SOK9T serves the following areas of Manhattan Westside North to W 96 St, Riverside to CPW — South to Houston St, Hudson River to 5th Ave. Eastside North to E 86 St, 5th Ave to 2nd Ave — South to 14 St, W B'way to 2nd AveIf you are out of our covered areas or from other boroughs, we would meet in Central Park West locations – 59 St, 72 St, or 96 St. A travel fee may be required if beyond the covered areas. Please note: My schedule at this time does not allow me to train on the east side of Manhattan or below 14th St. on the East Side. Most aggression, reactivity, or guarding issues, even in the home, are most effectively addressed in a different environment, mainly outdoors in Central Park West, where there are fenced-in areas when needed, always distractions, and many dogs/people to work around. *However, we will plan at least one in-home visit if any in-home unwanted behavioral issues persist. *Training in your home depends on your location.

Yes, I understand SOK9T has a specific area they cover. If you live outside that area or an outer borough, you can meet and train in Central Park West locations or purchase a FaceTime session — depending on your training needs.
As a Balanced Trainer, a good portion of my teaching uses positive reinforcement methods that include markers, motivation, food, and praise. But I also use training tools to communicate what I want from the dog. Once a dog knows a behavior and has trained using multiple reps and a lot of positive reinforcement, and doesn't do what is asked, or to help stop unwanted behavior, there needs to be a consequence. (Think, children, not doing their homework, it's a good chance you'll take their phone away for the day!) So the consequence for the dog may be a solid verbal No, body pressure, or leash correction. The tools I use may include slip leashes, prong collars, or e-collars, as well as toys, play, people, and other dogs for distraction and socialization.
