We are a passionate, educated, skilled team of certified, veterinarian-recommended industry leaders. We sit on the Boards of international animal behavior organizations; travel nationally and internationally to host educational workshops and seminars for other dog trainers; lecture at conferences and universities; and regularly publish articles and participate in media interviews about dog behavior & training. Most importantly, we love helping New York City dogs and owners with training problems big and small.

Meet Team Instinct®

Located in vibrant East Harlem, our 6000 sqft, fully-licensed dog training facility is like no other in the New York City area.

Amenities include:

• 2500 sqft private outdoor dog run for play and training
• Two floors of newly remodeled indoor space, including “real life rooms”, individual Mason company K9 Cabins®, and a spacious training area
• 24/7 on-site supervision by qualified, caring professionals

Give your dog the urban training experience of a lifetime, at Instinct East Harlem.

Our human team is pretty amazing, but we’d be lost without our incredible Instinct Helper Dogs, who accompany us to work each day and provide invaluable assistance in the training of other dogs. Our canine teammates work together with our professional trainers to help socialize fearful and aggressive dogs, teach puppies how to play, encourage nervous dogs to explore, and demonstrate the how-to’s of obedience exercises for our clients.
