New York, NY
Stefania Bedoya has over 17 years of experience training and caring for our four-legged friends in New York City.
Stefania earned her CPDT-KA certification as well as her KPA-CTP certification and teaches group classes and private lessons, and in addition to helping dogs and their families, she also mentors our apprentices.
Stefania has also run her own dog-walking business, which earned a stellar reputation for her commitment to providing pups with the best care and safe, enriching adventures in the city.
Through the years, Stefania's excellent handling and safety skills have earned her the trust of all manner of lovely canines, from the tiniest Chihuahuas to the largest Cane Corsos.
Her passion to continue helping dogs—and to taking her already extensive skills many steps further—led her to join our team, where she fine-tuned her abilities with a two year apprenticeship.
Stefania has since been part of the training team for seven years.

We've got the answers for your questions
Seriously, if you have any questions about training your dog, we have the answers.
We have created a directory of licensed dog trainers specializing in positive reinforcement methods. These trainers are not affiliated with Dogo, and all information is gathered from publicly available sources. Each profile provides a brief overview of the trainer's experience and expertise.
Start by evaluating your dog's needs and identifying your training objectives. Each trainer's profile provides insights into their areas of expertise. Match these with your dog's character and your goals to find the ideal fit.
All trainers listed here are certified professionals with extensive knowledge of positive reinforcement techniques.
Positive reinforcement centers on rewarding preferred behaviors, ensuring a pleasant learning journey for your dog. This humane approach is scientifically proven to be the most effective long-term training method, strengthening the bond between you and your pet. By consistently rewarding good behavior, your dog learns to associate actions with positive outcomes, leading to lasting improvements and a happier companion.
Yes, they are. Our trainers are adept in basic obedience or intricate behavioral challenges. Browse their profiles to identify a trainer who specializes in the particular issues you wish to address.
Simply click on the preferred trainer's profile to access their contact details. From there, you can get in touch to discuss your requirements and set up training appointments.
Group sessions offer a communal setting where your dog learns general obedience alongside other dogs. In contrast, private sessions grant focused attention, making them perfect for targeted behavior modifications or individualized training agendas.
All our trainers are committed to positive reinforcement techniques and steer clear of any harsh or punitive methods. Their primary goal is to make training a joyous journey for you and your dog.
Results depend on factors like your dog's nature, the specific behaviors in question, and your training consistency. While many clients observe improvements in just a few sessions, it's crucial to be patient and persistent.
Reach out to the trainer you're interested in to discuss possibly attending a session. It's a great way to get a feel for their approach and see if it aligns with your expectations.
