NYC Dog Training Reviews
Our puppy was a handful—jumping on everyone, pulling on leash, zero impulse control. After six weeks of private training with PJH, he's a completely different dog. The positive reinforcement approach clicked with him immediately and the in-home sessions made it so convenient.
We tried two other trainers for our reactive dog before finding PJH. The Reactive Resilience Therapy™ approach was completely different—our dog went from lunging at every dog on the street to being able to walk calmly past triggers. Worth every penny.
We signed up for agility classes on a whim and it's become our favorite weekly activity. Our dog's confidence has skyrocketed and the skills have carried over to everything—better focus on walks, calmer in the apartment. The trainers are incredible.
Dog Training Services in NYC — Frequently Asked Questions
Start by choosing a consultation or selecting a program that fits your needs. Private training, puppy training, training walks, and reactive or aggressive behavior cases begin with a consultation so we can assess your dog and build a personalized plan. Group programs like agility, scent work, adolescent obedience, and puppy socialization allow direct enrollment. If you are unsure which option is right, we’ll help you compare training programs and recommend the best path for your dog.
Our trainer has a background in neuroscience, which shapes every program we offer. Rather than relying on obedience drills alone, we design training around how your dog's brain processes stress, learns new behaviors, and builds emotional resilience. This neuroscience-based approach produces deeper, longer-lasting results—especially for reactive, anxious, or fearful dogs.
Private sessions are fully customized to your dog’s needs and goals. Training may focus on obedience, leash behavior, anxiety, barking, potty training, or other behavioral concerns, with a structured plan developed after your consultation.
Yes. We specialize in structured, science-based training for dogs experiencing fear, reactivity, or aggression, with programs designed to build confidence, improve handling, and create long-term behavioral change.
Puppies can begin socialization classes as early as they've had their initial round of vaccinations—typically around 8–12 weeks. Our puppy training program covers foundation obedience, impulse control, and confidence-building through positive reinforcement. Starting early helps prevent behavior problems before they develop.
No prior experience is needed. Our agility program starts at the beginner level and progresses through structured levels. Agility builds confidence, body awareness, and focus—it's a great mental and physical workout for dogs of all breeds and ages, and it strengthens the bond between you and your dog.
Scent work, also called nose work, lets your dog use their natural scenting ability in a structured, rewarding format. It's an excellent confidence-builder and mental enrichment activity—especially beneficial for anxious, reactive, or high-energy dogs who need a focused outlet. No prerequisites required; dogs of any age or skill level can participate.
All sessions—private and group—are 60 minutes. For private training, your trainer comes to your home or meets you in your neighborhood. Group classes meet at select NYC locations. Every session includes hands-on practice, trainer guidance, and takeaway exercises so you can reinforce skills between sessions.
Pricing depends on the program and level of support needed. We offer a range of affordable dog training options, including single sessions, multi-session packages, and group classes. Visit our pricing page for current rates.
It depends on your dog’s needs. Private training is best for behavior challenges and personalized goals, while group classes are ideal for socialization, enrichment, and foundational skills. Many clients benefit from both. If you are unsure, we can help you compare options and choose the right fit.
