.5 year old goldendoodle (Murphy)! We already had the basics down, but she helped us with leash training and jumping/barking. Not only does Andrea work well with a dog she has just met, but she left us with plenty of knowledge and material to help us work with Murphy on our own. I would definitely suggest this trainer for hands-on and individualized training services!"

"Andrea is not only extremely knowledgeable, but very caring and patient with my dogs. She has a sweet and kind disposition, and has taught me lots of things to better handle my dogs! She has always been helpful, even with a quick question via text. My dogs love her and get excited whenever she comes over, and there has been a vast improvement in their manners and behavior since she came to help us!"

"We brought home a 3-month old Golden Irish puppy and wanted to give her the best possible start in life. Our 5-year old Gordon Irish was also apprehensive about our new puppy. Andrea’s positive training approach helped them both adjust to one another. Today, they are happy, well-adjusted companions. We are so grateful for her guidance and expertise. Highly recommended!"

"After looking through several local dog trainers' websites and contacting a few, I knew Andrea was the one I wanted to meet with. I was not disappointed. In just two sessions she gave me so many tools and techniques to work with my new addition. She is a fantastic communicator - dog and human both!"

"Andrea has been a staple in our lives since we got our crazy puppy in March. She is exactly what we needed and wanted. She has patiently worked with everyone in my family to help us learn and adjust. I quite possibly would have lost my mind without her :)"

"Andrea was very dependable and worked beautifully with both of my dogs- one of which (beagle mix) was quite a bit stubborn, but sweet:) Both loved her and my hard headed one is much more manageable now because of her."

"Andrea was really helpful getting us up to speed on training a new puppy. She was really communicative and knowledgeable. 6 years later and we are still using a lot of the basic commands we learned. 10/10 recommend."

"Andrea was great with our two sibling Sheepadoodle puppies. They remember their spoken cues. She is very patient with them . Would recommend and have to friends and family. 100%!!! Loved the at home training."

"She is very kind & helped us a ton! Two golden retrievers we struggled with getting the younger and older one to be together without the older one getting too annoyed. They are now best friends!"

"Doggy Decorum (Andrea) helped us as we added a rescue pup to our family which included an adult dog. She also helped us with training the new pup and both dogs learned new commands."

"Andrea is incredible! If you are looking for in-home training for a family pet, there’s no one better. Andrea will gently train humans of all ages to ensure puppy and dog success!"

"She arrived and right away bonded with my dog. She sat on the floor with him. She gave me great tips and was wonderful. Highly recommend!"

"Andrea was very good, patient, and instructive to me about the care and feeding of Levi. We appreciated her very much ."

"She worked my rebel who has high anxiety, he now listens to commands! She will be hired for my new puppy!"

"Andrade has a special way with dogs. She can solved any problem and my puppy loves her"

"She was very good and knowledgeable!! Helped us a lot and was very accessible."

"Andrea is great!"
