Hustle Pups NYC

Hustle Pups NYC offers a range of training options including Pre-Puppy consultations, Perfect Puppy Packages, Private Training Session Packages, and a Board and Train Intensive Program. The Pre-Puppy consultation is a 60-minute virtual session to prepare for a new puppy, covering expectations, tools, and setup for success. The Perfect Puppy Package is a comprehensive program spanning from before puppy arrival through 6 months, including the consultation and 6 training sessions to establish structure, address needs, and build obedience and leash manners.

Private Training Session Packages are tailored for adult and young dogs, designed to establish good behavior and address specific issues. These packages range from two to six sessions, covering structure, leadership, general obedience, leash manners, and problem behaviors like leash reactivity, separation anxiety, recall, and management of aggressive behaviors. The Board and Train Intensive Program is a four-week immersive program where dogs stay with Kelly, receiving a minimum of three private training sessions daily focused on general obedience, crate training, and specific problem areas. This program includes frequent photo/video updates, an optional mid-program owner session, a 1.5-3 hour Go Home Session upon completion, one follow-up private session, and 60 days of unlimited text support.

In addition to training, Hustle Pups NYC provides structured overnight boarding and day care at their Greenpoint facility. These programs include daily play sessions, pee-breaks, midday naps, and pack walks. Boarding and day care are available for dogs who have completed their board & train program, private training clients, and the public, subject to a successful temperament test. They also offer weekday dog walking services, including group walks, for exercise and mental stimulation.
