I took Thor to Dan Gentile Dog Training in August after I adopted Thor from the Shelter. He is so loveable but out-of-control from a pretty tough start to life. He was too much for living in NYC with all of the triggers. Mallory and her team worked with him and truly gave him a second start. He is doing so well and happy and has structure. I cannot thank you all enough!!

I heard about Dan Gentile and his training program through my brother. I had my dig Maximus for three years … and he recently had been having poor behavior. He was not listening to me when I said “no” and pulled on walks. During his time, Maximus learned to sit, stay, heel, lay down, come…’land so much more. He listens to me and we have an even stronger and loving bond. I so appreciate the time the trainers gave me making sure I am continuing with the proper training at home. Being a teacher, I totally understand the need of practice and now I have “homework”. My Maximus is such a love bug and I couldn’t thank Dan and his team enough! Turns out … you CAN teach an old dog new tricks!

I would leave NO STARS for this place, my young German Shepherd almost lost her digits on her paws because of this cruel person, the head of the animal hospital said she was dragged and it was obvious to him due to her injuries. Stay away!

I would just like to leave my positive review on Dan Gentile. I just came across someone saying negative things. I brought my 1st dog to Dan 24yrs ago. She was a yellow lab we were getting married at the time and going on our honeymoon we researched trainers our Vet recommended this facility. Our dog was a loving pup but she was a lab and definitely needed training. Dan was excellent went throughly over everything. I remember that day my husband had picked up Casey as I was working and he called me to say don’t be upset when you see Casey I thought Why?? Because she was a totally different dog so you kind of feel bad but let me tell you it was the best money we’ve ever spent the dog was so well behaved and one of the Best behaved dog we’ve ever had. We also had another dog we sent years later same experience. I have been recommending him for the last 24yrs!! So I would just like to say someone is not in business for this many years because they “abuse “ dogs. And who else gives you a lifetime commitment that you can bring the dog back at any time for a refresher. Thanks again just wanted to add my opinion

For 20 years we've been sending our dogs to Dan and his trainers. We just got our latest family member back after a 2 week session and we couldn't be more satisfied. Thanks once again, we now have a well behaved 8 month old pup. / Toni On New York says THANK YOU!
