Are you looking for a dog trainer in Queens?

Dogs in Queens and other city dogs have different challenges and goals then dogs in other, more rural areas. We can help!

A well-behaved dog in Queens needs to know how to successfully navigate apartment hallways and lobbies, be friendly to deliverymen, bicyclists and joggers. Dogs in Queens often come in contact with many different dogs on daily walks (some not as well-trained as your dog will be!)

We can help with:

Separation Anxiety
Uncontrolled Barking
Leash Manners
Dog Aggression
Fear of Crowds
...and more! Just ask.

• Private One on One "In Home" Dog Obedience

For dogs that display undesirable behaviors in the home (counter surfing, running out the door, trying to eat the neighbor's cat) this program is the way to go.

• Board and Train (followed by private dog training in Queens, at your home)

Your dog will come and stay with us for two weeks. At the end of this phase your dog will know all the basic commands (Sit, Stay, Come, Heel, Down, Off, Leave it, and Place) both on leash and off leash. The dog will be trained 2-3 times every day, in the home, outside, near shopping centers, around other dogs, squirrels, people, cars, etc. We introduce the dog to as many different circumstances as possible. Between training sessions, your dog will have playtime, snacks, and walks. When the dog returns home, a trainer will give you the first follow up lesson in your home. Best Friend's Dog Training insists on the follow up training sessions to make the training long lasting and effective so the owners understand what to do.

A dog must be at least 4 months old to start training. Vaccines, including Bordatella are required for the Board and Train program.

Whether you are a client or just want to see how we work, come visit our group class in Queens. We meet Sunday mornings at 10am in Alley Pond Park. Local law requires all dogs to be leashed during this class. We are on the corner of Springfield Boulevard and 76th Avenue. There's plenty of parking and shade. Come join us! (Additional directions and map.)

Best Friend's Dog Training understands that telling someone to "do this" is not good enough. You need to understand why you are doing something.We know it takes some people longer then others to understand what is being taught. That's why we offer One Price for the Life of the Dog. We give free evaluations so you can ask us all the questions you want and there are no surprises.

When you work with Best Friend's Dog Training, you will never hit or yell at your dog. All attention getting techniques are done at very low levels and copious amounts of praise and love will be used to reinforce wanted behavior.

Unlike other trainers, Best Friend's Dog Training offers a team of trainers! What does that mean for you? No matter what your schedule or availability, we have a trainer that can work with you. Learn more about our staff.

Puppies have different needs and expectations then older dogs. The impressions we make on a pup will affect the pup for life, as such, we will teach puppies using positive only reinforcement and if you choose, clickers. We spend the time with you teaching what to do and what not to do.

We will actively teach topics in a five-week group setting such as housebreaking, crate training, socialization, teaching basic commands, and how to effectively communicate with the pup.

Breakfast with a few Best Friend's Dogs (and owners) on July 11th, Wantagh NY. Notice the untouched eggs, bacon, and french toast on plates in front of the dogs.
