    Phoebe finally learns how to sleep in her crate with the door closed during the day.
    Harry P.

    Leah has been a thoughtful and very practical trainer who has displayed a lot of patience with my wife and me as we welcomed our Basenji puppy (Phoebe) into our apartment in the City. How is Leah different? Firstly, Leah is continuously temporarily training young puppies for foster parents to subsequently adopt them, so she knows the challenges wide breeds of young pups present. Secondly, Leah has an adult Basenji (Archer), which is widely known as one of the hardest breeds to train. Leah is very compassionate for humans and dogs, yet she also carefully preaches discipline and consistency to get training results. There is no other way for Phoebe to have been crate-trained otherwise, even though we almost gave up! Although we tried different trainers and techniques I can confidently say that Leah's advice and training helped us the most with our beautifully and lovingly stubborn Phoebe. THANK YOU, LEAH!

    Leah has played such an important and essential role when it came to being first time dog parents! She is extremely knowledgeable, always taking the time to answer questions during and outside of our training sessions. She is always keeping up to date on training methods in order to best help her clients. We really appreciate her flexibility when it comes to virtual and in person sessions. This has allowed us to work on so many different areas of behavior and has given us so much confidence to be the best dog parents possible. Most of all, we love that Leah has provided us with so many skills to make sure that Zoey is happy, safe, and overall a good girl! We are forever grateful for Leah and so is Zoey (no one loves Leah more than Zoey!!!)

I chatted with him for a few minutes and he generously shared his thoughts and tips about the competitive business of dog walking when I asked him for that advice. It was a great conversation and I felt strangely compelled in that moment to write this review and snap a pic to capture the moment. Thanks for the chat, Addison. I believe any Chelsea or Hell's Kitchen dog would be lucky to have you as their walker!

I had had a dog walker who was super unreliable (cancelled on me last minute, lost my keys twice), whose boss nickel and dimed me for everything, without taking any responsibility for any of their wrongdoings. Addison is extremely reliable and communicative. He walks Molly in her group five days a week while I'm at work. I was hesitant about her walking in a group before, but he never walks too many dogs at once, and brings his helper if needed. He sends me plenty of photos, and it's clear that she's having a blast! He really learns their personalities and tells me how she's progressing on her walks and in the group. You can tell that he cares for each individual dog so much! What a relief when I'm away at work every day.

Most special thanks to my husband who pays monthly trupanion insurance fee. The insurance was very good and coveted 15,000 out of 17,000 bill. Blue pearl accepts trupanion. Trupanion always comes through in emergencies!!! Other insurances are not as readily accepted and the patient's family has to lay out money at the time of service. This hospital called 2 to 3 times a day with loving updates. I called in the middle of the night and special thanks for nurse Erica for calming me down. My husband and I are anxious pet parents.

I appreciate how upfront they were with what was needed and the cost and that their priority was seeing that Tucker received the care he needed.

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!

Before starting our sessions, I was struggling with an over-excited Golden Retriever puppy. I had reached a point where I was losing hope, but Warren completely helped me regain my patience. His calm, expert approach changed the dynamic almost immediately. What sets this training apart is how manageable it is. Warren's training methods are intuitive, and his super detailed recap emails were a total game-changer. They made it incredibly easy to practice on my own between sessions, ensuring that we never lost momentum. Training didn't feel like a chore, and because Warren's methods actually work, it was super rewarding. Ultimately, I feel like I have a totally new dog and an infinitely stronger bond with her. I cannot thank Warren enough for his help. If you want a trainer who truly cares and delivers real results, Warren is your guy!

A few people had recommended Shelby Semel so we decided to give it a try and were SO incredibly lucky enough to be matched with Genevieve. I have never worked with a trainer so knowledgable about dog behavior. While other trainers in the past were rigid and just used the same, standard techniques that don't work for highly reactive and anxious dogs, Gen took the time to get to know and understand our dog and provided insight into his behavior. What I appreciated most is that she was always realistic with us and our training sessions/goals never felt idealistic or unattainable. Rather, we truly focused on little steps and management which also completely shifted our own perspective on how we should be engaging with our dog going forward. Gen worked with us through a huge move, the birth of our first child, and the introduction of our nanny and we credit all of our success to her. Even outside of sessions she checks in with texts to see how things are going and genuinely cares about the progress of your dog. If you want someone who will actually take the time to understand your individual circumstances/pet and will truly work with you on creating the right plan with realistic and actionable goals, I can't recommend Gen enough.
