Meet Your Trainer

Angelo Presta
Owner and Head Trainer
Training since 2011, after one of his own dogs developed severe aggression and no trainer he went to could help. He built this program around the cases others decline: aggression, bite history, and serious reactivity.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. The Art of K9 is based in Harrison, NY, and serves Westchester County towns including Scarsdale, Rye, and Chappaqua, along with the surrounding areas, through Board & Train programs, private in-home training, and virtual consults.
We serve both. In addition to Westchester County, we work with clients throughout Fairfield County, CT, including Greenwich and nearby towns. If you're outside our in-person service area entirely, our video consultations are available regardless of location.
The 4-week program is designed for dogs with minor issues like jumping, leash pulling, or inconsistent recall. The 6-week program is built for more serious behavioral challenges, including resource guarding, reactivity, or fear-based behaviors. The 8-week program is our most comprehensive option, combining advanced obedience, real-world proofing, and long-term behavior modification for owners who want the highest level of reliability. If you're not sure which fits your dog, we recommend calling us directly at (914) 980-5527 to talk it through.
Both. Alongside our Board & Train programs, we offer private in-home training conducted at your home or a location of your choosing, tailored to your household and specific goals.
Yes. Reactivity toward people or other dogs, and aggression concerns more broadly, are among the core issues we address, typically through our 6-week or 8-week Board & Train programs, which allow enough time to build obedience while working through the underlying behavior.
Yes. Our 60-minute video consultations are designed to address obedience, structure, reactivity, anxiety, and aggression remotely, making them a good option for owners outside our in-person service area.
No, overnight boarding is offered exclusively to clients who have already completed one of our training programs with us. If your dog hasn't trained with us yet, the Board & Train or private training programs would be the starting point.
