Using a structured, relationship-based approach to create calm, confident dogs ready for a Brooklyn lifestyle.
How we do it
-
We create a close relationship with our dogs based on trust and predictability - so that when they encounter new situations, they know they can rely on us to get them through it.
-
Dogs thrive on structure - eat, rest, work, play, repeat. When dogs have a stable routine, their behavior becomes stable as well.
-
Dogs learn in two ways: rewards and pressure. By taking advantage of a balanced approach that combines both of these languages, we teach dogs both what behaviors we want and what behaviors we don’t want.
