Manners and Obedience Training Services
Manners are for every dog
Changes you can see and feel
Treat your dog to a life of fun, freedom, and enjoyment. Give yourself a dog who is easy to live and communicate with. By training your dog to listen to cues and have manners in everyday situations, you are giving them the gift of inclusion. You can include them in events and experiences they might otherwise miss out on. You will feel more confident and will become a better dog-parent.
We can also help you if you are not happy with your relationship with your dog. Feel like they don’t like you? Or they don’t respect you? Are they stubborn or dominate? We help every dog:
- The ball-obsessed
- The sniff-obsessed
- The people-obsessed
- The dog-obsessed
- The jumping dog
- The pulling on leash dog
- The stubborn dog
- The dominant dog
- The unhappy dog

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, of course we can! Send an email to info@leashandlearnnyc.com or book a free 15-minute phone call, and we will help you figure out what you need.
Training is always a team effort, and our goal is to work with you as a team to solve your problems and overcome challenges. No matter which approach you take, we can get you where you want to be. It is important to us that once training has finished you have learned the skills you need to work with your dog. So there will always be things for you to practice and exercises and games for you to reinforce.
Unfortunately, we are not service dog trainers, and we do not offer any type of certification for your dog. However, if you are interested in your dog becoming a therapy dog we can help you teach your dog the skills they need to ace their test! If you are unsure of the difference between a service dog and a therapy dog read more here.
We do not offer board and train, but when appropriate we will come to your house 3 times per week to train your dog for you. Then we teach you your dog’s new skills during transfer sessions every week or two. You are kept up to date with their progress through notes and pictures in their training logs.
