Keyrak Dog Club has been providing dog training services to families in Staten Island since 1982, offering training for puppies through adult dogs at all skill levels. They specialize in group sessions that include Basic Manners, Advanced Manners, Canine Good Citizen preparation, Therapy Dog and Service Dog public access training, and special programs for kids and their dogs. The club also offers FitDog Walks in local parks for practicing good manners in real-world settings, with no fee and weather-dependent scheduling. They provide limited on-site day care and boarding with overnight supervision, welcoming intact and “difficult” dogs pending evaluation. Virtual training options are available for most programs, and they offer a train-at-home program through a partner site. Experienced, certified trainers with over 40 years of combined experience lead all programs.

Their programs are structured to progress from foundational manners to advanced certifications, with evaluations included for AKC CGC, Community Canine, Urban Canine, and Pet Partners Therapy Dog titles. They emphasize positive, family-centered training and accommodate dogs of all ages, breeds, and behavioral needs.

Keyrak Dog Club also features “Teacher’s Pets” — trained helper dogs used in sessions to model behavior and assist in training. They maintain full licensing for both training and boarding services.
