New York Wolfpack

Doug and Thalia are phenomenal. We did a board and train for our three year old rescue who came from a hoarding situation before we adopted her. Having never been outside she was reactive to dogs outside the home. After training with the Wolfpack she’s been given a whole new outlook and tools to have a whole new life. We can now take her to the park and on the subway without fear and have the confidence to keep her training up. She’s so happy and confident. Can not recommend enough. Thank you New York Wolfpack!

I’ve been sitting on this review for a long time because it’s hard to put into words just how deeply life-changing NYW has been for Cosmo and me. Before NYW, we worked with three other trainers and even tried another board and train. Nothing worked. Doug and Talia are not a one-size-fits-all training duo; their intuition and ability to truly see the dog in front of them is their secret sauce. Almost three years later, they still mentor us when we need it and are our most trusted caretakers for Cosmo when we travel. I get countless compliments on how well-trained Cosmo is, and I tear up regularly thinking about the free, joyful life he gets to live because of the rock-solid foundation NYW built with us. To be fully honest, Cosmo was a legitimate bite risk, and I used to get heart palpita

I truly can’t say enough wonderful things about NY Wolfpack!!! Doug and Talia took my pit mix Summer in for a 5 week board & train and it was the best experience I could have possibly asked for, they exceeded my expectations in every way possible and I’m so grateful I found them. Summer, my three year old rescue pit mix, had pretty severe human and dog reactivity, among a handful of other things they helped us with that I did not know how to overcome. Throughout her entire B&T they kept me updated with videos of her training, answered my questions, and made me feel completely at ease. Summer, who is naturally a nervous girl, completely fell in love with both of them and I genuinely have never seen her as happy and playful as she was with Doug and Talia. After Summer’s B&T ended they made s

Doug transformed our dog! I spent hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars to help our extremely dog-reactive cattle dog live a comfortable life with us in Brooklyn. No trainer or method or medication even made a dent. Every walk was a nightmare. We would go to the park at 5am just to avoid other dogs. We couldn't have people over to our apartment. It was so stressful. Then, as a final act of desperation, we sent her to Wolfpack. She's transformed! She's trustworthy around kids and other dogs, can come everywhere with us now, and is a joy to live with. She still has her big personality and makes us laugh every day, but the structure Doug helped us give her makes her so much calmer. We are about a year out now, and the training has solidified. She's perfect. If you are on the fence, j

Working with New York Wolf Pack was a fantastic and life changing experience. We have a 4 year-old rescue dog who came to Doug & Talia with dog reactivity issues, and they worked absolute magic with her. Not only does she not react to dogs anymore, but they taught her invaluable skills and behaviors that help us live a better every day life with our amazing dog in New York City. If and when we get another dog, we will surely use New York Wolfpack again!
