Alf on his way to the Park with Steph

Our dog deficiency had gone on far too long so I scoured the world wide web to find our sweet, silly, Alf. We loved him instantly--he's kind, humorous, and fills our hearts with joy daily. There was no way we'd reciprocate by leaving him alone for hours on end, wondering if that noisy stinky kennel wasn't so bad after all. I called my neighbors who have a most resplendent Great Dane, figuring they'd have a resource or two, and yes, they sure did! The Dane family connected me to Jason, the very thorough and caring founder of GoDoG, and the rest has been the history of bliss. After we humans head to work, Alf knows he's one short nap away from his best day ever, every day: His beloved Steph (or sometimes Ana or Giulia) arrives to help him with his ongoing research project: How do squirrels get up trees? Working theory: nice long toenails. He's been blessed with lab assistants who "get" him, and give him the time to watch and learn. And play, and experience his dogginess, safely. Alf is a lucky dog to have GoDoG in his life!

The GoDog team, especially our most common walkers Nikko, Jason, and Steph, have been amazing this past year for our 2-year-old pup Harper. Harper is a shy, anxious, loving pup who quickly grew to trust and adore her walkers and best doggo buds Finn and JoJo. She runs to the door with every buzzer hoping to see her pals. With Harper having a very limited diet and significant health issues (EPI, SIBO, IBS, food allergies, and noise phobias) the GoDog team has been patient and caring throughout her long diagnosis journey. The consistent socialization with her outgoing and relaxed dog friends has brought Harper out of her comfort zone and has helped her enjoy walks more on the busy streets of Brooklyn - as long as there are no garbage trucks :) Jason is fantastic at matching dog personalities - they all bring out the best in each other. You're in good hands with this crew!

I can't recommend GoDog Brooklyn enough! Our great dane has been walking with them for close to two years now, and the GoDog crew has been wonderfully accommodating to his specific needs due to his size (solo walks, slower pace, stops to rest on hot days, etc.). Jason clearly cares about all his doggy clients and their parents, and Nikko and Steph are wonderful walkers (Jerry gives them lots of nose boops each time they come by). If you are within their neighborhood range in Brooklyn, you should 100% have one of the GoDog crew take care of your pup!!

The owner of GoDog, Jason, and his crew are THE BEST. My very discerning (snobby) 11 year old Weimaraner, Olive, is in love with Jason, I think. She will happily walk me to the block where he lives and sit outside his door. When we meet Jason on the street, she about pees herself with excitement. When she stays at Jason's while we are out of town, she prefers snugging up to Jason instead of coming home. I should be offended, but I'm not. I'm thrilled she's so happy. Jason has known & walked Olive since she was a pup, and he is one of the kindest and most genuine people I've ever met. He loves dogs and he understands what they need. And that's the standard he holds for his entire team. I've never had anything but wonderful experiences with the GoDog family in 11 years. Can't recommend their walking and dog sitting services more.

Just wanted to provide a quick update. Unfortunately we lost our beloved Bear to cancer a few years ago when he was only 4 years old. Jason and his team were beyond supportive - even bringing Bear homemade food when he lost his appetite and couldn't keep much down. Their love for our pup in his final days meant the world to us. When we decided to get another lab, going back to Jason and the GoDog team was an easy decision. We use them for daily walks and overnight stays when we're out of town. All of the walkers are incredibly trustworthy and reliable. Our pup Finn is very high energy and Jason has done a great job pairing him with other dogs in the neighborhood. We've been part of the GoDog family for almost 8 years and highly recommend them to anyone looking for an awesome dog walking service!

Jason and his team are amazing with Max. They have been working with him over the past year and Max is going to be turning 18 years old this month. They are very caring and attentive to his needs, offering pets, treats, and stimulating him during his walks. Jason is able to accommodate Max for a single walk, instead of a group walk, given his age and arthritis. Jason is very savvy with dogs and gained Max's trust really fast and knows how to handle and walk with him. Jason and his team respect our Covid-19 requests when coming into the house and while walking Max and we greatly appreciate it! Overall, we are so happy to have found GoDog and their services. Max always has a big smile after his walks and we couldn't be happier! We highly recommend them.

We've been working with Jason for several months now, and he's nothing short of a miracle worker. Our 110 lb dog was found as an adult stray, and seems to have had no socialization at all with other dogs. As a result of that isolation, and who knows what other awful experiences, she tended to be extremely anxious around and aggressive towards other dogs and sometimes even human strangers. We hired several trainers before Jason which brought some small improvements to her behavior, but since she's been meeting with Jason, she is a changed pup: overall calmer, happier, no longer triggered by other dogs and even able to hang out (supervised and muzzled) with other dogs in dog parks, which for us is nothing short of a miracle. Even walking her is like walking a completely different dog, one who not only is not aggressive towards other dogs, but interested in and friendly toward them, whereas before we often couldn't even walk on the same street if there were other dogs there. We only wish we had found Jason sooner, for all of our sakes.

Our sweet pup Pippin loves pizza, blueberries, other dogs, and just a handful of humans. Jason and his team of well-trained professionals are definitely among the carefully-vetted humans he adores. GoDogBrooklyn continues to be our trusted dog walking company. They are very responsive, flexible when needed, and very knowledgeable. They continue to work with Pippin and reinforce the good skills he has learned in the early days.

We have been using the GoDog team for around a year with our 50lb energetic Husky and he LOVES Steph and all the team. He gets super excited for his regular walks and the team have been very accommodating for any last-minute needs as well. GoDog were recommended by our dog trainer and the team have helped maintain his training along with giving him lots of exercise, attention and socialization. We get updates on how each walk goes along with photos and the team always ensure everything is set when he gets back home from his walk as well. Highly recommended!

We've been with Jason and GoDog for over two years. Words cannot express how happy and grateful we are to have found this amazing team. Our dog, Juno, had a lot of anxiety and trust issues when we first got her. After two bad experiences with different walkers, we were convinced we wouldn't find a walker because fear and aggression got the best of her. Then we found Jason through Yelp and scheduled time to meet. The moment Juno met Jason and went right in to give him kisses, we knew he was the right fit. His team has completely changed Juno by giving her the love, trust, and patience that she so badly needed. One specific member of Jason's team, Xavier, has been instrumental in Juno's continual progress. Like all stories of progress, Juno has had her setbacks. And Xavier has seen her at her worst and yet he shows up every day, positive and energetic. Over the past two years, Juno has transformed into the loving, sweet dog we knew she could be. Through personalized attention and socialization, Juno has learned to trust other dogs. It was practically impossible to introduce her to other dogs in the beginning but now she walks seamlessly with her crew of pups. Earlier this year she started playing with another dog - which might not sound like a huge improvement but if you'd seen her leash aggression before, you'd understand how that moment brought tears to our eyes. We have also used GoDog for overnight stays. Notably, we had a last minute emergency trip with no planned return date before the holidays. Jason seamlessly coordinated his team to watch Juno and made sure to keep us updated the entire two weeks that we ended up being gone. We are moving out of the area and are beyond devastated to be leaving the GoDog family. We almost didn't move just because we didn't want to leave this amazing team. That's how great they all are. Jason and GoDog have changed Juno's life, as well as ours. We will be forever grateful to him and his team for the amazing work he's done. You'll never find better pup-care in BK than GoDog.

My husband and I adopted our sweet and energetic Penny two years ago and immediately realized we needed a walker. We asked around and did some research and came across Jason and his crew at GoDog. We could NOT be any happier!!!! The updates we get from our main walker John are detailed, thorough, and hysterical. He is always attentive to Penny and her needs, always ensure that she is taken care of and treated with love. Jason is literally the greatest ever - communicative and professional! I have an ongoing text chain with him and responds in the blink of an eye, which is crucial when emergencies come up. Their prices are perfect too, to be living in Brooklyn and have such a reliable crew of Dog walkers makes us incredibly happy and our sweet girl even happier. We trust them with Penny every single day! If my schedule changes or if something comes up, they are attentive and flexible which means a LOT to us! If we move we may need to bring Jason and GoDog with us :) Definitely recommend their services - even walks on the weekend if they're needed!

Donna C.

I can't say enough good things about Jason and his amazing team. We have been clients for over 2 years and are so lucky to have found such a trusting and caring group of people to take care of our dog Riley. My schedule is constantly changing and he has always gone out of his way to make sure that someone is available to help, even if it's a last minute request. Riley has always been anxious around people he doesn't know, but that completely changed once we started using Jason and his team. Riley's socialization with other dogs has greatly improved now that he gets regular walks with his park slope pack and I love knowing that he is out having fun when I can't be home with him. Jason is always there to give advice and offer support and we are so grateful for his love and care of our pup. They are seriously the best!

Jack is always excited to see his pals for the daily walk!

See all

He's a…read more'sato' (mixed breed) from Puerto Rico who was skittish, a lousy walker, hyper for other dogs since he was born in a cave & then fostered in the suburbs in a house with two other dogs who basically just went potty in the backyard. I spent 1.5 hours in the pouring rain w Anthony as we walked Benny into the field, where he was off-leash and learning how to follow, and also enjoying his time socializing with dogs. Anthony impressed upon me how important social play is for dogs to PURGE THE ENERGY out. Not going to lie, i LOVE to walk with dogs, and sitting around while THEY play was not my thing. LOL. WORLD OF A DIFFERENCE it has made. Benny is a great walker now (not pulling 90% of the time). He knows how to act when other dogs walk by us as he is rewarded to meet them after behaving! He's doing so well. Still a little touchy on the running toddlers and guarding, but I am confident we'll get there thanks for Anthony's guidance! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM, especially for new pups and rescue dogs!

When he was approached by new people he would aggressively bark and growl. I had worked with another dog trainer for over a year -- his problems just became worse. I became reluctant to do things with Gus because I was fearful he would growl/bark/act inappropriately when meeting new people. I was at my wits end and I consulted with a well respected training program here in NYC that said he was a "moderate to severe case" and would need multiple weeks of boarding training + years of follow up training to address his issues. Anthony solved Gus's problems in 1 session. Yes, 1 session... Within seconds of meeting him, Anthony just "got" Gus. His advice and feedback was completely different from the feedback I got from the other trainers and Gus responded immediately. I am not exaggerating when I say that Gus has not growled or barked at a single stranger since working with Anthony. I have been able to do so much with Gus and he seems so much calmer, happier and more confident than he was before. I only wish I had reached out to Anthony a year and a half ago. TL;DR- Don't waste your time or money with other trainers. Call Anthony today. You will be glad you did.

He was friendly to everyone when we first brought him home, but within a month or so he became aggressive and bit 8 people without being provoked. I hired 2 different trainers, both of which were bitten by Taz and recommended getting a sedative/relaxant prescription from the vet in order to train him. I couldn't get his attention and he was all over the place on walks, doing whatever he pleased. I was distressed at the thought of not being able to train him and having to send him back to the shelter. Then we started working with Twahlee and we finally saw changes in Taz's behavior. He is a great teacher, very patient and breaks down all the intricacies of dog training into small and manageable steps for the everyday person. Anytime we had a new issue, he always was able to give us a reason why it was happening and specific steps we could take to fix it. He has a great understanding of behavioral problems with dogs and a good system to change and manage those problems. I'm proud to say after a year and 10 classes training with Twahlee, Taz is now a good little boy! He's able to be off leash in the park, he can walk near people and other dogs without reacting, and he has excellent obedience. The training really changed mine and Taz's life - it could have ended very differently for Taz if we didn't get help from Twahlee.

I bought a package for my then-11-yr-old Puli, who I'd recently brought to NY after spending the majority of her life living with my mom in Florida. My dog is quite anxious and barks a lot, and struggled with the transition from living with one person to 8 overnight. I sought Twahlee's help in correcting my dog's anxious tendencies because at this stage of her life, the proper training techniques Twahlee has to offer would have been extremely difficult to implement. He helped give me an array of tools to help teach my dog stronger obedience, which would then lead to greater control over my dog. About 2 years later, I moved into a new home with a housemate who has a dog that can be aggressive with other dogs. Because I hadn't used my entire package, I asked Twahlee if there was a chance he could come by and apply one of my pre-paid classes to visit our home and assess how the two dogs exist in the home. He let me know that packages expire after one year, but that he would come anyway, because ultimately he just wants to help others. This was highly generous of him to do, and I'm extremely grateful for his flexibility. At the end of the day, choosing to work with a trainer is less so to train your dog than to train yourself on how to better manage your pet, and Twahlee did a great educating me on areas I could be doing better. His help and kindness over the last few years has been greatly appreciated, and I can say with great confidence he can make a meaningful difference in every dog and trainer's life.

Renee was very informative and extremely helpful with the situation. We did a private session where she showed me various methods that have proven very effective in helping him with his issues. I also signed up for two leash aggression group sessions, so I could see how he did with other dogs in the class. Renee explained to us how important it was to get the training method right and be consistent for as long as it takes. Zig is doing much better. He has his moments, but many times it's because I didn't catch and correct the behavior in time and I know we are still at the beginning of our little journey. I am confident in Renee's advice because I've seen it work and I know that eventually, with time, Ziggy will be as confident as I am. My favorite thing about working with Renee is that it is obvious she knows and understands dogs and she shares her knowledge in a very unique, funny manner. It's also obvious that she cares. After both the private session and the group sessions, Renee was wonderfully responsive to emails/questions, always inquired about Ziggy's progress and offered additional suggestions if certain things didn't seem to be working. Ziggy and I are both thankful we found her and will definitely be in touch with her for some of the other doggie classes she offers!!!
