Metro Dog Training

Kris guided me and my lab, Buchi, from the first month I got him. She was patient, clear, and upfront with all the training. I appreciated her willingness to be upfront and show me what I would do wrong, how to fix, and importantly to understand how to instill specific behaviors. She was always punctual and willing catered to my convenience. Through my 10 one on one lessons I can say I built a solid foundation for training my boy. He isn’t perfect, but to have learned from her guidance has helped me truly set strong principles in how I raise my now 1 year old pup. She even took him herself as I relocated and helped me set expectations and prepared for his move to Hong Kong. We are now out of NYC, but I still practice the methods I got from Metro. Wish we could get back to NYC for more- definitely will if we move back home! Highly recommend this team if you’re looking for “obtainable/solid foundation” training, they don’t baby your dog, but teach you how to get the best out of them through mutual respect.

It was an absolute pleasure working with Twahlee and we've seen a tremendous improvement in our 1.5 year old hound mix, Lily. Prior to training Lily had a hard time listening, always distracted by other dogs and tantalizing scents. The consistent training methods definitely helped, she is much more engaged and listens quite well now. We’ve seen progress with all commands, sit, laydown, heel, and most importantly, the recall command. The group classes were a great compliment to the 1:1 sessions. It was very valuable having a safe environment with other dogs/ distractions to practice her new skills and with professional help. I’d highly recommend Twahlee and Metro Dog Training.
