Perfect Behavior Dog Training

We reached out to Jay because our 2-year old Aussie-Collie mix Hazel was terrified of going outside, even on our quiet block next to Riverside Park. Within ten minutes of meeting her, Jay clocked that her current medication was making her anxiety worse. He connected us to a wonderful veterinarian here on the UWS who prescribed new meds that she's responding well to. Jay's guidance and training have been excellent, if a little overwhelming at first. He's a disciple of Karen Pryor with decades of experience training dogs professionally and a passion for scent work. He introduced us to various exercises rooted in "shaping" Hazel through reinforcement to rebuild her confidence outdoors, as well as improve her focus and nose. In the few sessions we've had, we've practiced hand targeting, scen

I feel compelled to write a review about Jay because it is amazing what he has managed to do with my service dog in such little time. Variety is only 7 months and he’s able to travel in the subway and long distance trains calmly and without accidents (he is fully potty trained!). When we first met Jay, Variety was only 3 months and we were very overwhelmed with puppyhood but in just one session he was able to teach Variety three commands and that gave us hope. Thanks to Jay I have the most wonderful and well behaved service dog and for that I’m very grateful.

My Arrow the Airedale, canine star of stage and screen, was 8 weeks old when we began training with Jay Andors of Perfect Behavior Dog Training. Initially, I had contacted Jay to help me with “hand stripping”, a particular technique for grooming wire coated dogs. He explained that the very first step in grooming, for any dog, is to train for obedience— such as tolerating standing still, lying down, sitting— and wow, did that make sense! Jay was fatherly, kind, patient, and had a clear syllabus of graded challenges and behaviors with which to follow over the course of the weeks of sessions that we had with him. He took the time to understand what my goals were for both home life and the dream of having my dog work alongside me either as an animal assisted therapy dog (I was an occupation

We've been working with Jay since we moved to NYC back in March, and what a transformation we have seen with our dog Raleigh! He used to be crazy on walks and would dart back and forth. We wouldn't even want to take him with us. Now, he's so easy to walk, is not reactive to other dogs, and loves to be by us and pay attention to us. We've also learned so many new training techniques using platforms and searching so that he can get out his energy. We've also been struggling with separation anxiety upon moving and Jay provided us a ton of resources and support! We are able to go out to dinner together now without worrying about Raleigh! We highly recommend working with Jay!

Jay has been wonderfully helpful and patient as my husband and I train our 1 y/o cocker spaniel. Our puppy was very destabilized by a move, and Jay has helped us build his confidence back with scent work and helped us train him to be more comfortable alone. He's gone above and beyond by helping us connect with vets, recommending books and videos, and answering frantic messages throughout the week. We'd certainly recommend him.
