Marty has been such a gem! He taught us all the tools we needed to work with Theo. In each session, he would not only explain what to should do but demonstrate HOW and EXPLAIN the methodology behind it. From the basic commands to leash walking, I'm literally so freaking grateful cuz I don't think we could have done it on our own tbh lol We've learned so much and Theo is so well trained and behaved. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a great trainer!

We've only done 1 session (virtual, mind you) and I'm already seeing immense progress. Martin was very thorough and answered all of my questions (all 8 billion of them) with clarity and simplicity. Which made it so easy for me to incorporate into my one-on-one sessions with Lionel. If this is what Martin can help folks accomplish virtually, I can only imagine how much you'll be able to do with in person classes. if you're looking for someone to change your pup's life for the better, go with Martin!!!

If you're looking for a dog walking service, you've found the best with Not The Rug. Not only are…read moreLuis and his team extremely professional, communicative, and kind people - they take great pictures and give updates that will brighten your day. We've had our dog Dandy use Not The Rug since he was a puppy. With walks, the app they use shows you the routes they go on, plus they'll give you an update as to what happened on each walk. Dandy not only loves the social aspect of seeing his walker and the dogs, but the exercise tuckers him out so if we're not home he's happy to nap in his crate upon returning. Had Dandy been less social, Not The Rug would work to make sure he still had a great experience. They get to know you and your dog to ensure that walks are safe and fun, regardless of temperament or additional needs. I can't say enough good things about Not The Rug!

He was going to be left home alone overnight unless I found someone to take him in. I posted in a local Facebook group in a panic, and Devin reached out almost immediately and welcomed my dog into their home. From the very beginning, they went above and beyond to put me at ease, proactively sharing their business information, reviews, ID, and certifications. They sent updates and photos throughout the night, and it was obvious my dog was being treated like one of their own. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I feel incredibly lucky that Devin saw my post that night, and I wouldn't hesitate to trust them with my dog again. Highly recommend!

From the…read moreget go a thorough history and questions about behavior concerns was taken, and upon meeting it was very clear that all of that information was well reviewed prior to meeting my dogs. Robert is very personable and never made me feel like I had messed up my dog's training (or lack thereof) previously, or that I was a bad owner for that (like some trainers can). He immediately began working with them and me, thoroughly explaining the why behind everything we did/will do to address their behavior concerns. I really enjoy that his approach is based in ABA and operant/classical conditioning instead of dominance/alpha methods. After just two session, we have had our first real loose leash walks, the barking at the doorbell has decreased and we have a plan in place to continue to eliminate it that is progressing well so far! And one of my dogs has finally learned "stay" for the first time. Our first session, there was a cancellation due to a snowstorm, and they were very communicative and had my session rescheduled within the next 2 days! I'm really looking forward to continuing to work with Robert and DogBoy NYC!

I'm being generous with four stars because Eddie really did help our anxious Mini Aussie Kaia when…read moreshe stayed with him for a modified board and train. And his training skills are good, though he practices a more balanced training method than we would normally like. However-- and this is why we removed a star-- he is so busy that he can be inconsistent with being reached. When you're with him, he does give a lot of love and care, but there have been several instances of miscommunication when we were trying to set up training where we confirmed the day before about a training session and because we didn't confirm AGAIN the day of-- he didn't show up and thought our session was cancelled. I also wish he just booked our next appointment right at the end of session, but I think his partner organises everything. Because of this, and maybe this was due to the pandemic: we were sort of forced out of necessity (he wasn't answering emails or text messages) to switch to another trainer. I would recommend Eddie with the caveat that you'll have to be on top of him when it comes to scheduling. Again, he does good work and that should be noted. He just doesn't communicate as efficiently as we like. Maybe it's because his business is growing, and maybe taking too many clients at once (I don't want to assume,) but it got to be too much for us and we had to look elsewhere. Hoping others have better experiences.

That same day, I called him to set up our first training appointment, and he was more than happy to accomodate me on such short notice, with a first training session that same night. Little Penny did so well learning her first command!! Eddie was friendly, knowledgable, caring, and professional from the start of our first conversation. He went above and beyond in providing me and my family with a ton of tips for caring for our new furever friend, and was consistently punctual and reliable with both our training dates and for her daily walks. As someone who really new nothing about caring for a new puppy, from crate training recommendations, being there for me via text for sudden walking/training swaps, or questions on raising a new pup, I couldn't have done the first few months without him. I trusted Eddie with my precious little girl up to 5 days a week sometimes, and for boarding and training. I highly recommend his trainings as she and I both learned a ton that we still implement. He REALLY cares for the dogs he walks and honestly, he just LOVES dogs period.

He came over to meet me and Rizzo and he was great with her since she is a shy, stand offish shihtzu who was found roaming the streets alone. He has been walking her 4x a week now and always leaves notes so I know how she did and what she did on the walks! He is extremely flexible and will add or drop walks when needed. He also has some great co-workers who are also so professional and trustworthy. Phyllis came and took care of Rizzo and my cats when Dave was away and she was great. Dave is willing to go beyond the dog walk too - he also feeds my cats dinner two times a week so they aren't starved by the time I arrive home! He is an all around professional, kind man who is dedicated to his company.

He's now a playful little dog, ready to walk (most of the time) and to have fun with other dogs. As much as I'd like to take credit for his progress, I think Dave and our dog walker Phyllis have much more to do with it. Phyllis is a great dog walker. Her love for animals is obvious. She helped us get Ferdinand ready to walk with other dogs, always leaves detailed feedback if Ferdinand is more anxious than usual. She was a great support as we also welcomed our third son back home, advising us on how to behave with Ferdinand, and sharing some very helpful kid friendly videos for my two older kids so they learn to play safely with Ferdinand. Ferdinand is now very well adjusted to our family, and us to him. We feel very fortunate to have found Dave's Dog Duty to help us transition from a family with two children and no pets, to a family of three children and a dog.

We had a reactive dog name Athena, that Joanna was so good with. She also took care of our older pitbull Tyson while he was healthy and, during his last year, while he was going through treatment for his bladder cancer, Joanna didn't just take care of our dogs, she takes incredible, amazing care, putting her whole heart into it. It's so evident that she loves what she does and how much that puts us at ease. With Tyson, once he was sick, Joanna put him at ease, went at his pace and was so incredibly attuned to his needs. When he passed Joanna was there for US! Her caring and empathy means so much to me! We loved Joanna already and didn't even know we could love her even more. We adopted a puppy and Bella felt comfortable right away with Joanna. Like most puppies, Bella is still learning the ropes. She's also getting used to living in the city.

It's great knowing that when we can't be home to walk him he's spending time with someone he feels really comfortable with. Recommended unreservedly.
