Welcome to New Paltz Dog Training & Canine Adventures
Dog Training for Heart and Soul - Human Canine Relationship Counselor.
​
New Paltz Dog Training & Canine Adventures is a benefit corporation. Our mission is community service funded by dog training. We will be minimizing client costs during the coronavirus emergency to provide daycare, socialuzation school, stay & train, and boarding care for those who need it for their dogs and stimulating activities for families to do with their dogs and children at home.
We are happy to share with our clients old and new that we will have remote/online training options available during the coronavirus emergency.
We continue to take dogs in for dayschool for those who must work, social development of puppies, stay & train, and anyone negatively impacted by the coronavirus who needs care for their dogs. We are using a sliding scale pricing for those in need of animal care with limited resources during this difficult time.
We have implemented stringent infection control policies to protect your families and our staff for all drive thru drop off and pickup of dayschool, stay & train, and boarding dogs. Please contact us for details. Thank you.
The relationship between an animal and its owner is a unique connection. With New Paltz Dog Training & Canine Adventures, we will custom build a unique program to provide personal solutions for canine behavior issues as well as traditional private and group training classes.
My proven techniques and unique approach have helped pet owners across the country train animals just like yours.
