Drop-in Day Training

Practicing training exercises with your dog is imperative for success, but we understand how busy modern day life is.  If you're short on time, or perhaps not making as much progress with your dog as you would like, we offer drop-in training Monday thru Friday during typical work hours.

 

Sessions are 45 minutes long and typically in your home or neighborhood while you're at work, running errands, or just getting stuff done around the house.  We can also incorporate physical exercise for your dog (walking, play, games, etc) into the session if needed. 

 

Drop-in sessions don't have a set time, but we will give you a two hour arrival window so you can plan accordingly.  We will also send you a video followibng each session so you can see what we worked on with your dog and how to practice each excercise.

 

A private session with you (and your family) is required before any drop-in training sessions can be purchased.  This ensures that we have a complete understanding of your training needs, and it ensures that you have the tools needed to work with your dog.  

3 PACK OF 45 MINUTE DROP-IN SESSIONS - $225*

5 PACK OF DROP-IN SESSIONS-$350*

Walking with Dogs

Playgroups and Socialization

No matter how much we play with our dogs, they still crave social interaction with their own species. Playgroups allow your dog to play off-leash with other dogs, and release more energy in a way that’s instinctive to them.  After an initial meet and greet with you and your dog, we will match your dog with nearby dogs that have a similar temperament, size, and play style. Your dog's entire interaction will be supervised by a professional trainer and held at a fenced-in location.  A video of every playgroup is provided, please check our social media to see recent playgroup videos. Proof of current vaccinations (including rabies and distemper/parvo) must be provided for every dog that participates in playgroups.  

Playgroups are a great option for:

  • Dog owners that aren’t comfortable exposing their dog to dog parks or dog daycares 

  • Dogs that need more exercise/stimulation than a dog walker typically provides 

  • Dog owners that don’t have a fenced in yard, and would like their dog to run and play off leash

  • Dog owners that want to give their dog exercise and playtime away from home during the day 

  • Dogs that are not spayed/neutered and therefore are unable to attend dog daycares

Playgroups are currently only open to dogs living in Peekskill, Montrose, Buchanan, Verplanck, & parts of Cortlandt Manor.  Please contact us for more details.

Our Wedding Pet Attendant services typically include:

  • Multiple phone and in-person consultations to go over event details and allow us to meet and get to know your dog(s).

  • An hour or more of off-leash play time to lower energy levels before "showtime."

  • Transporting your pup to and from the venue & photo locations.

  • Dressing your pup up or putting on any accessories for pictures.
