East Village, New York.

Our first location outside Texas — an indoor/outdoor two-story facility in the East Village, one block off First Avenue. Opened in 2025 in the former home of School For The Dogs, with a private enclosed yard for off-leash work and structured outdoor exposure. Built for city dogs who need the work done on the actual streets they live on.

Lasting behavior change starts here

Every dog is different — but the way dogs learn is the same. No matter your dog’s age, breed, or temperament, real behavior change is possible with the right protocol and the right trainer. Our programs at East Village are fully customizable and led by CPDT-KA certified trainers, built on a science-based, welfare-first methodology that works. From sidewalk reactivity to elevator chaos to apartment-life potty training, we help New York dog owners navigate the real challenges of city life with their dog. Explore our East Village programs below to find the one that fits your dog best.

Enrichment Day Care

Our Enrichment Day Care at East Village is built for city dogs who need structured days, not chaos with friends. Every day includes 1:1 enrichment training sessions, plenty of supervised socials, regular potty breaks in our private enclosed yard, and daily picture and video updates for parents.

Your dog spends the day at our indoor/outdoor two-story East Village facility, with structured time in the private yard for outdoor exposure. This isn’t open-floor daycare — it’s small cohorts, careful supervision, and real training woven into every day.

Puppy Kindergarten (Puppy-K)

The early months of your puppy’s life are the most important for training. Before 12 weeks of age, puppies are in their critical socialization window — the period when they learn the most and build the foundation for who they’ll become as an adult dog. This is when they develop a stable temperament, coping skills, and the communication skills they need to interact with the world with confidence.

Our Puppy Kindergarten (Puppy-K) Program at East Village gives puppies aged 8 to 12 weeks a safe, structured environment to start that work under the expertise of a CPDT-KA certified trainer. The focus is on socialization, communication, desensitization, kennel training, and potty training — everything they need to grow into a confident, well-adjusted NYC dog.

Group Classes

Our Group Classes give dog parents the skills they need to handle daily situations and challenges. Dogs and their parents attend these classes together at our East Village location, led by our CPDT-KA certified trainers.

Your dog will build confidence, learn better obedience, and improve their socialization — the everyday skills that make life with a city dog easier. We work on real-world skills your dog actually needs in New York: sidewalk manners, leash work in dense pedestrian traffic, and confidence around city stimuli.

1:1 Private Training

Our Private Lessons are great for targeting specific concerns and are completely tailored to your dog and your personal goals. Lessons take place in your home — with or without you present. Your presence is completely optional. Our CPDT-KA certified trainer spends about an hour with your dog, working on the exact behaviors you want to address: reactivity, leash pulling, fear, impulse control, separation distress, or anything else you’re navigating.

Lessons are sold individually or in 3-lesson packages.
