    Chloe J.

    We have been using NYC Pooch as our dog walking service for the past three years. We can not recommend them enough. They are very easy to deal with and have a lot of flexibility. Our dog Thor gets walked by Alesya, who we absolutely LOVE - she genuinely cares for Thor and his well being (which give us such piece of mind whilst we are at work). We receive the most hilarious photos from their walk each day along with a detailed updated - which really brightens your inbox. Thor has great new doggy friends, who he regularly bumps into around the local park. We have always felt safe & secure with NYC Pooch entering our home each day and haven't experienced any issues ever with them. They are a really lovely team, and are such a pleasure to work with.

    We've been using NYC pooch for 6+ years, starting with their puppy visits, then moving to regular daily walks. They've continued to be reliable, professional, and flexible with our crazy schedule and all of our needs. We trust that they find the best walkers who are responsibly trained and truly love dogs. We also love that the walks are personal and not in large groups. We wouldn't trust anyone else with our Maggie! Their emailed pup reports give a rundown of every daily walk, and make our day knowing that Mags is in good hands. We'll be using NYC Pooch for life :)

    I can't say enough positive things about D is for Doggy! Our dog, Ralphie, has been going to…read moredaycare here for over a year and it is his FAVORITE place ever. The staff is amazing and they treat every dog as if they were their own. Ralphie never wants to leave - it's like doggy Disneyland (they even decorate for Halloween, Christmas, etc.!). We've left Ralphie overnight here for both weekend trips and 2-week vacations, and every time has been a success. He has separation anxiety, so boarding at D is for Doggy is perfect because he's never left alone and never put in a crate. The staff is fantastic with following with specific food and medication instructions. Ralphie also gets groomed here and Jesus does an amazing job. He is so sweet and patient with dogs who hate getting groomed. I've referred many other dog owners to D is for Doggy, so I felt it was high time I leave a review. Run your dog here ASAP!

    I picked up my all white dog after grooming with a large greyish black streak down his side. When I…read moreasked the staff what this was they said they thought it was a birthmark and took him to the back to remove it. Several minutes later the groomer came out and said they couldn't get the stain off of him. She informed me they were doing construction in the back and he was laying on the floor under it. The conversation got worse and worse from there. She told me "it was likely something from the air conditioner and she didn't know what it was but it definitely wasn't dangerous." She then casually said if they couldn't get it off I wouldn't have to pay for the grooming.... as if he was a sweater that got stained at the dry cleaner. They ended up giving him two more baths and getting most of it off with Dawn dish soap... which is what they use to take oil spills off of sea creatures. My dog was unsupervised, laying in construction chemicals and came out from his grooming stained. After all of that, they still charged me and barely apologized. I was a regular customer for several years and this was one of the worst experiences I've ever had. Needless to say we have never been back.

Our doodle always looks and smells great after his grooming sessions. He can be nervous at the groomers since he doesn't like the hair dryer, but Anna does a great job calming him down. She also went above and beyond when our doodle had been running around in the mud with his harness--she took the extra time to wash his harness too. Anna gives him the perfect teddy bear cut every time. We've had groomers in the past cut his bangs oddly, making him look strange (almost human like), but Anna shapes his face and ears adorably. She's also great about adapting his cuts for different seasons to keep him comfortable year-round. When we first booked with Anna, we had to wait a couple of weeks since she was fully booked. Now that we're in her schedule, we book sessions in advance and haven't had any issues. She's well worth the wait! It's really hard to find someone you trust with your dog, especially for grooming. We're so happy we went with the neighborhood favorite and are we are extremely grateful for her services!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Fortunately, my wife who works in the Health care field met some women and their therapy dogs who were the most pleasant, well behaved and caring dogs she's ever met. She of course asked where the dogs received their training and they told us about Three Dogs Training. So we immediately enrolled and were not disappointed at all as the class was enjoyable and stimulating both for us and our puppy. Our instructor, Lisa Edwards showed us how easy and fun it is to train your dog and it has allowed us to teach our dog proper manners. If you have a dog that needs training, a puppy that needs some basic socialization or want some help in choosing a dog that mets your lifestyle then check them out.

I hate to think where my dogs would be if it weren't for her. She speaks dog with love and understanding and deals with their humans patiently (I imagine that it the hardest part of her job.) and without making us feel foolish. Will we ever stop attending Three Dogs Training classes? Only if Lisa retires!

She is not only knowledgeable and experienced, but is warm, kind, generous with her time and attention, and truly invests herself in guiding dog owners to enable their dogs live their best possible lives peaceably together. We reached out to Phyllis for help with our very enthusiastic (some might say maniacal!) young puppy, who was not progressing as well as we'd hoped based on our own training methods. We realized we needed help--so Phyllis was our go-to expert. We arranged for a 3-lesson pack of sessions held at our apartment and also outside, each about a week apart. Each time, she brought new insight into our puppy AND into our ways of working with her. She is very attuned to small nuances in human and dog body language and tone of voice that, with practice, can redirect a bad habit without harsh or needless punishment. She is a strong proponent of positive reinforcement, redirecting "naughty" behaviors, and adjusting strategies as needed. And our pup loved and responded beautifully to her! Thanks to Phyllis, our puppy is now listening and learning better, making more progress than she had made with us alone, and is growing into the sweet, smart, and lovely pet we dreamed of. I highly recommend her for any of your dog training issues. WOOF!

After bringing this to there attention they then told me that there was a possibility that kennel cough or seasonal allergies were going around . Why would any place take in dogs if they knew that kennel cough was going around, I would have never allowed my dog to be there . I questioned them about having a separate area for sick dogs and they left me with no answer. I now have to spend more money to bring my dog to the Vet . They didn't even offer to pay for the Vet visit. This is highly unprofessional and is putting dogs at risk of getting sick. I wish I could go back in time and look for a different facility which actually cares for the safety and well-being of the dogs in there care . I would never recommend Instinct Dog Training to any dog owner safety and protecting the dogs health should be a #1 priority but it seems that all they care about is money and not the welfare and well-being of the dogs .

Initially, I had contacted Jay to help me with "hand stripping", a particular technique for grooming wire coated dogs. He explained that the very first step in grooming, for any dog, is to train for obedience-- such as tolerating standing still, lying down, sitting-- and wow, did that make sense! Jay was fatherly, kind, patient, and had a clear syllabus of graded challenges and behaviors with which to follow over the course of the weeks of sessions that we had with him. He took the time to understand what my goals were for both home life and the dream of having my dog work alongside me either as an animal assisted therapy dog (I was an occupational therapist) or as a showbiz dog (my other career). Jay helped me develop these goals and dream both big and small. And thus, our sessions extended way beyond grooming-- to loose-leash walking, developing Arrow's attention and focus, targeting (we went from my puppy simply touching a target with his nose or paw, to opening handicap/ accessible doors when he was tall and strong enough!), and much more-- all when he was just months old! By the time he was 13 months old, Arrow had acquired his first professional gig-- as "Sandy" at the 92nd St Y's production of "Annie". It has now been 8 years of non-stop love and success with my dream dog. He has been on the set of Law and Order, New Amsterdam, She's Gotta Have it Too, among others. He even has had multiple theater critics mention his perfect behavior in reviews! This month, my Arrow performed in his 7th professional production of Annie. During one performance, there was a technical error that stopped the show for 20 minutes. Arrow and I were given permission to come on the stage and entertain the audience with tricks and stories of his "pawsome" career, as well as participate in a Q&A with the captivated audience. Many questions centered around "how did you get Arrow to do THAT!?" And I found myself responding by explaining, "Jay Andors helped us with that!" Jay's mentorship and ongoing support has provided a life-long foundation of success for Arrow and our family, and we can't thank him enough!

He explains everything in a calm, easy-to-understand way and focuses on helping you teach your dog rather than just correcting behavior. Every time we met, we came away feeling more confident and capable. One of the best parts about working with him is the follow-up -- he sends these amazing session notes that break everything down step by step. Having that written out made such a difference for us when we were practicing between sessions. Our dog has come so far since then. He can actually relax when people come over, stays calm when cats are nearby, and barely reacts to the TV anymore. Even the resource guarding has improved so much. It's been incredible to see his progress, and we feel like we finally have the tools to keep building on it.
