HOME | Andrea Gold

Hi! I’m Andrea,
a retired professional animal trainer for film, looking to bring my expertise to you and your pup!

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME

I have degrees in human psychology and animal behavior and I have spent over 15 years as a professional animal trainer. My career gave me the incredible opportunity to work with some of the biggest names in Hollywood around the globe. From training dogs for the silver screen, to service dog work for veterans, and helping pups overcome anxiety, my journey has been nothing short of extraordinary.

Now, as I pursue my doctoral degree, I'm eager to continue working with a few select clients to help them achieve their goals with their furry companions. Whether it's regaining harmony in your household, on a walk, a behavioral tune-up, or something else entirely, let's take this journey forward together!

ABOUT

SERVICES AND FEES

DOG TRAINING

Most obedience training can be done in 4 sessions (one session a week for 4 weeks) with a few optional follow-up sessions a few weeks after. This would cover learning how to not pull on a leash, leash reactivity, not barking in the house, basic manners, and puppy training. Aggression rehabilitation will be assessed on a case by case basis.

1 session apx. 60 min: $100/ea*

DOG WALKING/CHECK-INS

I will come to your house and check on your pup/pups and we will go for a nice walk, get some playtime and snuggles in, and make sure there is fresh water and no clean up necessary. Discounted rate for clients. Boarding may be possible for some dogs on a case by case basis.

Dog Training Clients: 20 min: $25*

Non-Dog Training Clients 20 min: $30*

ADDITIONAL SERVICES

I can help with baths, nails, vet visits, specific training requests, film/tv requests, photoshoots, etc. Please feel free to reach out to directly for any questions!
