FirstBarkThey do a fantastic job of offering training programs as well as boarding. We like it because they have a nice outdoor space so the dogs aren’t stuck inside all the time. Completely trust then with our dog

How long is the training
Depends on your goals & where your pup is at. The consultation is key. My boy was in camp for two weeks. They're fantastic. Worth a look.
Community answer · Angie H · 2019-09-21
It's usually three weeks

I have a 6 month old American Bully Dog and would like help training her, can you help?
This is not an official forum for this business, thus is just a place for other Google map users to help each other out. You can contact them either through the phone number or email listed on their website. But I used them for my 5 year old pitbull and they did a good job of training her to be a better behaved dog.
Community answer · evan kay · 2018-09-21
Yes, they would be able to train her. :)

Instinct has been a life changer for my dog and me. We have a senior dog (14 y/o) who has always been active towards other dogs, and at this stage, we figured it was too late to even try, and figured walking would continue to be a chore. We moved into Manhattan, and decided to give some sort of training a try. We met with Jessica and purchased 6 hours of training. Our dog picked up on the strategies and skills much quicker than we thought, and just continued to grow each time we went. Jessica and Instinct have changed the rest of our time with our dog for the better, and it is so important to know that older dogs can still learn new things!
Lovely boarding facility
My hysterically reactive, ever-pulling rescue dog is now one of the better-behaved dogs wherever we go.

My hysterically reactive, ever-pulling rescue dog is now one of the better-behaved dogs wherever we go. He is still afraid of other pups, but I can always distract him with a treat, and he doesn't pull at the leash excessively anymore. After one week at camp, plus several at-home lessons with Kelley, my life -- and 100x over, my dog's life -- is greatly improved. THANK YOU Instinct, Jessica, and Kelley!! This place isn't cheap, but I tried working with multiple trainers before them -- believe me, it's worth paying the first time.
Wouldn’t just answer a question about dog training - wanted me to do a 45 minute online assessment before a call. How dumb. If you answer my question then I can decide if I want to do a long online survey. I didn’t do it and didn’t talk with anyone. Assbackwards system
