Online or Virtual Training

Virtual training can be scheduled during the day or evening. This can be a great supplement to private lessons,  day training or board and train and a great way to stay connected if time or distance is an issue. We also recommend a pre puppy FaceTime or Zoom call to get ready for your puppies arrival so you know what to expect when getting a new puppy. Live virtual lessons with your trainer are $65 per 1/2 hr. $125 per hour.

Board and Train

Depending on availability this program is open to clients enrolled in a training package with us or who have finished a package with us. Board and Train is a great option for busy professionals or for your next vacation. We’ll work intensively every day with your dog for 2-4 weeks, then work together to transfer the training over to you. While living in a trainer’s home, your dog will be trained and socialized with other dogs. Your dog will learn manners and become a confident, well-behaved pet you can be proud of. We are passionate about helping you and your dog succeed, and each training program is customized to your specific needs. During your dog’s stay, we’ll send videos and updates to keep you informed and relaxed while you’re away from your best friend. We also include a video at the end of your dog’s stay so you can follow through with the training once they are home. $2750 for 2 weeks and each additional week is $1,000.

Day Training

A great option for busy professionals, Doggy Day School provides customized training for your dog or puppy up to five days a week. We also offer expert owner support so you can reinforce each lesson on your own.

ABOUT DAY SCHOOL

Day training is a great option for anyone who just needs a little extra help with training. While you’re at work, we’ll work with your dog 1 hour per day, 3-5 times per week, based on a program customized on your individual dogs needs. All day training happens in and around your home environment, where many problems originate. Day training is less stressful than boarding at a kennel, meaning learning can be much faster and transfer back into home life easier.
We’ve found day training is far more effective once we get the owners involved, so at the end of the week we’ll meet with you to go over the training. During these sessions, we’ll teach you how to incorporate the lessons your dog has learned and also coach you on your handling. We film each training session with your dog so you can duplicate the training even when we are finished with our lessons.

The cost for Day Training is $1700. We only offer this service in Brooklyn.

This program includes a total of 13 lessons. 10 lessons with the trainer and your dog and 3 owner follow up lessons to transfer the training over to you. The cost is $1700.

Group classes

We are starting a Reliable Recall class in Prospect Park starting April 29th at 9:00 am. Please click the Book button in the menu above to register.

Puppy Training

Training starts the first day you bring your puppy home from crate training and housebreaking to correcting nipping and biting to teaching basic manners and commands. Puppy training is the foundation on which you continue to build. Our puppy training is designed to create wonderful, lasting relationships between dogs and owners that can last a lifetime. We believe in early socialization, and encourage you and your puppy to attend puppy class as well as private lessons to set you and your puppy up for success. Learning the most effective tools to communicate with your puppy can be the difference between a lasting healthy relationship or one that is stressful. Lessons take place in and around your home unless otherwise specified by you or your trainer.

With our puppy, Dani was the perfect balance of kind and firm. More notable, however, is [her] ability to train people to care for dogs. Upon adopting Edie, we were utterly overwhelmed. With Dani's cultivation we became confident, calm, and consistent dog handlers.

Emily Knowlton & Edie

When our rescue dog arrived in Brooklyn he was scared of everything. Working with Dani gave him the confidence he needed to become a happy dog and a wonderful pet. She even taught us some fun tricks that he still enjoys when he wants to show off.

Laura Shackelford, Jonathan Roberts, & Blue

Dani is an excellent trainer with a deeply intuitive sense of the relationship between owner and dog. She’s able to progressively build on small success after small success in the training process until you’ve arrived at an excellently trained dog. I highly recommend her.
