Our experience with maggie was excellent. Bowie came home a very well trained dog, and to this day, we couldnt be happier with his behavior and the progress he is making. I strongly recommend Instinct Dog Behavior and Training to anyone looking for a great training program for their puppy. Also, I strongly believe that sending Bowie to training in NYC was key becuase learning to walk on busy sidewalks and deal with noise wouldnt have been possible if we sent him to someone in the country.

We love instinct! We have had such a great experience with Sarah Dixon for at home training. We also just had an amazing experience boarding our two dogs at Instinct- they had an awesome time and the camper updates are the absolute best! Our dogs are really homebodies so Instinct did an incredible job with them and making them feel comfortable! 10/10 for Instinct!

We first sent our girl Mica to Instinct for a one week board and train, while we were in Mexico for our wedding. She’s a rescue, shy, an incredible love bug but - anxious, high octane and the awful humans we rescued her from didn’t exactly do any work with her or socialize her. I had met a “balanced trainer” before instinct, and not only did he want to use aversives, but he basically wanted to scare her into being a “better dog.” No thank you. Our meet and greet at instinct assuaged all the fears the previous trainer had bro... read more

My dog, Max, is a young Jack Russell mix and FULL of energy. I was able to train him on some things, but he had EXTREME reactions to skateboards, Rollerblades, and motorcycles. I could hang onto him because he's small, but he would completely freak out, and once he would hit that level, he stayed there. Because of his energy level, he requires a lot of exercise, and after two summers trying to deal with the issue myself, this year I decided to get professional help because I love walking with him, but I dreaded going out wit... read more

Instinct Dog Behavior & Training was exactly what we needed for our rescue dog! Our trainer Casey, specializing in leash reactivity (our pup's most pressing issue), helped us see humane and effective results from our very first consultation. She coached us in clicker training on everything from loose leash walking to dealing with potentially dangerous on-leash situations. It was an excellent bonus that Instinct provided 'bomb-proof' helper dogs during the sessions to address the problems head on. After each of our 4 meetings... read more

I sent my puppy to stay with them for a week to be trained and the experience was amazing from moment we walked thru the door to our post-visit follow ups. Eddie's so much better behaved, knows quite a lot of commands, and is overall easier to manage than prior to his visit. My dog walker even commented that he's so much easier to walk now. Devi was fantastic with training him, and their whole team was great with their updates and constant communication. Well worth the money spent, and recommend them highly.

Instinct has been invaluable in helping Gypsy reduce her aggressive tendencies. They are responsive, supportive, and totally understanding of the needs and behaviors of dogs--and owners!!

We love Instinct for our pup Chelsea. She is a pit mix we adopted from the ASPCA - when we first brought her home she had a lot of behavioral issues and anxiety that caused her to act out. We took her to Instinct's board and train program and it completely changed our relationship with her, her comfort in our home and around other people, etc. She is now affection and responds very well to commands. Instinct has great resources available for their alumni pets, which have really helped us keep up with Chelsea's training and r... read more

Instinct NYC is amazing! We worked on some reactivity issues with Maggie and couldn't be more pleased + surprised at how quickly we made progress. I love their positive-reinforcement training methods and that it's a female-owned business. We always felt like we were in a super inclusive, friendly environment. Also, Maggie was an incredible trainer -- she was so supportive and laid out extremely realistic plans and timelines. We couldn't have moved forward in our training without them and it was absolutely worth the price. Pl... read more
