Dogs By Andy K-9 Services

Dogs by Andy is amazing! We desperately needed assistance with one of our dogs. We used the following services: On-leash Training, In-Kennel Training, Obedience Training and People Socialization Training. The results went above and beyond our expectations. He loves the staff, who are professional, friendly, patient and great teachers for both the dogs and owners. They corrected “at home” and “outside the home” issues with which we needed help. They addressed these items and educated us, and created the opportunity to practice at home and implement their methods. We now have a dog who is obedient, happy, confident, calm, no longer the neighborhood terrorist and a joy to be around, and likewise enjoys being around other dogs and people without creating a stir. The facility is always clean, safe, well organized and very inviting to both dogs and their owners. It is wonderful to know our dog and other people’s dogs are in a happy and safe place, and are well-taken care of and feel loved. Highly recommend Dogs by Andy! Thank you everyone at Dogs by Andy!

5-Star Review for Dogs By Andy K-9 Services The team at Dogs By Andy K-9 Services has been outstanding in training and caring for my 4-year-old Rottweiler, Kobe. They’re patient, attentive, and truly understand his needs and personality. Their responsiveness and professionalism have made all the difference. I highly recommend Dogs By Andy to anyone seeking trusted and practical K-9 training and support — they’re simply the best! AJ Jackson

From the front office staff to the trainers and kennel staff we have always had a positive experience here! Our girl Charlee learned so much during her board and train program and we feel confident knowing she will be well taken care of whenever we board her here!

Andy trained my very first dog back in 2001 when I was just a kid growing up on Long Island. I was only six years old, but I still remember how much of an impact that experience made. Years later, in 2016, as an adult, I found Dogs By Andy again this time in Mooresville, North Carolina. Even though I was still living on Long Island, I didn’t hesitate to bring my German Shepherd down to him. After just three weeks of training, the difference was like night and day. My dog came back fully confident, calm, and obedient in public. He became a trusted companion for my son as well, listening to him just as well as he listened to me. Fast forward to 2025, and I’m now on my third dog being trained by Dogs By Andy. This time, it’s even more personal my daughter’s Goldendoodle, Lola, is being trained as a service dog. I live in Virginia Beach, about five hours away, yet I wouldn’t trust anyone else with such an important responsibility. We left Lola with Andy’s team for three weeks in February 2025, and from the start, Rebecca has been phenomenal. She has worked with Lola directly, guiding her through every step of her service dog training, and the progress has been nothing short of incredible. Since then, we’ve made multiple follow-up trips, each requiring a ten-hour round trip, and every single time has been worth it. Now that Lola is advancing into elite-level service dog training, we’re traveling weekly to North Carolina for her sessions with Rebecca. Watching how quickly Lola has learned and how confidently she works alongside me and my daughter has been nothing short of life-changing. Dogs By Andy isn’t just a training facility it’s a place that delivers trust, reliability, and results that last a lifetime. Andy trained my first dog when I was a child, he trained a trusted dog for my son, and now, with Rebecca’s dedicated work, she is training a service dog for my daughter. That’s three generations of our family who have benefitted from their expertise. I truly wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Dogs by Andy was the best decision we ever made for Lainey. The basic commands she was taught and the skills we learned as her handler has enabled us to build upon her skills. They back their services with a lifetime guarantee if the dog regresses back to bad behaviors. Dogs are an investment and I 100% recommend to add Andy to your investment.
