Paws for Thought Dog Training - New York, NY

At Paws for Thought Dog Training, we provide training services tailored to you and your dog. We prioritize a dog-first mentality by identifying what aspects of a dog’s environment, genetic predisposition, and temperament will play a role in determining long-term success. We also account for each human’s unique priorities, capabilities, and lifestyles. Through this lens, we are able to create behavior solutions and training plans that move the human-dog team towards success.

We provide reward-based training services that are guided by the latest scientific evidence. We adhere to LIMA (least intrusive, minimally aversive) and force-free principles. This means that we do not use ‘aversives’ or ‘corrections’- techniques that cause fear, pain, and frustration in dogs. Our goal is to educate clients and provide them with the stepping stones for behavior change so that clients can walk away from our training experience empowered to continue on their own.
