Dogboy NYC

Jenny is an absolutely incredible trainer and we couldn't recommend her more highly. She worked with us to train our mini doxie puppy and helped us lay a strong training foundation - from basic commands to helping with breed-specific challenges like minimizing reactivity. Her training helped ensure we're raising a confident, happy pup. She was also available to help as issues arose like regression in sleep training, etc.

Our 6-year old Cocker Spaniel mix, Millie Mo, hasn’t always been the greatest at leash training, but it was getting worse when her urge to chase squirrels – darting in front of us whenever she’d see one – would trip us up. Just an hour of Robert’s training, though, worked wonders. Robert showed us how to start with the basics, using treats to remind Millie that we are a team. Robert was able to break down training concepts with useful examples and analogies that didn’t make us feel incompetent or uncomfortable when putting them into action with Millie. Our session with Robert was a great reminder that it’s not only our furry companion that needs training, but we do too!

We are so grateful to have discovered Dogboy!! We have been working with Rob on training our puppy for the past few months and he has been an invaluable resource and source of support! She is our first puppy and Rob's deep knowledge and experience has been an absolute guiding light for us! Training sessions with Rob have been amazing because he gets to know your dog and your specific household and routine, and works directly on customized goals and concerns that you might have with your pup. He also makes really helpful suggestions on general training and useful behaviors to work on and points you to resources on anything you might need to learn more about. He also uses parts of training sessions to help teach us how to train her better at home as well or continue practicing what she has learned more effectively. Rob has also been so generous with his time for questions, concerns, and general tips even between training sessions to support us as she grows and we encounter new things!! We couldn't recommend him and Dogboy more highly.

We cannot say enough wonderful things about DOGBOY NYC and its founder, Robert Haussmann. We have known and worked with Rob for over 15 years, and he has trained both our very first dog, Maddy, and now our new boy, Travis (who turns two in January). Rob is, quite simply, the very best. Rob has an incredible ability to understand dogs and their people. His training is thoughtful, effective, and grounded in real-life situations. He offers excellent group classes—everything from puppy school to agility—and they are always well-structured, supportive, and fun. Beyond classes, what truly sets Rob apart is his commitment to his clients. He makes himself available by phone and text, and he genuinely cares about how things are going once you’re back home with your dog. Another standout is Rob’s follow-up. He sends clear, specific training videos that reinforce what you’ve learned and help guide both you and your pup between sessions. Those resources have been invaluable to us over the years. And a huge shout-out to Rob’s wife, Kim Haussmann, who is also fantastic. Kim handles scheduling and billing seamlessly, and she is always kind, responsive, and genuinely loving toward both clients and dogs. DOGBOY NYC isn’t just dog training—it’s a long-term partnership built on trust, expertise, and heart. We feel incredibly lucky to have worked with Rob and Kim for so many years, and we recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking for exceptional dog training.
