Dog Training on Long Island
DOG TRAINING PROGRAMS
All new clients start with a 90 minute consultation. This gives us plenty of time to get to know your dog(s), understand your goals, and establish a foundation for our upcoming training sessions. 90 minute consultations are built into each training package.
Following our initial consultation, each session is one hour long. This will allows us to target specific skills, reinforce cues, and build your dog’s confidence while keeping each lesson focused, effective, and enjoyable.
Our approach is reward based, safe, and centered on supporting you and your dog’s well-being. Fostering connections; not corrections.
We offer 1:1 private lessons with you included the entire lesson or hybrid private lessons with you included as you please (great for those with busy schedules!)

Caroline Waldman
KPA-CTP, Fear Free Certified
Hello! I am a certified dog trainer serving Port Washington, New York and surrounding areas on Long Island specializing in puppy training, dog obedience and behavior modification. I help with potty training, leash pulling, jumping, barking, puppy biting and more using reward-based methods that create calm, confident, well-mannered dogs.
I began my training career teaching group classes at PetSmart, where I discovered my love for helping families build solid foundations with their dogs. I now continue to teach group classes at Port Chester Obedience Training Club, while also working with private in home clients to provide personalized support tailored to each dog and household.
My goal is always the same: nurturing clear communication, empowering confident dogs and owners, and creating lasting success. I believe in creating an inclusive environment where every individual can thrive and feel welcomed and valued.
Let’s work together to understand the “why” behind your dog’s behavior and create lasting results through positive reinforcement dog training. I help families with puppy training, obedience, and behavior modification to build confident, well-mannered dogs and stronger lifelong bonds.
