We’re so excited to partner with for our SOLD OUT regional event, “High Arousal and Reactivity in the Urban Environment” this April!

Reactivity in city environments can be overwhelming, but we’ve spent the last 15 years working closely with NYC dogs and their humans—and we’re so excited to share our experience with other dog care experts.

My heart is so full when I look at this picture of fine friends. Fifteen YEARS of helping dogs and their humans, making friends and family, learning and evolving. Sometimes I feel like the luckiest girl alive. Thank you to everyone past and present who has made this company the heart-forward, ethically conscious, fun and beautiful community that it is today.

We’ve been saying “consent” in dog training for years, but the meaning has shifted recently in our culture. Amanda questions our meaning in this issue of The Chronicle of the Dog.

"I might stand up and confront the miscreant. How dare she! A series of ritualized displays of aggression might ensue, wherein she postures and asserts her right to drink what she will, and I scowl aggressively and demand that she learn the social rules of order."

We offer top of the line dog training all over Manhattan. We are committed to bringing you the best behavioral wellness programs available and we go above and beyond to ensure that all dogs who come through our doors are treated with loving care, and cutting edge training techniques.
