Puppy Training Long Island
Our puppy training program is designed to provide puppies with a strong foundation in obedience training and socialization skills. During the program, puppies will learn basic obedience commands such as sit, stay, come, and down, as well as walking on a leash and potty training. They will also be introduced to new people, places, and other animals in a safe and positive environment to help build their socialization skills. The program is tailored to the specific needs and temperament of each puppy, and owners will be given guidance on how to continue training and socialization at home. The goal of this program is to set puppies up for success in their future as well-behaved and well-adjusted adult dogs.

Leash Manners
The leash manners program is a dog training program that focuses on teaching dogs how to walk calmly and obediently on a leash. During this program, dogs will learn to walk at their owner's pace, follow basic commands such as sit, stay and heel, and refrain from pulling or lunging on the leash. The goal of this program is to improve the dog's behavior on walks, increase their obedience and responsiveness to their owner's commands, and ultimately create a more enjoyable and safer walking experience for both the dog and their owner.

Behavioral Issues Training Long Island
The adult behavior program is a dog training program designed to improve the overall behavior of adult dogs through obedience training. During this program, dogs will learn basic obedience commands such as sit, stay, come, and heel, and will also work on more advanced behaviors like walking calmly on a leash and polite greeting of people and other dogs. The program is tailored to the individual needs of each dog, with the goal of improving their overall obedience, responsiveness, and cooperation with their owner. By focusing on obedience training, the program aims to create a stronger bond between the dog and their owner, improve the dog's behavior both at home and in public, and ultimately create a happier and more harmonious relationship between the dog and their family.

Reactivity Dog Training
The reactivity package is a specialized dog training program designed to help dogs with reactivity issues. Reactivity refers to a dog's overreaction to certain stimuli such as other dogs, people, or objects. The reactivity package focuses on identifying the triggers that cause the dog to react and using positive reinforcement training techniques to change the dog's emotional response to those triggers. During the program, the dog will learn to remain calm in the presence of their triggers, and their owner will learn how to manage their dog's behavior in real-world situations. The goal of this program is to reduce the dog's reactivity, improve their behavior and overall quality of life, and increase their owner's confidence in managing their dog's behavior.

Canine Good Citizens
Our Canine Good Citizen training program is designed to prepare dogs and their owners for the CGC Certification test. The Canine Good Citizen test is a 10-skill test that teaches good manners to dogs and responsible dog ownership to their owners. The program is open to all dogs, purebred and mixed breed, with no age limits. By training in CGC, dogs and their owners will deepen their bond and become a more connected team. Dogs will learn basic obedience skills such as sit, down, and stay, and will become more confident and well-behaved in public settings. Additionally, the CGC title is a prerequisite for many therapy dog certifications and is a great introduction to more advanced dog sports and activities. Being CGC certified can also serve as a reference for daycare, boarding, apartments, air travel, and working with our CGC-certified trainers at Dan’s Pet Care.

My name is Stephanie Weinberg, and training dogs has been my passion since I was 12 years old. After I saw the success in my family dog that was “untrainable” I realized what path I needed to choose. I have my certification from PetSmart, where I spent several years conducting Group and Individual training sessions anywhere from Beginner to Experienced levels. I continued to practice and evolve my training skills through personal, one-on-one training sessions where I have helped clients to solve issues of leash reactivity and aggression. I have a big place in my heart for dogs that have special needs such as blindness or deafness. I am a strong believer in the statement that any dog can be trained with patience, direction and commitment. My focus of training is to build a personalized training program through positive reinforcement to help develop and build upon the relationship between a human and their dog. A relationship built through communication and clear boundaries is the foundation to a clear understanding between the owner and the pet. I will teach you how to understand each other’s language and to carry forth the building blocks to a strong relationship.

Hi! My name is Kurt Sommer and I would love to train your dog! My passion for dog training was sparked many years ago when I had the opportunity to foster the quintessential “Bad Pitbull”. It quickly became clear that his aggressive behavior was not sustainable, so I took him in for some private lessons. After a few weeks of obedience training he was a completely different dog. Seeing the change that can be made in a dog by providing them with structure, boundaries and clear communication was absolutely life changing for myself and the dog. I now love the opportunity to work with dogs who have behavioral issues.
I have been professionally working in the dog business in one way or another since 2018, starting in a doggy daycare and moving up to training facilities. I received my Dog Behaviorist Certification in 2019 and have been training ever since. From Italian Greyhounds to Caucasian Shepherds, I have worked with them all!
My>My training philosophy is based on using obedience training to be a leader and an advocate for your dog. I believe every dog is a unique individual with a unique set or requirements that will make them successful in life. I will work with you and your dog to facilitate a strong bond, clear communication and most importantly, fun!
