I cannot say enough positive words about Dominik and the impact he has had on my 8 month old puppy,…read morein addition to making me feel more confident and comfortable as a dog owner! My dog had severe separation anxiety - in 3 sessions, Dominik was able to teach her how to maintain a calm presence and self-soothe. I am now able to leave my puppy home alone and my life is truly better as a result. Additionally, Dominik taught my dog how to walk properly on a leash (no pulling, no stopping unless I allow her to, etc.) as well as key lessons such as recall, "out", "leave it", "sit", "stay". While I'm thrilled that we've had so much success in such a short period of time, I'm legitimately going to miss working with Dominik! He is truly the best - look no further for an amazing trainer.

First and foremost, look no further. I contacted approximately 6 people and immediately knew I…read morewanted Dominick to work with my adorable, dramatic, 3 year old Shiba Inu, Todd. Book your appointments early! He books up quick (he's that great). He is also very personale which is a huge plus. During our consultation he immediately told me that three sessions would be the best package based off of the information I told him. I appreciated his honesty and he the fact he did not try to upsell me. During the first 10/15 minutes of meeting our pup, he provided his diagnosis. Not only that, he taught us something that corrected one of his behaviors before the end of the session. His first session was December 2020. We followed the instructions from the first session until his second session in February 2021. At first the appointments being spread out concerned us but, as soon as he came over, it was seamless and we picked up where we left off. He taught us more techniques and made it clear he was available for any questions until the next session. He implemented effective changes that were easy to teach and transferrable in addressing different behaviors. Todd completed his final session this month and the overall differences are notable. He addressed hand shyness, when company comes over, leash and collar changes, better obedience (shibas are stubborn), walking techniques, reactions/reinforcements, as well as better play techniques. I have already recommended him to a friend. Book him, you won't regret it!

I tried reaching out to so many "famous" and well reputable trainers…read morebased on recommendations and most were either always busy, ridiculously expensive or didn't even provide their services in Queens. I'm so glad that none of the other trainers worked out, because this led me to awesome Yuruani at Dog Liberty LLC. Yuruani is very professional, kind and knowledgeable when it comes to working with dogs. She asked many questions about my dog prior to coming over and we decided to start with the 4 class, in home training package. As soon as she met my 2 years old Pit mix Simba, she knew what needed to be done. She is very caring and attentive and knew how to point Simba to do the right things. I was surprised as to how quick and how well Simba responded to Yuriani. She was also very patient when Simba didn't respond well or gave up. Yuriani is also available for any questions and very flexible when it comes to setting up future sessions. She listened to all the issues I had and we worked on whatever we could during our 4 sessions. It's been a year since Yuri helped us, and I've been able to use everything that she taught me to turn Simba into a better dog. Although there are many things we still need to improve because Simba is a little slow (I still love him). Most importantly, Yuri has taught me ways of understanding and communicating with my dog which I believe is the most important. I highly recommend Yuriani if you are looking for a kind, patient, and knowledgeable dog trainer.

YURI IS AMAZING!!!…read more It is my pleasure to recommend Yuri and Dog Liberty Dog Training Service. We adopted Rosco, a three year old rescue, back in August 2014. He is a great dog but we realized that he was not completely socialized and he needed some training to help him get use to his new home. While walking through our neighborhood, we saw a very well behaved dog and asked their owner about his great skills. They said they used Yuri and that she had worked miracles with her dog. As soon as we got home, we called Yuri. She came over and met us and Rosco. She really asked detailed questions and worked with Rosco for an hour to see what his needs would be. She developed a comprehensive plan and our weekly sessions began. She also gave us a discount for rescuing a dog - which was unexpected but greatly appreciated. Rosco took to Yuri right away and also responded very quickly to training. He responded so quickly that even Yuri calls him Einstein (ok a little parental bragging here). As we went through our sessions, we quickly realized that there were other needs for Rosco and we were able to change and adjust his plan accordingly. Yuri even got her husband involved when Rosco needed to adjust to being around men. He came over with multiple outfits and disguises just to help Rosco get used to being around. On Rosco's last session, they brought him a framed diploma and took pictures of the proud graduate. We hang his diploma with pride Yuri made herself 100% available to us via email, text or phone. She answered any questions we had. She also recommended a great dog walker for us that we use regularly. She also teaches group classes that we regularly attend to also help with Rosco's socialization - he's doing great and we really do owe Yuri so much. She has an easy going, approachable demeanor. She has an abundant love of dogs. She is very smart and is a great yet adaptable trainer. Your dog will be in great hands with Yuri.

I am so happy I found Never Alone Pets!! My catsitter fell through last minute for a weekend trip…read morelast week and Dami was a lifesaver. She responded to my initial email request from their site pretty quickly and then was SUPER responsive. She came on a really short notice to meet my two cats and grab a set of my keys and I felt comfortable after meeting her - she's super friendly and nice and seems to really love cats. I had her come twice over the weekend to feed and play with them (and do some light litterbox cleaning) and she could not have been better! Each visit was $25 all in and she keeps you updated with texts and photos and even videos. It was really nice to see my cats in action while I was missing them and see how well taken care of they were. Dami even cleaned and washed their food bowls without being asked! She was super personable and a huge animal lover and I'll definitely be using her for future cat sitting visits :)

Jojo is very experienced helping dogs and their owners and his experience really shows. He comes to you and the visits never felt rushed he always gave us and Maui the time we needed to learn and answered any and all questions we had. My favorite part was we actually went for a walk into the neighborhood further then the front of the house to work on everyday distractions on a walk. I definitely recommend him for any issues big or small that you may have with your dog.

Norma was very accommodating and promptly found someone to take care of my puppy as I had to go to…read morethe doctor. Her name is Cynde and she is the sweetest! I would definitely ask for her as the sitter or walker whenever I need them again. The reason I'm giving them 3 stars is for not offering to at least give us a discount after our dog ingested hard pieces of plastic while in their daycare with Norma. He came home and started to vomit right away and after the 3rd time he did it, I decided to take him to his vet to see if his intestines were clear - if not, his life could have been in danger. I'm glad that at least he vomited them all as seen in an x-Ray and he only needed to take some tablets for his upset stomach. I also understand that we can get distracted while taking care of a puppy, but I didn't like the fact that I spent +$300 due to someone else's distraction and wasn't offered anything to compensate it somehow and rebuild my trust. I expected more than a follow up over text.

A true animal lover, she has a natural love of dogs that is apparent the minute you see her with your pet (... she lets ours lick her face... I don't even do that ). I often feel like I'm giving my dog a treat when I book Norma for a walk or boarding, as I feel like she loves on him harder than even we are able to as his dog-parents. To boot, she is deadly reliable and professional, taking her business extremely seriously. Would wholeheartedly recommend her!!!

I adopted a dog who was being fostered by Elena. My dog was living with Elena for close to 6…read moremonths, which means she was heavily involved in Happy Tails Pet Care daily group dog walks. Elena was able to transform Goose through daily group dog walking, trips to the park, and training. This particular dog was returned to the shelter after being adopted out as a puppy, her family could not handle the amount of energy that she had. Before living with Elena, she had also been through a few fosters as well. Elena was able to completely transform Goose and make her into an adoptable dog. Elena understands dogs, and more importantly what each individual dog needs to remain happy in life. Elena's attention to detail is exemplified in her notes and videos that she sent me when I first adopted Goose. Elena taught her a bunch of tricks and important commands ("stay" being one of them). All of the work, time, and energy she put into Goose made the transition into my home flawless. If you are thinking about hiring a dog walker or getting your dog into a pack walk then call Happy Tails. Pack walks or group walks for dogs have been shown to have many benefits. Experiencing new smells is very important for dogs and has been proven to have a natural calming effect. Group walks also allow dogs to engage in natural pack behavior. Dogs also learn a lot by watching other dogs, (dogs can help other dogs by displaying calming signals) so getting your dog into an already established pack walk can help your dog develop important social skills. Happy Tails will give you reliable, professional care for your dog. Don't let your dog sit at home all day while you are at work, hire a professional and skilled dog walker like Elena!
