Don’t let your dog be part of this lineup.

Bond with your buddy while setting him up for success through our puppy socials, obedience classes and special seminars.

Training is an excellent way to bond with your dog while developing him into a well-adjusted, well-socialized member of urban society. We encourage owners to invest in their dog’s future with obedience training. Although it is critical to start training as puppies, you CAN teach an old dog new tricks! We offer group classes in our store or private lessons in the comfort of your own home and at your own pace.

Our basic training philosophy is rooted in practical, humane and scientifically sound techniques to promote healthy leadership for owners. In addition to the variety of group classes and seminars offered, we specialize in solving problem behaviors like jumping, begging, barking, etc.

Robert Haussmann is a Certified Professional Dog Trainer- Knowledge Assessed (CPDT-KA) and a professional member of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers (APDT). He formed Dogboy Inc. in 2005 and works professionally as a dog trainer and behavior consultant serving NYC. Robert’s training philosophy reflects his belief that while most dog owners have the best of intentions, they often lack important information about how dogs learn and perceive the world around them. These miscommunications can lead to behavioral problems that range from nuisance behaviors like inappropriate barking or jumping, to severe behaviors like aggression issues or separation anxiety — reasons why perfectly normal dogs end up in an overcrowded shelter system.

Robert is passionate about teaching owners to work with their dogs as a team. Each training program is tailored to the individual needs of each dog and their owners. Using humane, practical, scientifically sound techniques Robert promotes healthy leadership for owners. This aids in developing a common language from which a strong, healthy, balanced, fulfilling relationship is built.

Robert’s mission is to improve the lives and relationships of dogs and owners through hands-on education and personal attention. He provides one on one training sessions with dogs and families in their home, as well as group classes.
