When Ardsley Owners Usually Reach Out

Most families that find us are tired of being embarrassed by barking, jumping, lunging, or pulling. They've tried YouTube videos and group classes, sometimes more than once, and the dog is still out of control. They're worried the behavior is getting worse with age, not better — and they want a calmer dog at home and a reliable one in public, especially on walks along the South County Trailway and through downtown Ardsley.
