PJH Dog Training

About

This New York City dog training practice offers comprehensive behavioral services designed specifically for urban pet ownership challenges. Led by a certified professional dog trainer with a PhD in behavioral neuroscience, the business specializes in science-based, force-free training methods that address the unique demands of city living. Services include puppy training, reactive dog support, in-home private sessions, group classes, agility training, and nose work programs. The practice focuses heavily on helping dogs navigate common NYC scenarios such as narrow sidewalks, crowded elevators, busy lobbies, and high-stimulation street environments. Training sessions take place both in clients' homes and neighborhoods, allowing dogs to practice skills where they actually encounter daily challenges. The business offers specialized programs for reactive dogs who struggle with triggers like other dogs, people, sounds, or crowded spaces. Located on the Upper West Side, the trainer emphasizes practical coaching that accounts for the realities of apartment living and urban dog ownership. Additional services include agility training for confidence building and scent work classes that provide mental stimulation, with programs tailored for dogs of all experience levels and behavioral needs.
