Justin is a phenomenal trainer! He’s able to understand our dog’s personality so easily and how to properly train him. We came to LoD because our dog became reactive outside after puppyhood and were able to correct it with just 5 sessions through the proper tools and gear. This also gave us the freedom to walk more freely on leash and gave our pup the ability to walk off leash too! Justin and LOD set you up for success and give you the tools you need to continue training and have a great relationship with your dog even after your sessions are over.

If you are serious about training your dog and willing to put in the work required, Justin is your man. He loves every dog that he works with and truly cares about their success and wellbeing. He helped me train my dog with an e-collar so that I feel safe and confident when taking her off leash. I know if I ever have a question or need further help, he is there for me. Highly recommend!

Justin has been an amazing help for me and my dog. In just three training sessions we went over all the basics and reached the point where I could walk my dog confidently off leash. He offers long sessions (as long as the dog can handle) and has a very easy to understand way of teaching. I personally felt much more comfortable after the three sessions, not just with my dog but any dog because I learned so much. I'm now fostering another dog and I was able to teach her so many things based off of what Justing taught me. Even so, she has a lot of trauma and anxiety so I took her to Justin eventually. Ever since, her confidence has gone up enormously and she is much more calm.
Highly recommend him!

Best instructor period! Justin knows more about dogs then anyone I know and is super reliable. I was worried about our dog before having a baby and he was reassuring, he taught us many valuable things. He is available to chat if you're freaking out and your dog will love him and he makes everything look easy! 10/10 would recommend!

Justin is fantastic. He’s just as much of a human trainer as he is a phenomenal dog trainer. He has helped both my dog and myself gain the confidence and structure we both need for trusted, long term teamwork. #1 in NYC!
