We trusted Bijan with our German Sheppard and Huskey and they both learned so much, and with his training when we picked up, we now know how to keep them sharp and how to even teach new behaviors, we're very happy with the training and information Bijan and team provided.

ORA dog training did a great job with our Aussiekai. When we first brought him to Bijan he was wild, peed in the house, and wouldn't listen. Now he is much calmer, listens to commands, and goes to the bathroom on command. Thank you so much for everything! More...

I was hesitant about leaving my precious puppy but wow, what a significant change. He's firm but kind, and Jolene has great respect for him. We are still working things out, but a considerable improvement. More...

I found Bijan and ORA Dog Training after some research through Google/internet searches. I was looking for someone that could help my mom with her 100 pound, sweet but crazy Labrador. I had used a trainer for my previous dog in Alaska which changed my life so I started looking for someone in S. Florida for Bruno with similar training methods.
Bruno went through the board and train program where he spent a few weeks at Bijans home and training facility. Bijan was kind and patient with my mom. Bijan and ORA are literal life changers. My husband who is hard to impress, was blown away by Bijans training (of both the dog AND us). We can actually go out and walk Bruno and enjoy it. Thank you Bijan and Danny for such amazing work, training and service. I highly recommend Bijan to anyone who is looking for a top notch trainer in Florida.

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! More...

From our first conversation, I knew that Bijan was the one to work with my Reese. My boy is a rescue Lab who came from an abusive situation. He has some reactivity issues which escalated during our lengthy relocation process to Florida. His needs were greater than my abilities, I felt a residency program would best meet our needs. I am so pleased with the results! Bijan has given both Reese and me the tools, confidence and encouragement we needed. I highly recommend Bijan! The name says so much: Obedience Relationship Affection More...

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!

There were lots of trainers to choose from, but I chose Bijan to help teach me and my Brussels Griffon puppy, Paddington Bear! Bijan was the finest example of a caring, patient, person. He is knowledgeable, gentle, very kind, especially with me, as I am the one who had to learn in order to teach the pup! He always was on time. Always could be found, completely honest, man of his word, and most of all, and incredible trainer. I would recommend Bijan to all my friends. If you ever have any questions please feel free to call me directly: Toni Lee 561-301-6234. More...

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 chose ORA Dog Training after researching dog training programs in the area, reading the reviews, and then speaking with a few dog owners who had used Bijan to train their dog. Frankly, it was the dog owner’s enthusiasm that sold on the program. We knew that it was best for both us and our rescue pup Koko to get trained. We did the boarding training and, although we missed the dog, this was the absolute right decision. Bijan took an extremely fearful dog and helped her to better adapt to the world. Koko would not even say “boo” to my husband before the training and now her tail wags and doesn’t shy away. Our dog went to Bijan knowing no commands and being extremely fearful. The dog he returned to us has more confidence, and really looks to us to help guide her through her days. Training both the dog and the owner has taught us both the value of discipline in living out lives together. We enthusiastically recommend ORA Dog Training! More...

We started with Bijan the first week we got her and all I can say is, “Wow! ” Bijan has the heart of a teacher and is very passionate about what he does. One session with him and we noticed a difference right away. He taught us all so much and Roxy has been amazing! We highly recommend Bijan and ORA Dog Training.

Short Review: Absolutely amazing! Highly, highly, highly recommend for you and your fury friend!

Long review: I was lucky enough to have met Bijan through a very close mutual friend, and had the opportunity to spend some quality time with him before even discussing dog training of any kind. One day, while complaining about my dog’s pulling problem, Bijan and several other friends encouraged me to bring my beast to Bijan and the fix would be quick and simple. I have to admit I was a little skeptical at first, I had done a decent amount of research, am lucky to have a dog who is a fast learner, and (unbiasedly) pretty intelligent.
To give you some additional color, I did not walk the beast, the beast 100% walked me. I was always nervous that he would see something of interest and take off without me being able to control him. Dangerous for both of us. Additionally, walking the beast was an absolute misery..until..our first session with Bijan. After just one session, a few quick walking and communication fixes, the beast was walking like the well behaved stud I knew he could be! He stands right at my side, no longer pulls me into every bush and towards every dog we meet – the transformation was INCREDIBLE. Working with Bijan over the subsequent weeks taught me that I really did not understand how to communicate properly with my dog, and that the messages I might be sending him – and he was sending me – were being misinterpreted on both ends. I am so thankful for having the chance to work with Bijan and for helping him transform my relationship with my dog into a healthier and better communicated one! Bijan’s knowledge is extremely extensive and I feel so fortunate that I was able to meet such a competent, wonderful dog trainer prior to our first lesson together. I recommend him with absolutely no reservations! And if I’m being honest, from other dog trainer quotes, his pricing is UNBELIEVABLY reasonable, and he comes right to you. Do yourself and your fury friend a favor and take a class or two with Bijan.

Bijan is a down-to-earth, "get-it done" type of trainer. He knows how to guide the parent & dog through easy to follow steps that bring positive results.

We brought our [then] 3.5 month old Golden Retriever pup to B&B Dogworks for a 2 week Board + Train and could not be happier!

Bijan taught our little guy ALL his commands (sit, down and place with implied stay, free, crate, come, heel) no more dilly dallying at potty time, he’s a JOY to walk – no more pulling on the leash, crate anxiety seems to have completely disappeared, he’s significantly calmer around my 4 year old daughter and her friends, he eats his food when we give it to him instead of picking at it for hours… the list goes on and on….

Our ‘Go Home’ session was held in Prospect Park where Bijan spent 2 hours teaching us all of Bucky’s new ‘tricks’ – we were in shock at what he'd accomplished in just 2 short weeks! Our little beastie was transformed into a complete and utter gentleman! Bijan definitely went above and beyond our expectations.

You can tell Bijan loves what he does and it’s reflected in his results. We’re so excited to continue working and building on this incredible foundation he’s laid for us.

In short, our experience couldn’t have been more positive – I highly recommend sending your pup to B&B Dogworks!

If you are reading this review one thing is clear you love your pet and want the very best for them. I can attest that Bijan and OAR Dog Training is it! My pet completed her training program with Bijan in December of 2017. Choosing a dog trainer was not easy! Thankfully Bijan came HIGHLY recommended by my dog walker. After reading reviews and having an initial phone conversation with Bijan I knew he would be the perfect fit for my pet. His depth of knowledge, enthusiasm for what he does and commitment to you and your pet is clear from the get go. My favorite part of the program was seeing the immediate progress Bijan was able to facilitate with my WILD, anxious, frantic, all over the place little pit bull. His patience, technique and persistence were impressive. My doubt (in my pet, not Bijan) was immediately erased. My relationship with my dog has been changed forever. I can confidently interact with her correcting undesirable behaviors, giving commands and always feeling that the tools Bijan gave me are reliable! Bijan and his programs exceed a 5 star review.

I brought my crazy, crazy pup (Clancy) outside to meet Bijan for a board/train. Clancy immedietly jumped on him and spazzed out! I went back inside to grab something I’d forgotten, and came back out to find my dog laying at Bijan’s feet, looking up at him while Bijan stood calmly waiting. I knew this would be good for my dog.
After one session here, Clancy was an expert at recall, going to his “place” whenever I told him to, and was free of his food aggression. Clancy returned to me a very obedient dog, without having his spirit broken!
ORA is pretty awesome. My only complaint is that they are no longer in NYC;)

We brought Lucky, our rescue puppy, to Bijan because having a dog in the family was new to all of us. We wanted Lucky’s transition to his forever home to be as easy on all of us (including Lucky) as possible.

Our favorite part of the program was how Bijan facilitated our bonding with Lucky. The sessions occurred in our home and walking in our neighborhood, and Bijan worked with all of us and ensured that each of us interacted with Lucky in the best way possible. We all took turns “walking politely” with Lucky.

Our biggest takeaway was that we had to work as hard as Lucky did to make the training a success. But the work was fun!

We were all anxious before we began the program with Bijan, but the relationship changed because through the hard work, Lucky began to truly trust us and we were able to communicate to him what we expected him to do. And we trusted him to follow our lead.

The program certainly gave us a strong set of tools for the future with Lucky, and we are thankful to Bijan for all that we have learned.

We highly recommend Bijan’s program!

I met Bijan about 5 years ago through a rescue I work with. What is so wonderful about Bijan is he is willing to take on some of the most difficult and challenging dogs that other trainers are not able or willing to take on. I watched him take on many dogs from rescues and turn those dogs around. I referred many clients to Bijan over the years and everyone was very pleased with his results. Bijan is a direct, no nonsense guy but at the same time super friendly. He does an excellent job and we are very sorry to loose him to sunny and warm Florida. You will get great results. More...

When we met Flora she was a year-and-a-half old pitbull (we suspect she's actually half pig, half dog). She was sweet and smart but also 55 pounds and full of energy.

We read amazing things about Bijan and hired him to teach Flora how to walk down the street like a lady, rather than nearly ripping our arms out of their sockets. He did that and more.

What's so amazing about Bijan is that he doesn't just train your dog, he teaches YOU how to. So we did one session on walking, and others working on all sorts of other commands and behaviors. She's remarkably well-behaved. Everyone says so. We're so bummed that Bijan moved to Florida, but with what we learned from him, we're empowered to continue to help Flora be what she was born to be - the most amazing dog in the entire world.

In sum, the basic dog program was amazing, as was the additional work we did on getting Flora off leash and to play nice with other dogs (and general refreshers).

We miss you Bijan! Please come hang with the three of us soon!!!

Love,
Paula, Peter, and Flora (the Explora)

Mika was 9 months and 50 lbs when I got her. She was scared and likes to jump on me. Getting her out of the crate was a nightmare. She started to frustrate me as I do not know how to deal with her behavior but I know I am not giving up on my rescue.

She is now getting very confident, obedient and fun to be with. I discovered how smart she is.

Would I go for another training session with ORA? Definitely. I would recommend him to anyone who needs a trainer.

I brought my dog (3.5 year old boxer/lab mix) to B&B Dogworks because he pulled on the leash, had separation anxiety, and needed work on his recall. He pulled so badly that my family refused to walk him. After one session with Bijan, he stopped pulling on the leash. My father, who had just had a knee replacement, was able to walk him without any issues. During the sessions after that we continued doing work on the leash, but also added in recall and some exercises to help with his separation anxiety. The work we did made big improvements in Rocky's confidence and he listens much better. He even leaves me alone while I'm eating!

Thanks Bijan!

Not sure where to start but Bijan has been our saving grace. My husband and I rescued a 2.5 year old dog from the Manhattan ACC in the Spring of 2015. After meeting her and falling in love we brought her home. All of her behavioral tests were great per the shelter so did not think twice about adding her to our family. As soon as we got her to our apartment we quickly realized this was not the case and that this poor dog had been abused and was very fear aggressive with both people and other dogs. She was very ill with pneumonia when we adopted her so it was not until we nursed her back to health that her true personality and fears came through to their full extent. Not going to lie I was scared the first few months not knowing how to handle this situation and in one of my breaking moments I found B&B Dogworks on Yelp and gave him a call. He stayed on the phone with me that night for 45 minutes, asking questions, giving sound advice and reassuring me that it would be OK. At that point we had not signed up for any lessons but this is just the type of person Bijan is and the type of business he runs. Needless to say he is not only our dog trainer still almost 2 years later but a friend as well. We could not even walk our dog Puck when we first got her and now she is a great pack walker. Bijan does in home training weekly so that Puck is in her environment along with board and trains when we need to go out of town. He is ALWAYS there. We have made major progress and have learned alot about rescues along the way. In time we have worked on her confidence and shown her that people are not scary. She can with proper introductions now interact nicely with other dogs and is getting used to visitors coming into our home. We cannot thank Bijan enough for what he has done and continues to do. A true professional who lives, breathes and truly loves and understands dogs. More...

Bijan's approach to dog training is very pragmatic and focused on communicating in a style that is accessible to your dog.  My 5.5 month old puppy spent a week with Bijan for board and train.  Our walks are much better.  She responded to well to his approach and has stopped pulling and running up to every dog and person on the street.  I feel like the greater challenge than Bijan's training of Bindi was the training he had to do with me, but he was patient and encouraging and eventually I got the hang of it!  The time he takes to pass on his work to you is the most valuable part of the experience.  We will be back again soon for another week!

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 B&B Dogworks, 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, B&B Dogworks are miracle workers and are extremely patient, understanding, and courteous to dogs and their owners!

We brought our [then] 3.5 month old Golden Retriever pup to B&B Dogworks for a 2 week Board + Train and could not be happier! Bijan taught our little guy ALL his commands (sit, down and place with implied stay, free, crate, come, heel) no more dilly dallying at potty time, he’s a JOY to walk – no more pulling on the leash, crate anxiety seems to have completely disappeared, he’s significantly calmer around my 4 year old daughter and her friends, he eats his food when we give it to him instead of picking at it for hours… the list goes on and on.Our 'Go Home Session' was held in Prospect Park where Bijan spent 2 hours teaching us all of Bucky’s new tricks – we were in shock at what he'd accomplished in just 2 short weeks! Our little beastie was transformed into a complete and utter gentleman! Bijan definitely went above and beyond our expectations.You can tell Bijan loves what he does and it’s reflected in his results. We’re so excited to continue working and building on this incredible foundation he’s laid for us.In short, our experience couldn’t have been more positive – I highly recommend sending your pup to B&B Dogworks!

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 B&B Dogworks, 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.

I brought my dog (3.5 year old boxer/lab mix) to B&B Dogworks because he pulled on the leash, had separation anxiety, and needed work on his recall. He pulled so badly that my family refused to walk him. After one session with Bijan, he stopped pulling on the leash. My father, who had just had a knee replacement, was able to walk him without any issues. During the sessions after that we continued doing work on the leash, but also added in recall and some exercises to help with his separation anxiety. The work we did made big improvements in Rocky's confidence and he listens much better. He even leaves me alone while I'm eating!I look forward to continuing with advanced training once Rocky has mastered his current skills.Thanks Bijan! More...

I was lucky enough to have met Bijan through a very close mutual friend, and had the opportunity to spend some quality time with him before even discussing dog training of any kind. One day, while complaining about my dog's pulling problem, Bijan and several other friends encouraged me to bring my beast to Bijan and the fix would be quick and simple. I have to admit I was a little skeptical at first, I had done a decent amount of research, am lucky to have a dog who is a fast learner, and (unbiasedly) pretty intelligent. To give you some additional color, I did not walk the beast, the beast 100% walked me. I was always nervous that he would see something of interest and take off without me being able to control him. Dangerous for both of us. Additionally, walking the beast was an absolute misery..until..our first session with Bijan. After just one session, a few quick walking and communication fixes, the beast was walking like the well behaved stud I knew he could be! He stands right at my side, no longer pulls me into every bush and towards every dog we meet - the transformation was INCREDIBLE. Working with Bijan over the subsequent weeks taught me that I really did not understand how to communicate properly with my dog, and that the messages I might be sending him - and he was sending me - were being misinterpreted on both ends. I am so thankful for having the chance to work with Bijan and for helping him transform my relationship with my dog into a healthier and better communicated one! Bijan's knowledge is extremely extensive and I feel so fortunate that I was able to meet such a competent, wonderful dog trainer prior to our first lesson together. I recommend him with absolutely no reservations! And if I'm being honest, from other dog trainer quotes, his pricing is UNBELIEVABLY reasonable, and he comes right to you. Do yourself and your fury friend a favor and take a class or two with Bijan. More...

Q&As

Helping dog owners build a better relationship with their furry family members.

I come from a teaching background and after working with my own dog and helping other people with theirs, it felt like the right thing to do.

There are a lot of methods and philosophies of dog training out there and some trainer will stick to only one of them that they feel has the best results. Every dog is different though just like every owner which means we need to adapt to the situation. My experience in teaching in different environments helped me build this adaptability with dogs and their owners using a variety of approaches with always getting the same great result.
