Our Core Training Programs

Socialization isn't just about meeting other dogs—it's about exposure to the world. We'll help you navigate those crucial first months with basic cues and impulse control. You'll thank us later when they're not chewing your shoes.

Is your dog suddenly "forgetting" their name? This phase is tough. We focus on curbing jumping, pulling, and excessive barking during the rebellious teenage months. It's about consistency, not volume.

Achieve true off-leash reliability. We introduce complex commands and work through high-distraction environments. Total focus, anywhere, anytime.

Behavior Modification

Real solutions for complex emotional struggles.

Separation Anxiety

We use science-based desensitization protocols to help your pet feel safe when home alone. No more destroyed doorframes or distressed howling.

Resource Guarding

Safety is our priority. We address guarding of food, toys, or spaces using management and positive counter-conditioning techniques.

City Reactivity

New York is loud. We help dogs manage reactivity toward cars, pedestrians, and other dogs so your daily walks aren't 17 minutes of stress.
