Leah specializes in helping family dogs navigate the real-world challenges of NYC life. Whether it’s a bold new puppy, a strong-willed adult, or a nervous rescue still adjusting to the city, the focus is on helping pet owners build calm, confident communication in a high-distraction environment.
Sessions use proven, practical techniques that improve your dog’s behavior by shaping yours. In-person visits include hands-on demos and clear coaching so you can apply the training independently. Virtual sessions are perfect for reviewing progress, troubleshooting, and mapping out next steps—like therapy, but for you and your dog.
Ideal for everyday pet dogs with big personalities, Leah’s approach is grounded in experience, empathy, and real-world results—and proudly female-owned.
Customized outdoor sessions based on your dog’s needs.
Shy pup? We’ll stick to quiet areas.

Working on city manners? We may even stop into a store for real-life practice.
