Testimonials
My dogs have been going for 4 years now. Valerie is knowledgeable, patient and cares about your relationship with your dog the most. All 3 of my rescues train here and the center has been an integral part of building a healthy pack for my family.

Valerie has been working with both of our dogs for the past several years – since they were puppies. She’s an amazing trainer and has an instinctive connection with dogs in general. She specializes in helping dogs with behavioral issues and uses a variety of effective techniques that she adapts to the needs of individual dogs and their owners. She and all of her staff are incredibly caring and we never worry about how our dogs fare when we board them at the New Paltz Dog Training Center. We can’t recommend them highly enough!

I would highly recommend New Paltz Dog Training & Canine Adventures for anyone who is looking to have a dog who is not just a pet but is a partner too.
