A gritty, urban Brooklyn-based reality TV show featuring Drea Smith, former model-turned dog trainer.
“To get us started, the trainer, Andrea Smith of Drea’s Dog World, suggested that we make three simple switches to our equipment. To my surprise, these changes immediately made our walks with Phoenix calmer and safer.”

My mission is to advance the human/canine partnership through positive, reward-based training, rehabilitation, and socialization.
My methodology uses positive reinforcement and motivation, with appropriate correction that fits the dog's personality, size, age and willingness.
Just remember the four P's: Practice, Patience, Perserverance and Praise. You're going to love the results.


Your best friend's best friend,
Andrea Smith

Dog trainer Andrea Smith has a soft spot for one breed in particular: the pit bull. Refusing to label them "bad dogs" as their reputations suggest, Smith focuses on rehabilitating rescued pit bulls that make it out of New York City's shelters. She believes misunderstanding and mishandling of pit bulls is driving their high shelter intake numbers and euthanasia rates in New York City and nationwide. It is a trend she is determined to reverse, one dog at a time. Jane Teeling is a multimedia journalist living in New York City.
