Urban Trails

Richie started getting results with our 7 month old puppy from the first minute. Within 2 sessions (and homework) he had achieved much of what we wanted, including walking well on a leash, sit, lie down, stay and come. He understand and explain the dog dynamic so well and introduced a healthy level of respect in Dexter

I was introduced to Richie in 2012 when my mini poodle was only 8 months old and new to the city. Richie has been an important part of our lives ever since. He helped train him and turned him into a confident, friendly city dog. He walks him regularly and has boarded him quite a few times. Richie adores dogs and they respect and adore him. He is totally reliable and responsible. I couldn’t recommend him more strongly.

Richie is awesome, and goes out of his way to take care of our dog, Virginia. He's even taken her hiking with her two friends Remy and Richie (the dog) and she came home totally exhausted and satisfied; same goes for the weekend she spent upstate with him and his family. On the day-to-day, he's made her part of an awesome and well-behaved pack, and is always flexible if we have last minute changes or need extra walks. Richie knows everyone in the neighborhood (including the wonderful people at the dog store Zoomies), and is part of a terrific venture to make healthy dehydrated chicken snacks for dogs. Sometimes he even throws in a free bag! I totally trust Richie with Ginnie, and with access to our apartment, and happily recommend any of his services to anyone who asks.

Richie has taken care of multiple dogs in my building for as long as I can remember (decade plus). Many of us trust him completely to take care of our canine angels. But Richie goes much deeper than that — helping us to be better dog owners. He is my dog’s trusted godfather offering insight and advice. You can count on him to do well by your dog in every setting.

Richie and Urban Trails really cares about your dog, your family, your situation and how that plays into your pups actions. Richie started training my bonded pair of pups in 2009 with outstanding long term results. His training method, support and positive attitude has helped our fur family more than he knows. Richie isn’t your run of the mill trainer, he really understands dog behavior.
