INSIDE THE DOG HOUSE NYC
Most Trusted Pet Professionals on Manhattan’s Upper West Side
The Dog House NYC opened in July 1996 as a dog care service offered to a few friends and neighbors in Riverside Park. Over the years, word spread until The Dog House NYC became a professional service in 1999. With the help of several hand-picked dog walkers, what started as a service that provided premium boarding in a private home expanded to offer both individual walks and playgroups. But we weren’t done! As of 2009, we also offer clicker dog training to those who are serious about training their dogs – and in a wholly-positive way.
We say our care is relationship-based. We like to think we have more smiling dogs than any other service, and we believe the secret lies in relationship – between dog and human and among the dogs themselves. Dogs, like people, are first of all social animals.
How do we provide this relationship-based care? We put our dogs at the center of what we do and dedicate ourselves to getting to know them, while also looking after their health and safety. And we love to exchange information with engaged owners. To do this effectively, we limit the number of dogs that we can care for at any one time.
This is particularly true of boarding, which happens in a private home. Every consideration is given to a dog’s well-being, from the many dog beds, to the overflowing toy boxes, to the highest quality grain-free food, to the other guests he’s likely to meet (and meet again) here. For your peace of mind and delight, we enjoy sending “parent reports”, together with photos.
But relationships also govern our dog walks. Every dog is different and different life stages suggest different kinds of walks, whether they be with a buddy to a nearby dog run, a solo outing to smell the flowers and stretch the legs, or a customized walk to support training. Talking with you, we’ll identify the kind of outing that will most benefit your dog. Our aim is always to ensure the time your dog spends with us is time well spent.
And of course relationships govern our training, too. We will design a training plan just for you and your dog and help both of you meet your goals.
We have many dogs in our care that we have looked after all of their long lives, and we are considered almost-family. People frequently tell us they don’t know what they’d do without us. You can check out some testimonials here.
