How long is the training
Depends on your goals & where your pup is at. The consultation is key. My boy was in camp for two weeks. They're fantastic. Worth a look.
Community answer · Angie H · 2019-09-21
It's usually three weeks

I have a 6 month old American Bully Dog and would like help training her, can you help?
This is not an official forum for this business, thus is just a place for other Google map users to help each other out. You can contact them either through the phone number or email listed on their website. But I used them for my 5 year old pitbull and they did a good job of training her to be a better behaved dog.
Community answer · evan kay · 2018-09-21
Yes, they would be able to train her. :)

Stay away from this place. You have amateurs acting like experts and the facility is very dirty. Boarding a dog in the neighborhood is dangerous. I saw marijuana bags right outside the office. Prices are extremely high and you will get very little for your money. There are alternatives. Very poor experience. Was given terrible advice about my two dogs which was incorrect according to the vet and two other trainers. Don’t waste your time and money.
I was very lucky to have Instict recommended to me for training. They are absolute professionals and extremely good at what they do. Max can be difficult with strangers but loves being boarded at Instinct which is a testament to how well he's cared for.

They are the best. My puppy, Gigi, was very skittish and nervous walking the streets of NYC. We started with obedience training with Mari who was great with obedience training and also started to address the anxiety issue. But my puppy was a tough challenge and addressing her anxiety was very difficult. Enter Brian Burton, the co-owner, into the picture and he is an an animal behavior specialist. Every session yielded progress even if only on video and not in person. He is amazingly caring, knowledgeable and excellent at what he does. Within five weeks my little Gigi's anxiety is gone and she walks next to me perfectly and thanks to Brian I have learned to communicate with her thru the leash when walking so it has become a breeze to have her do what I want. Every penny I spent was worth it!!!
I love what they do for the neighborhood, but as someone who lives in the surrounding buildings, the constant barking happening early morning and just throughout the day is downright awful. I understand having to train them to be okay outside, but its annoying hearing that every day. It would be better if they do it at a time when no one is home rather than hours where people are waking up.
