Testimonials

“I sent my puppy, Charli, to Dedicated Dog Training for a two week Board & Train. James did a great job with her. From the beginning even before I sent her away, James was great communicating with me and was very helpful and responsive. He even came to me to meet Charli before agreeing to a Board & Train to make sure she was a good fit. When she came back home, she seemed more responsive to commands, better with loose leash walking and generally just well mannered. We had 3 follow-up lessons after she returned home so we were able to reinforce the things she learned. James also gave me tips and guidance so I can keep the training going. I could tell from the beginning that James has a love for dogs and takes pride in his work. I definitely recommend Dedicated Dog Training to anyone looking for a solid training foundation for their dog.”

“We did it! My pup Maxx, a black lab mix, is now trained to walk beside me like a gentleman. There’s no stress for me, on walking him. He listens to every command I say. We accomplished everything I ever wanted from dog training. From the moment that I met James, I knew we were in good hands. He was patient and my pup listened to him 100%, from day one! Besides nicely walking alongside of me, he also doesn’t jump on people or counters anymore. He taught Maxx several other things like stay in a spot, and walk away. That I think we need a bit more practice, but I know Maxx will ace it one day. James did training both inside and outside the house. I also told James, that I will continue from time to time to call him for refresher classes or to work on the stay in one spot. I am sure there are more things that Maxx can learn and James is the best person to teach him. James is also very accommodating to your schedule. He makes it work all the time. Thank you for everything James. You are truly the best!”

“I recently had the pleasure of working with James (Dedicated Dog Training) to train my puppy, Jet, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! James was incredibly professional from the moment we started, making the entire training experience enjoyable and putting our minds at ease. His great sense of humor made our training experience even more enjoyable and memorable. What impressed me most was his initial honesty about what we could realistically achieve with Jet. He set clear expectations and delivered on every promise, significantly improving my puppy’s behavior. It’s clear that James has a wealth of experience and knowledge, and it indeed shows in his work. Despite his expertise, the prices were surprisingly reasonable. I felt I received excellent value for the quality of training provided. Overall, I highly recommend Dedicated Dog Training to anyone looking for an experienced and effective dog trainer. Thank you, James, for helping us create a happy and well-behaved pup that will last his lifetime!”

About the Trainer

Dedicated Dog Training is a Long Island-based dog training business founded by James, who provides personalized dog training services to help owners manage and improve their dog’s behavior. They specialize in obedience training, behavior modification for aggression (including fear-based, territorial, food guarding, and dog-on-dog aggression), puppy training, and board-and-train programs. Their approach emphasizes clear communication, realistic expectations, and building a strong relationship between dog, owner, and trainer. They offer in-home training lessons, virtual puppy workshops for puppies 6–16 weeks old, and intensive board-and-train programs led by James. They pride themselves on transparent, compassionate, and results-driven training, with flexible scheduling to accommodate busy pet owners. They also provide follow-up lessons to reinforce training after board-and-train programs.

They serve dog owners who are frustrated by jumping, nipping, leash reactivity, anxiety, or aggression, and aim to create calm, safe, and enjoyable home environments. Their training philosophy is that not every dog owner is a good fit, and they prioritize working with motivated clients who are committed to consistent training.

They offer luxury in-home lessons and an executive-level boot camp, and they are known for their high customer service standards, accessibility, and long-lasting results. They also provide virtual puppy training workshops focused on preventing bad habits and teaching owners how to raise their puppies effectively.

They do not guarantee elimination of aggression but focus on control and management through obedience training and desensitization techniques.
