I came across ORA Dog Training under the recommendation of a friend. I was shopping around for a trainer that I felt would fit both myself as well as my puppies, (I have two Yorkies). The trainer's name is Bijan. He is incredibly friendly and super positive. I loved how he interacted with my pups. I was concerned because many trainers appeared too "rough" for what I wanted in my young puppies. He handled them with the same care I do and was able to accomplish the training needed. Not only did my boys learn new commands such as: "Sit", "Place", "Down", etc, but as a parent, I learned a great deal as well. I learned how to further the dogs' training as well as simple information I did not know. Having been through several training sessions with Bijan and the puppies, I feel like it has strengthened out bond. It has made the small difficult things very simplified as well. I was with ORA while they were based in New York. I am so happy with the results that I am planning a boarding session in which I will fly the dogs to Florida in order to continue the training. I highly recommend ORA for dog training!

For the majority of dog owners, choosing the right dog trainer is one of the most important decisions they will have to make regarding their dog.
Upon becoming new dog parents to a Dandie Dimmout Terrier named Winston, I often found myself saying "no one knows my dog like I do." Through the training and guidience of Bijan, owner of ORA Dog Training, we realized that we weren’t truly understanding Winston. Bijan trained us to understand our dog’s needs and natural tendencies and the proper way to handle them so that we could live happier lives as dogowners, and most importantly, that Winston could live a happier dog life! While many dog owners might be proficient handlers, Bijan possessed a skillset and information in which he mastered, and the gap between a well-meaning, intelligent dog owner and a trained professional.
Bijan is a great listener and is interested in your take on your dog's characteristics, tendencies, personal history, strengths and weaknesses. Rather than immediately dictating who and what needs to change, Bijan starts by sitting down and talking through expectations, concerns and philosophies before starting any actual training or behavior modification work.
Bijan was a great communicator both in terms of listening to our questions and concerns as well teaching us and our dog. We were enthused that he wanted to know everything possible about the dog's background so that he could more quickly and effectively identify root causes and implement a positive training protocol.
Bijan always included us in the training. He would constantly and effectively communicate what he was doing, and one of his primary goals was for us to step in and eventually take over the actual training with our dog, Winston. Bijan does not only train your dog, but more importantly, he trains you to properly guide your dog.
When we first met with Bijan, Winston was a total brat! Did what he wanted, when he wanted, and didn’t understand what we were trying to communicate to him. To be honest, we were skeptical as to how much progress was possible with our disobedient pup, but like magic, after the first hour-long session at our apartment, the progress was amazingly positive! We couldn’t even walk Winston without him sitting on the sidewalk and resisting. Now, Winston is a calm obedient dog (when we want him to be) but he is still the active loveable puppy he has always been.
I recommend Bijan to all my friends who own a dog or who are bringing a new dog into their home.
Bottom line, hands down, ORA Dog Training are miracle workers and are extremely patient, understanding, and courteous to dogs and their owners!

We were struck by Bijan's evident rapport with the dogs, his credentials, and were delighted to see that he lives very close to us. I called Bijan and he took so much time to talk to me and explain his program. I knew that we were on the right path. His communication skills were excellent throughout the entire process. I had no hesitation in turning our dog Vincent over because I knew that this was going to be life changing for all of us.
I loved seeing Vincent in videos working with Bijan and his assistant. It was further reassurance that we had made the right decision. The biggest turning point was when Bijan brought Vincent back to our home and we got trained too. And the best part is that Bijan is accessible and encourages questions. I have so much more confidence in working with Vincent now and I see that he looks to me to be in charge. Vincent and I are both enjoying our walks and training now. He is a much happier dog. I cannot believe how much he was taught in the course of 3 weeks.
I highly recommend Bijan because he is a true professional, and I know that I can always contact him with any issues that I have with Vincent. His dedication to my dog was 100%++, so I cannot write enough nice words.

We were very fortunate to find Bijon and ORA dog training. After we adopted a puppy, frustration quickly grew into our home. We contact Bijon and enroller our puppy (and ourselves!) into the ORA Puppy program. Bijon came to the house and send over two hours with us that first appointment. He showed us and help institute structure and rules, and almost immediately began to see results. The other weekly lessons we had with Bijon and work we did over the course the the next few weeks continued to provided welcome results.
A few months later, we enrolled our dog into the Residency Program. Our dog while still a puppy was overly hyper and didn't really know how to chill in the house or go on a calm walk without pulling and pulling the leash. After 4 weeks with Bijon and ORA (he stayed an extra week cause he wasn't quite ready to come home) our dog came home with a lot more structure and obedience. He no longer pulls on his leash, we even can spend time off leash, without (too much) fear of him bolting.
Bijon really took the time to explain everything to our family, especially our two young boys in a way they could understand.
Like I said in the beginning, we are so happy to have worked with Bijon and ORA, and would highly recommend them!

Bijan and his apprentices COMPLETELY transformed my two pitts Bravo (45lb) and Saint (65lb). Before, they were out of control, sometimes even lashing out at each other, and for Bravo, at pretty much anything that moved or made a sound she didn’t recognize. While she still has some work to do really cinching the idea that everything isn’t out to get her or her owners, she is so much less reactive and less anxious and able to self regulate even if she does have a slip up, we have had guests over and she has been a marvel compared to before, relaxed and more self assured. While Saint is a always a sweetheart, before, he had no boundaries, would counter surf, and used his size to bully and ignore others. Bijan brought them back to us with all the ground work in place and it has completely changed my relationship to them, now there is not only love, but respect and partnership, they are a joy to walk and they hang out calmly inside the house and are overall so much less stressed/stressful. Thanks Bijan!
