FirstBarkRobert is amazing. Somehow, he is both the most intuitive, relaxed, and easy-going dog trainer we’ve ever worked with, AND the one who has gotten us the most positive results, in the shortest time. Our dog is already happier in his home after we just had two sessions with him! I can’t recommend highly enough.

My daughter adopted a German Shepherd pup who is now about 10 months old. The pup is friendly and enthusiastic but expresses herself by chewing on people's hands. Some people respond negatively to the dog. What can my daughter about this?
Hi Elizabeth, Thanks for reaching out to Dogboy NYC! Nipping and attention-seeking can be typical puppy behavior that pups generally outgrow. It sounds like your daughter and her pup could benefit from some puppy training sessions to work on obedience and manners skills. We would be happy to help! We offer online training sessions and in-home puppy training sessions and packages.

Dogboy is the best. Rob and his team really plug in to your pup and how they best respond to training and positive reinforcement. Always available for questions, and very responsive. We’ve relied on Dogboy for obedience training and refresher courses for more than 15 years and two energetic fur babies. We can bring our dogs everywhere because of their expertise and care.

I’ve had a wonderful experience working with Robert at Dogboy! My dog Polly struggles with resource aggression and a few other behavioral issues, and after just two in-home sessions I already feel much more confident and prepared. Robert comes to each session with thoughtful, practical exercises and proactive management techniques that are easy to understand and apply in real life. He’s incredibly generous with his time—he talked me through strategies over the phone outside of our scheduled session when I needed advice on a particular situation. With his guidance and support, I feel far more equipped to handle Polly’s behavior, and I’m so appreciative of his patience and knowledge.
We chose Robert as our puppy trainer based on another recommendation, and we couldn’t be more grateful for his help! We have tackled basic puppy training, separation distress, and now moving into baby prep. He’s a wonderful resource, incredibly knowledgeable and kind. Highly recommend.

I have worked with Robert at Dogboy for our two dogs- 9 years apart and cannot recommend enough. He is incredibly helpful at getting to the root of dog’s quirks and helps us teach our dogs along the way. I so very much appreciate that he helps with training your dog to be able to live in New York City and understands that they have different needs with city life. Anytime I have a friend get a new dog, I recommend them to Robert and Dogboy NYC.
