Success Stories

We did a 2 week board and train with Angie and we had an amazing experience! She sent us updates with pictures and videos everyday! He did so amazing with Angie! We are so impressed with her dedication and results she had with our dog Rico!!! We are so grateful to Angie! - Kelsey A.

When we first got our Stella, she had a sparky attitude. Always trying to playful bite on mom and dad. She thought biting mom's hair was fun! And pouncing on mom & dad was even more of a thrill for her. Angie helped correct those bad manners so Stella knows what's acceptable, and what is not. Stella learned all of her commands so quickly, and Angie helped us learn as pup parents the "why" behind Stella's behavior. Puppy training is a 2 way street! Our Stella listens to us, and is a completely new puppy after her training. We even saw a HUGE improvement just after day 1! We are truly thankful to Angie. ❤ You helped us enjoy more positives moments with our puppy, and we look forward to future memories we will make with her. - Victoria C.

I have an American Akita and Angie was our trainer she’s absolutely amazing definitely recommend her and my Niko is doing amazing a little stubborn at some times but other than that really well behaved for a puppy! - Jay R.

We worked with Angie to help Mozart be less anxious, walk next to us and to stop barking to other dogs and it worked, he is more calm and obedient. Thank you! - Rox P.

Willow, our 1 1/2 old GSD, was having recall issues. Even though she had traditional basic training under her belt, she was still very "independent " and was unreliable when called. Angie was GREAT! She listened to my issues and helped us work through them. We quickly saw a turnaround in Willow. The attention to detail in Angie's approach really helped us see quick and lasting results. And Willow loves "school"! It's totally worth the money to have a happy well trained pup! - Jennifer C. G.

Angie did an amazing job with our chihuahua, Pip! Pip came as a very anxious rescue dog that was fearful of people and other dogs. Angie helped Pip become much more comfortable, and has built Pip’s confidence to be able to go to dog parks and be pet by people she doesn’t know. Pip is also so much better at listening to commands and is able to be left at home without barking. - Emma S. S.

We were fostering to adopt Gunner, but he was a hot mess!! We had to put up barricades to keep him out of the kitchen, he was a counter surfer. On walks he pulling and howling at any dog we passed. Then a friend told me about Angie Arce. Angie had trained her friend's puppy and she thought she could help us. Well,  I gave Angie a call and she came to our home (a 45 minute drive for her) to meet Gunner and us.  She felt she could work with him,  so we decided to try the training. I am so glad we did!  After just 3 classes, Gunner is a new dog!  No more barricades, he walks wonderfully on a leash, does not pull or howl when we pass dogs!  Thank you so much Angie, Gunner is now ours and is such a great addition to our family.  Don't give up on your pup...call Angie! - Peggy L.

Angie Arce provided us with an awesome experience training our 12 year old Morkie and our 4 month old Goldendoodle.  I thought the Morkie was too old for training, but Angie was patient with her (and us!) and she's doing as great as our Doodle:  They are responsive and obedient, and are almost exclusively off-leash already.  We are excited to move on to group classes.  We highly recommend Angie! - Renee S. M.

Thank you to Angie Arce for giving us the tools we needed to train our pup, Karma. He is a happy, high-energy dog, but taking walks was getting uncontrollable. After a really rough day at the dog park, my husband started making calls. My husband and I had done all that we knew how to, and we were also perplexed because Karma did really well at doggy daycare and inside the home. But, walks and the dog park were quickly becoming a disaster. We still have a happy, high-energy pup - but the training that Angie provided has given him more self-control and the ability to ignore distractions. He actually comes when we call him, even amid distractions. We were committed to doing the homework/practice and being responsible dog parents, but we were really amazed with the results we got. I recommend this training to anyone whose dog has some problem behaviors; especially if you have kids in your home or enjoy taking your dog on outings. - Susan R.

My dog Harper spent 2 weeks in board/training with Angie and I am very impressed!  What a great job Angie has done. I also enrolled my dog Baxter in private lessons where I learned how to manage the dogs and that program is also well run and helpful. Both dogs have benefited from the training. I have benefited from the training as a dog owner. I highly recommend Angie to all dogs and owners alike! - Lisa L.

Angie was easy to work with and understood what I was wanting for my 10 yr old boxer. We had positive changes from our first lesson and my dog liked her. We graduated today and I was so proud of my dog. I would recommend her. - Tyra J.

Angie was great to work and Oliver has done very well with the training.  We did the three individual classes and have now progressed to the group classes.  The training was helpful for us as well 🙂 - Bryan F.

Signing our puppy up for training with Angie has been the best decision we have made when it comes to our puppy. With three little kids, we knew it would be hard to dedicate all the time required to be consistent in training our guy so we signed him up for the two week board and train. We are so happy we did and now are able to confidently continue working with our little guy! - Kara M.

Angie was amazing with my furbaby Sparky! Sparky started training being highly reactive to other dogs and excessive barking. Thanks to Angie's training I am confident with Sparky around other dogs and I control his barking. - Noelle S

I have a goofball fur baby. Kai is 19 month old golden that was a good boy without manners. He barked if he wanted attention.  He was horrible on the leash and wouldn’t think of taking him off leash. 2 weeks with Angie and he finally has manners but didn’t lose his golden goofball. Our walks are millions times better. If he pulls I can correct him immediately. He stopped barking for attention only for warnings, (like a raccoon in our yard). No more holding him back when I answer the door.  Simply put him in place. He places when we eat and I put the groceries away. We can play fetch in the front yard. And no longer have to worry that he will run off if he sees another dog or squirrel. I have him sit till the dog walks by or if it his friend they will play in our yard. Thank you Angie for helping Kai. He didn’t lose his personality and our household is much happier now. - Susan D.

Angie Arce​​ is so great with dogs, she even offers to train for you and then you can learn the commands. I decided to ask her to let me train my dog but she helped me train him; she was so nice and understanding on what I needed to get done for his training. - April H.

We have just finished our first three private classes with Angie. She is a great trainer! Everything has been well explained and demonstrated and she is patient and considerate. She makes sure we understand and follows up with support via text during the week. Looking forward to transition classes next. Thank you Angie! - Susan H.

Angie A. took our four month old lab into her home for two weeks and worked with her on off leash, loose leash walking and how to take her place and wait. Our girl is much more polite now and has manners. We can’t thank them enough for helping our girl be better behaved. - Sarah M.

Angie A was an amazing teacher for our PWD and us. With 2 small children, getting a puppy can be tricky. We are confident in our pup’s skills and he is loving learning new things. We look forward to using Angie to board as well, so if our pup can’t come with us he will have his skills reinforced. People are constantly impressed at our pup’s skills and behavior. We highly recommend Angie A. Thank you!! - Katie S.

Ms. Angie Arce was wonderful with Rona. Angie knew exactly what Rona needed in order to build her confidence and make her a wonderful addition to our home!!❤❤❤ - Sheila B. B.

I highly recommend this place to anyone that has a dog. We took our yellow lab started our training with Angie and what a transformation after 4 weeks of training. Our instructor Angie was great and always available to answer any questions we had or any concerns. Prices are very reasonable too. We will definitely take our Neapolitan Mastiff too soon. - Amilavanthi D.

Most people think huskies are too stubborn to train, which is crazy. They love to work and be challenged, and Angie was not only patient with my boys (that's right - 2 young husky males!), but with me as well, coaching me through any frustrations I was having. In just about a month, my boys are impressing everyone at the vet, in stores, on walks, etc. with how well behaved they are. They are even focused enough to perform their commands in a crowded dog park. We'll definitely keep working with Angie. - Kim A.

I highly recommend Angie; she has gone above and beyond in helping us with our little princess! Thank you. - Katherine P.

We highly recommend Angie Arce. Each of our 3 dogs have done the board and train. Our newest dog Brees did his board and train with Angie. He is a special needs pup (tripaw rescue with some anxiety), and Angie did a beautiful job with him. Brees is 55lbs and strong (even without a leg) so the training has been helpful for us as we handle him. We have two other dogs who can get into vicious fights with each other (hence the need for training) and it can be challenging when we board. I trust Angie completely with all three and board the trio with her. - Priscilla M.

My husband and I were so fortunate to have Angie as our dog's trainer.  She came to our house and worked with our two Wheaten Terrier puppies.  I was a bit skeptical that after only two home classes they would then pass the 3rd class and graduate.  But they did so great!  I was shocked and teared up.  They have since taken several group and transition classes and also did well.  In July we took our dogs to the beach for a few weeks and they were wonderful and never ran off and loved the water.  It was perfect.  Recently, our female dog has had some aggression issues and has bitten our male dog.  I texted Angie and she instantly called met.  She came back to our house last night and we worked with the dogs together. She gave me some exercises to work with both dogs and things went really well this morning.  It will take time and reinforcement but I trust Angie and I know everything will be fine.  In the meantime, we continue to take advantage of the training for life and enjoy the group and transition classes.  I can't thank Angie enough for  the initial training classes, the assistance during group classes, always texting me back, coming back to our house and her genuine love of animals and her support.   I would highly recommend her.  Thank you so much Angie! - Lois J.
