I just wish we found them sooner. One of our current dogs, who was rescued from a shelter, and didn't have a good beginning, has many issues, both behavior and aggression related. I had two veterinarians tell me the answer was to simply "put her to sleep." I was both appalled and angry. I believe in rescuing dogs not killing dogs! Thankfully a wonderful rescue whom our other dog is from (Rebound Hounds), highly recommended Dan and Shana. They have been a god send to both my partner and myself and most certainly, to our dog. There isn't a cookie cutter approach to what works for each and every dog. Like people, dogs are individuals, and what works for training one dog may not be what another dog needs. Dan and Shana worked with our dog, my partner and myself. They are both patient, compassionate and so well versed in both what the dog needs and, how to teach their humans. Our girl needed extensive training. She is now doing training while living with them and their other trainer Dayna. I love my dogs and it wasn't easy to take the leap of faith to send my pup away for several months. It's because I trust them so much, that I am at ease. I know not only is she being treated like a member of their own pack, she is learning and growing so much. We get video, photo and video call updates. I see how our dog is becoming so different, in the most positive way. She is becoming the dog she is meant to be. I know when she comes home, we will have to continue to do the work and, it's so worth it. I see her progress and I think of the two veterinarians who's solution was to put her to sleep! Thank you Dan and Shana, you are the best! I

I wish there were more stars! Royah is amazing. She is extremely passionate about her craft and…read moreyour dog is in great hands. I highly recommend. At the time that we contacted her, we were about to add a 4 month old Shih-Tzu to our family. We were incredibly concerned about potty training and making sure he didn't bite/chew our things. Royah didn't have availability right away, but she offered to come to receive him the day he came home for a training session to introduce him to our home/family/routine. She offered guidance on how to set up our home to be most conducive to him getting acclimated. That was incredibly helpful! When availability opened up, we then transition to her Board & Train service -- which is really unique. It builds in opportunities for family visits with our puppy while he was being trained. This made sure that he didn't forget us, but also that we were included in the training. The visits were very fun. Board and Train is not cheap, but should it be? No. Her pricing is also extremely competitive and you get more than what others offer - trust me, I did a lot of research. Royah was also extremely intentional about understanding our family's day-to-day so that she could train him according to our individual circumstance. For example, if no one is home for 10 hours at a time, she needs to make sure that she organizes his day accordingly so that families will have continued success with the dog's routine upon return. If you have a school aged child. During training, Royah would take the puppy to nearby schools so that the puppy gets accustomed to the chaos of school let out, being around lots of kids, and school buses. In addition, to basic training, he also learned some tricks. Royah is also really kind and thoughtful. We had some extremely cold winter days and our pup didn't have a coat, she took him to get one. There were also some bitter cold snow days that didn't allow as much outdoor training as she would have liked, so she kept him an extra two days at no charge. She also continues to be a resource. If we have any questions or concerns on new habits that our puppy has picked up, she will offer guidance and suggestions on how to address. When he returned home, there was a day or two of him forgetting his routine - which is normal. But, then it was smooth sailing. He's accident free in the home and extremely well behaved when out. None of our valuables have been chewed/eaten and he has an amazing disposition. A lot of that is due to Royah's skilled training. I also have to stress that it is very important to continue to replicate what Royah taught at home -- reinforcement is necessary to keep the learned training alive.

Luna was curious but anxious about her new surroundings here in Queens. She was reactive on leash and she used demand barking to impose her will. Food was also a factor in her behavior.

She is masterful at how to elicit desired behavior, from the dog and the doggie's human family. We worked both inside and outside our home.

We tried a local in-person puppy class but our dog was too nervous to be around other dogs and then COVID sit down the training options. I found CCA from following one of their famous clients Dog With Sign and figured I would try a virtual training class. Boy was I surprised! Not only were Karishma, Gemma, and Ingrid knowledgeable trainers, they also have a few differentiators: 1. First and foremost the virtual training method worked really well for my nervous pup. She didn't have to be around other dogs and smells and trainers to have a quality experience. 2. CCA was virtual before virtual was cool! They are masters of the format, running classes that seamlessly shift presentation mode to "god mode" offering observation coaching and teaching easily. 3. The trainer in your pocket support between classes was awesome for holding You accountable and troubleshooting between sessions. 4. I've done three sessions and each one has been more wonderfully diverse than the last!! It's a treat find a trainer and community that will use your correct pronouns and create an incredibly inclusive community. We love CCA and look to them as leaders in the compassionate and consensual dog training space!

I found Karishma through a referral from a friend. I needed help with my poodle, Bella, barking at…read moreother dogs on walks. It was getting harder and harder as Bella got bigger. Karishma came to our home for the first initial. I have worked with trainers and taken puppy courses at Petco and other dog schools in NYC, but there is something different about Karishma. She immediately saw that Bella was only barking at a certain type of dog, and she taught me how to manage it. After a few sessions of Day Training (where Karishma came to our home and walked and trained Bella for us), Bella stopped barking at other dogs! Karishma has also helped us when we traveled on a plane with Bella, and we attended one Playground where a trainer watched other dogs socialize. Bella had a great time and we would have continued, but the location was too far for us. I wish we had brought Bella to Calm Canine Academy when Bella was younger. My parents think that Bella is a completely new dog, and the best thing is how happy Bella is when she sees Karishma. I recommend all my friends and their dogs to see Karishma. She is great.

This review for Walk Dog Talk Dog is extremely long overdue, especially considering how invaluable…read moreour experience with Sean has been throughout the years. My husband and I reached out to Sean after he was recommended to us by another dog owner we knew, and after we had worked with four previous trainers with limited success. We were struggling with two very large, male adolescent Chow Shepherd mix littermates, whom we had adopted from a rescue without knowing any of the cautionary tales about raising littermates together and how difficult the training process can be. Before Sean, we primarily received criticism and judgment from trainers rather than actual training techniques and strategies. Sean was undeterred by the fact that we had littermates, and he provided clear guidance and feedback from day one. Our dogs were immediately responsive, and our sessions with Sean completely transformed our communication and relationship with our boys. His patience and insightful feedback really instilled confidence in us as owners of large breed dogs, and we have since received countless comments about how well-behaved our dogs are (which we always attribute to his expert training). Sean has remained such an incredible resource and support system for us and was even there for us when we very unexpectedly lost one of our dogs to hemangiosarcoma earlier this year. We were beyond devastated, and he was a beacon of light during that dark and painful time. I honestly can't recommend him and Walk Dog Talk Dog enough. We are forever grateful that he came into our lives!
