About

Positively Balanced Training® – Results Starting From Day One!

“Your dog will be treated with the same care, love, and respect I treat my own.” SB
(The Best Dog Trainer & Behavioral Services in Manhattan, NYC)

My Commitment to You. Woof, Woof.

We offer personalized training methods that allow you to work effectively with your dog. Once your dog's needs are assessed, we use positive and negative reinforcement training methods, resulting in a well-trained companion starting from day one.

Behavioral Modification & Obedience Training. Get a Grrrrrrip!

We will teach you how to train your dog, from obedience commands to the most effective ways of handling unwanted behaviors. Whether you've had trainers who didn't get the results you wanted and were told to "shelter your dog" or is "beyond help," contact us and get it done right. Let's put an end to pulling or lunging on the leash, jumping up, counter-surfing, barking at the door, separation anxiety, and aggression toward other dogs or humans.
