When Dobbs Ferry Owners Usually Reach Out

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 Aqueduct Trail and through downtown Dobbs Ferry.
