Seven things you should ask as a dog owner seeking puppy training:

  • What is this person’s training philosophy and is it the best method for training puppies or adult dogs?

  • Will aversive dog training techniques be used or more humane reward-based methods?

  • Will my dog be yelled at or reprimanded for failures?

  • How will I be coached? Will it be client-centered?

  • Will concepts be explained patiently, five times over if I’m still confused?

  • Will I just be told what I want to hear or will the I learn the facts of the situation?

All of these questions are important to ask before choosing a dog trainer.

A Positive, Personalized Training Philosophy

at PJH Dog Training in NYC

My Training Philosophy

  • Do No Harm: My commitment to safety and a positive experience is unparalleled. Utilizing only proven, reward-based positive reinforcement techniques, I guarantee a humane, anxiety-free training environment as possible for your puppy or rescue dog. The best dog training is only achievable when supported by science-based techniques, consistency, patience, and kindness.

  • Honest Assessment: Benefit from an expert, transparent evaluation of your dog's behavior whether it’s an easy obedience case or more difficult to treat aggressive dog case. I tailor my training plans to meet your specific priorities, ensuring a personalized approach to dog obedience and behavior modification.

  • Direct Communication: I believe in compassionate, clear communication, enabling you to make well-informed decisions for your dog’s training and welfare. I don’t mind taking extra time to make sure you are comfortable with and understand all aspects of your dog’s training.

  • The Process: The brain is an amazing machine. The neuronal plasticity underlying learning and memory is astounding, but takes time. Failures are not to be reprimanded, rather celebrated, because the brain learns from mistakes. In fact, much learning occurs when there are mismatches between what is expected and what actually happens. So, if Fido doesn’t get it the first time, the learning might just be deeper and all the more robust!

  • Affordable Rates: I strive to make professional dog training services accessible to all, with competitive pricing that supports my mission to enhance the dog-owner relationship through effective, affordable dog training solutions.

  • Confidentiality: Trust in confidential, private dog training sessions. Your personal and pet information is safeguarded, ensuring privacy and security in our partnership.

Coaching Methodology

My dog training sessions are designed to be as enjoyable and enriching for you as they are for your canine companion.

  • Reward-based/positive reinforcement training techniques: By embracing positive reinforcement dog training, your pet will eagerly participate in learning, transforming each session into a fun, confidence-building activity.

  • Interactive coaching: This highly interactive approach necessitates that we work closely to insure you become an adept dog trainer in your own right! I will empower you with the skills to foster obedience, agility, and a strong bond with your dog.

  • Demonstrate patience and consistency: Even if you think the process isn’t working patience and day to day consistency is often the key to success. I’ll always be there to help troubleshoot the training process to keep you on track.
