What Our Clients Have to Say:
“What a difference a session with Maddie makes! Remarkably, I saw progress within the first session and found her instructions easy to practice to get my 19-month-old Bernedoodle to behave better. She came recommended by our vet and I understand why.”

What Our Clients Have to Say:
“If you're looking for someone who will teach you how to walk your dogs with choke collars, and instill fear and discipline in your pooch, then Maddie is not for you.
She is compassionate, tremendously caring, and understanding of dogs of all temperaments. Focused on detail and positive training methods, follow her guidance and you (and your dog) will overcome your issues.”

Why do we encourage clients to book a package to start?
We want you to get the most out of the training experience and we have a wealth of information we want to impart to you!
For dogs with behavior problems, we will take a detailed account of things like their history, daily schedule, their health, and their previous training experience.
Encouraging new clients to purchase a package from the beginning ensures that we are able to provide you with continued assistance and progress toward your training goals.
What if we want to book more sessions?
You’re already thinking ahead and we love it! Most of our clients who have dogs undergoing behavior modification will need to book several sessions in order to address their dogs’ behavioral challenges.
Follow-Ups can be purchased ad hoc for $175.
Will you train my dog for me?
Yes! That’s why we created our Homeschool packages for clients in Manhattan.
During Homeschool sessions, a trainer comes to your home and trains your dog for you. What’s not to love about that?!
Not all dogs are going to be a good fit for Homeschool sessions. Your trainer will discuss the option with you and guide you toward the best training plan for your dog.
