Hustle Pups NYC

Kelly and everyone at Hustle Pups completely changed the trajectory of our dog Rudy's life. He was a feisty shelter dog and returned from Board & Train with the same zest for life but an understanding that his owners were in charge. We received almost daily photo/video updates and were given everything we could need at pick up. Rudy is much happier and loves his Hustle Pups friends, he was very excited to go back for regular boarding and to see Kelly at follow up sessions. Kelly is amazing to work with. She's funny, kind, and she deeply cares about the dogs. We still text her updates months after picking him up. If you are looking for a dog trainer, Kelly is 100% the person I would go to, as we've already recommended her to friends and strangers alike. And if you're going out of town for multiple weeks like we were or just want a strong training foundation for your dog, the Hustle Pups Board & Train program is amazing!

Cannot recommend Hustle Pups more highly! I sent my dog Emi to their Board and Train program for four weeks. I am incredibly impressed with the overall progress she made and how much happier of a dog she is. The results really were more than I imagined possible in 4 weeks. Aside from the excellent training she received, I really appreciated how communicative everyone was throughout the process. I was very nervous to leave my dog in a place she didn’t know but Hustle Pups was in constant communication providing updates and sending pics and videos. I knew she was in good hands and happy, which made me feel so secure in my decision to board her. I will continue to rely on Hustle Pups for boarding in the future and feel confident my dog will be really well taken care of whenever she is with Hustle Pups, which is a huge relief to have that kind of resource in the city.

If you are reading the other glowing reviews here and thinking "can HustlePups really be this great?" the answer is YES! Kelly, Kate, Zach and the rest of the HustlePups team are amazing humans who work wonders with the pups in their care. Our 2-year old mini-Aussie was very fearful of the city streets and was increasingly reactive to scary sights/sounds. We had tried other trainers who left us feeling desperate and wondering if Navy could live in the city. The HustlePups team was undaunted, and after 4 weeks in board and train, he's now able to walk right past the buses and trucks that used to have him crawling for the door. In addition to training our pup, the HustlePups team empowered us to be confident handlers and continue his training once he came home. Do yourself a favor and stop looking -- HustlePups is the best training around.
