Service dogs, trained for New York.
Your dog learns on real subway platforms, in packed elevators and on loud sidewalks, so the skills are ready when you need them.
How we train
Four stops to public access.
Every team follows the same line. How fast you ride it depends on your dog and your needs.
Foundation
Name response, loose-leash walking and settling, built first in your own apartment.
Weeks 1–4Task training
Retrieving, door opening, deep pressure, alerting or guiding, matched to your disability.
Weeks 5–12City work
Subways, buses, crosswalks, busy stores and elevators, at rush hour and at quiet hours.
Weeks 13–20Public access
Test preparation and handler coaching, because the dog is only half of the team.
Weeks 21+Built for the city
If it works here, it works anywhere.
New York is the hardest classroom there is. We use it on purpose.
Platforms and cars
Gaps, screeching brakes, and tight cars at 8 a.m.
Sidewalks and stores
Strollers, scooters, strangers who want to pet.
Elevators and lobbies
Small spaces, slick floors, and doormen.
Sirens and street work
Calm, focused behavior with the city turned up.
Programs

About
A trainer who knows the A train.
I’ve trained dogs in New York for over a decade. I know what a service dog faces here: a packed car, a narrow vestibule, a stranger reaching for the vest.
I use positive, reward-based methods, and I’ll tell you early if your dog isn’t suited to this work.
