Wag the Dog NYC--Urban Dog Training

We had an amazing experience working with Inna to train our dog, Bear, who is dog-selective and overly cautious. From the start, Inna provided us with a thoughtful toolkit of training tactics, showing incredible patience and expertise throughout the process. She was always available to answer miscellaneous questions along the way and had so many great insights and recommendations tailored to Bear’s needs. Bear began this journey apprehensive of people and other dogs, but thanks to Inna’s guidance, he has made incredible progress—he can now be comfortably walked by strangers and remains much calmer around other dogs. I will absolutely continue working with her and highly recommend her to any dog parent looking for a knowledgeable and compassionate trainer!

I recently worked with Inna to help my dog adjust to life in New York City, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. My dog had a lot of anxiety after our move—he was terrified of leaving the apartment due to all the noise, people, and constant stimulation. What made Inna’s approach so special is that she came to my home to work with my dog in his environment, rather than requiring us to visit a training facility. This personalized, in-home approach was exactly what we needed. She took the time to understand my dog's specific triggers and created a step-by-step training plan to help him become more comfortable and confident outdoors. Inna was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and kind throughout the entire process. Her calm and reassuring demeanor put both my dog and me at ease, and her techniques were easy to follow and implement. I also appreciated how she tailored her approach to my dog's unique needs, ensuring that the training was effective without overwhelming him. Thanks to Inna, my dog is making noticeable progress and is starting to enjoy walks and his surroundings again. If you’re looking for a trainer who truly cares about your dog and offers a personalized approach, I highly recommend Inna!

I got my rescue dog, Truffles back in May. Overall he was an amazing pup but once he was settled in, he started suffering from separation anxiety. He would bark nonstop when I left the apartment so my rescue organization recommended Inna. Inna helped guide me through a long process to help Truffles become more comfortable being alone. She was very patient and even though his progress was slow in the beginning, I just trusted the process. After about two months, he was finally ok with being alone for 10+ minutes which was a huge deal. Each day we add a little more time. Inna also answered lots of other questions not related to separation anxiety such as leash pulling/minor aggression. She was always happy to answer any little question I had about Truffles which I appreciated.
