NYC can be a tough environment for dogs, and there is nobody better at giving them the tools they need to navigate the chaos than Justin. We initially went to Justin to help train managing reactivity and work on leash walking skills. We saw immediate results and continued to work with Justin to improve upon those concepts while expanding beyond it. Justin is easy to work with and clearly has a passion for all dogs. No need to look for another trainer, go with Justin.

Several years ago, we rescued a 65-pound black Labrador Retriever, which was initially presented as an easy and low-maintenance pet. However, upon arrival, the dog exhibited extreme agitation and behavioral issues. Fortunately, we found Justin, who not only successfully redirected our dog’s behavior but also provided us with a deeper understanding of the underlying causes of these behaviors. We would have returned the dog had it not been for Justin’s expertise and assistance. His skills have proven invaluable in addressing the dog’s challenges. We highly recommend him to anyone in need of assistance with their pet’s behavior/training. His skills have been critical in improving the well-being of our dog and happiness in our home.

Justin has the gift. My 85 pound dogo becomes a slobbering, love struck slave around him. He really made a difference. Appreciate him.

Justin was the trainer for my dog Leon many years ago and became a friend. He's the best... a good human who truly wants the best for all dogs, big or small. He gets the job done quickly, and he's funny too. :)

At first I was very nervous to bring my puppy Gary to training because he can be very nervous and scared of other people. However, Justin showed nothing but love and care for Gary and I. I don’t know what it is about Justin but Gary loves him, and Gary and I love working with Justin! Justin literally speaks the “language of dogs” because Gary and I both leave with a new set of skills, discipline and still get to have fun in the meantime. Justin is so kind, funny and truly cares for all animals especially pitties and I have done nothing but recommend him 100x over. TAKE YOUR DOG TO LANGUAGE OF DOGS!!!! You will not regret it 🫶
