Be Present. Play with your dog.
“You can be your dog’s best friend! Take the time to be present. Learn to enjoy your time with your dog. In the process, you and your dog will learn everything you need to know to be well-mannered, socially-acceptable members of this wondrous human society that we call home.”
— Amanda Gagnon, MS, CDBC, CCPDT

We have been devoted members of the New York City community for more than fifteen years!
We are passionate, dedicated dog training and behavior consultant professionals who will stop at nothing to ensure that you get the very best instruction available.
We do this for the fun and the love. We think it’s contagious. We aim to ensure that you feel heartened and fulfilled in the process of learning and playing with your dog.
We’ve been featured on Fox, CBS, GMA, Inside Edition, Dogster, Newsweek, and many more (and we immediately apologize for this obligatory self-aggrandizement).

“Amanda Gagnon Dog Training ROCKS!”
“Amanda didn’t just give us slightly improved dogs, she gave us the tools to keep making progress with them forever.”
“An amazing dog trainer isn’t just good with dogs—she’s also good with people. And Amanda is great with both. She’s completely confident and knowledgeable without being condescending; she’s upfront without being pushy. Most importantly, she absolutely knows and loves what she’s doing, and she does it with a great sense of humor. ”
