He was organized, friendly, and very communicative about every aspect of caring for my dog. His walkers are trustworthy and true dog lovers.

I highly recommend Napoleon to anyone that wants the best care for their dogs!

Brooklyn Family Dog Walker is the best dog walking company my girlfriend, and I have found. We…read moretried a good number of Dog Walking companies. Each Dog Walking company we tried continued to let us down after a routine checkup with our veterinarian. Our veterinarian recommended us Brooklyn Family Dog Walker. My girlfriend and I figured we would give our vet's reco a try. Our vet was right; Brooklyn Family Dog Walker did not disappoint. Brooklyn Family Dog Walker started walking our dog when we lived in Bed-Stuy/Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, and now walks our dog at our new apartment in Ridgewood, Queens. Brooklyn Family Dog Walker is super transparent and self-aware. We could not be happier with the affordable, convenient, and reliable service Brooklyn Family Dog Walker provides. The daily walks help with our dog's separation anxiety and never ending energy. I highly recommend you allow your doggy to be truly spoiled.

Ruby recently came home from a country vacation with Maria and Doug, and I can't recommend them…read morehighly enough. Ruby has significant separation anxiety, so leaving her is always stressful for us. From the moment she arrived, Maria and Doug made her feel completely at home. They kept us updated with lots of photos--especially sweet snuggle pictures--which gave us so much peace of mind. It was obvious that Ruby was receiving not just great care, but genuine love and attention. The biggest testament to their care was when Ruby came home. She was calm, happy, and relaxed, which is incredibly unusual after we've been away. Knowing she was able to feel safe and comfortable despite her anxiety means the world to us. Thank you, Maria and Doug, for treating Ruby like family. We wouldn't hesitate to leave her with you again.

We highly and confidently recommend Mike and BK Paws & Play…read more We've worked with Mike consistently since 2021 and he has been absolutely instrumental in our journey with our rescue, Goose. At 40lbs, anxious, and leash-reactive, Goose wasn't the easiest first pup for us to raise together. Since he is an athletic, medium-sized dog, we needed someone with the confidence and experience to handle his size, triggers, and reactivity. Mike was that person. Through years of consistent weekday and occasional weekend walks, Mike helped Goose socialize safely on solo and 'pack' walks. Knowing that Mike has worked with many of the same dogs and owners in the neighborhood for years really speaks to how much he is trusted with our four-legged family members. Because of Mike, we understand Goose so much more now. Our relationship is full of trust and, honestly, way more fun. The daily photos and updates were incredibly reassuring, but Mike's support went far beyond walking. Over the past year, he provided refresher training that significantly strengthened Goose's obedience and our own communication skills. Most recently, when we moved to a new neighborhood, Mike went above and beyond by coming over for a two-hour session to help us introduce Goose to our new home, giving us the personalized advice we needed to get off on the right foot. We're sad that we're unable to work with Mike regularly, but we're already looking forward to his occasional dog park hangouts so Goose can reunite with his friends. If you have a 'difficult,' anxious, or larger rescue dog and want a professional who truly understands them, Mike is the person you want in your corner.

Mike is the real deal -- and if you're a dog owner in Brooklyn who takes your pup's wellbeing…read moreseriously, stop searching and book him now. We've been using Mike for regular dog walking, and from day one the difference was obvious. He's everything you want in a walker: consistent, communicative (we actually know what's happening on every single walk), and -- most importantly -- genuinely dog-obsessed in the best way possible. You can tell this isn't just a job for him. He cares deeply about creating a safe, secure, and enriching environment for every dog in his care. Max and Nora always comes home happy and tired in the best way. But the real game-changer for us was the dog training. We came in with two dogs and behavioral issues we honestly thought were just... who they were. Things we had quietly accepted as permanent. Within a short period of working with Mike, those issues shifted -- almost instantly. The progress was nothing short of life-changing. His approach is calm, methodical, and clearly rooted in a deep understanding of dog behavior. He doesn't just correct problems; he helps you understand the "why" behind them, which means the changes actually stick. It's rare to find someone who combines professional-grade training skills with the kind of warmth and dedication that makes you feel like your dogs are in genuinely good hands. Mike is that person. We're so grateful we found him.

From the basic commands to leash walking, I'm literally so freaking grateful cuz I don't think we could have done it on our own tbh lol We've learned so much and Theo is so well trained and behaved.

My dog contracted kennel cough at Brooklyn Dog Training Center (Doggie Academy) and they refused to…read moreprovide a partial refund for the class he missed after getting sick. They wanted me to come to the class without my dog and leave him home alone sick. The facility is very dirty and run down and the owner acted very unprofessionally with regard to the entire situation. Owner is a total liar. She never spoke to my vet, she contacted my vet's office via email and asked a hypothetical question about whether a dog showing symptoms the next day would have contacted it at her facility so they responded accordingly. Yet my specific dog did not show symptoms the next day, he showed symptoms a few days later. Sarah is being sneaky and deceptive in order to get them to provide a response in writing so Doggie Academy can avoid any legal liability. My actual vet will be writing a letter confirming that my dog did most likely contract kennel cough at Doggie Academy. Would not recommend, absolute con artists and putting many dogs health in jeopardy by not notifying their clients that their facility has kennel cough.

Interesting that this is their first review…read more My wife and I brought our 3 month old puppy for their puppy socialization class last Friday. We left before the class was over. If you can imagine how Park Slope parents are with their kids, you can figure out how they are with their puppies. Although I am fine with people babying their puppies (not really but it's your dog), if the trainer is correcting the human issues, which she wasn't. 3 examples. 1) There was a puppy there that was showing aggression and dominance. (A lot of low toned growling, biting, not nipping, and when taken away was very aggressive towards its owners with biting and growling. The trainer didn't remove that dog from the group and didn't try to correct the owner's handling of the dog. The owners were definitely new owners and had no clue what they were doing. Which is fine but puppy socialization classes are for the owners as much as the puppies. 2) Our puppy is very well socialized. It doesn't have any problems with any dogs or humans, including in this class. Later in the class a very nervous and timid terrier came in. It was hiding under chairs and in the corners with its tail between its legs. My puppy went over to it and tried to play with it, Chased it around and, admittedly, prob tried a little too hard to play with the new puppy (which is how some dogs will react to that kind of energy from another dog). But instead of trying to help the timid, nervous puppy, the trainer took our dog out of the area and proceeded to say "if there is anyone who played with *name of our dog* nicely and wants to have their dog in his area...". Needless to say it wound up being every dog in with our puppy and the timid terrier and an aggressive, very small, puppy by themselves. 3) Our puppy, probably 75% of the time, when playing with other dogs, is the first one to go on its back and show belly. If anyone knows anything about dogs, this is a sign of submission, AND you know that puppies play by nipping and "mouthing". So, he was playing with another puppy, was on his back, and mouth was open (not even nipping at this point). Another dog was on top of him and the owner of that dog was saying "Too much teeth, I'm seeing too much teeth. I can't handle it" and pulls her puppy away from our dog. The trainer, right there, once again doesn't correct the owner's behavior. Overall, there was a very tense energy in the room. There were too many puppies for the space and the trainer was either overwhelmed, burnt out, or both, which led to the owners being nervous and tense, which led to the puppies feeling and feeding off of that energy. It wasn't a good situation and definitely encouraged the nervous aggressive dogs to be nervous and aggressive. Lastly, don't call the puppies "your kids" to the owners. This gives the mentally of them being our babies and treating them as human babies. They are puppies and need to be treated as puppies or that's when you get older dogs with aggressive and protective issues. I gave 2 stars because I like that they are doing this but they need to figure it out. Maybe do it more often so you don't have every puppy in the area going in the one day a month. We go to Wag Club every monday for puppy socialization and it is relaxed and fun for both the puppies and owners. They correct any puppy issues (the actual cause) and teach the owners how to deal with the issues.

A True Gem in Cobble Hill!…read more Leaving our dog Sadie for the first time while going abroad was incredibly nerve-wracking. She's our baby, and the thought of being away from her for so long had my husband and me both anxious. Thankfully, we found Canine Corner, and from the moment we walked in, we knew she was in loving, capable hands. The team at Canine Corner went above and beyond to make us feel at ease. They were kind, patient, and completely understanding of how hard it is to leave your pup behind. Every update we got while we were away reassured us that Sadie was having an amazing time -- and judging by how she pulls us toward their door every time we walk by, I think it's safe to say she had a blast! I especially want to thank Lucas, who truly went the extra mile for us. We were stuck in terrible traffic on our way back into the city and were panicked we wouldn't make it in time to pick up Sadie before closing. Lucas kindly stayed a bit past closing this past Sunday just so we could reunite with her -- and I can't express how much that meant to us. That kind of care and thoughtfulness is rare. We're absolutely thrilled with our experience and will continue to recommend Canine Corner to everyone we know in the neighborhood and beyond. Thank you again to Lucas and the entire team for treating Sadie like one of your own! -- A very grateful Cobble Hill dog mom

We can always count on Khamara to show up when scheduled, they've always been reliable and very responsible.

When Penny was scared in reaction to the change of having Giancarlo substitute walk for Khamara, Giancarlo was so great with taking notes from our trainer to ease the transition and get Penny more comfortable and calm. I would absolutely recommend entrusting your pups to these folks for daily walking needs. They are insured and scheduling Wales is very easy.
