Doggie Development 101
Dog Training Services
Our "Doggie Development" philosophy is the art and science of raising an exceptional puppy through positive reinforcement training. We help both dogs and people be understood and happy, forging a lifelong bond.
Private Puppy Training
This includes a series of 60min visits to your home or location of choice. Follow up notes between sessions will be provided as needed along with unlimited communication during the duration of a training package.
Apprentice Training
Subject to availability, Apprentices are in the process of becoming fully certified, and will report to the head trainer for guidance
10-Day Puppy Intensive
This is an intensive program for dogs under 6 months of age who need the basics and will be veterinarian-cleared for walks by day 7 or sooner. The lessons will be carried out at least once per weekday, and ideally twice for the duration of the program. If you’d like to offload a lot of your training by homework, this is the package for you! *Intensives are available for dogs of all ages and needs.
Goals
Acclimation to environment, house training assistance, ability to “drop it”, “touch/come”, “sit”, “down” and “let’s go/wait”. We get your puppy ready for outdoor leash walks.
Rules
No real walking on leash outside until the end of day 7, if possible. No greeting of any kind on leash during program duration. Ideal if puppies are cleared for walks by the veterinarian by day 7 of the program. Puppy guardian must utilize at least 50% of the puppy’s caloric diet for training and follow the certified trainer’s instructions to the best of their ability.
Satisfied Dogs. Overjoyed Owners.

I’ve been using Far Fetched Dog Walking since they first started and honestly couldn’t recommend them more. I used them on the Upper West Side and now on the Upper East Side, and they’ve been great every time.
My dog isn’t the easiest to walk. He’s way more interested in pizza on the sidewalk than listening, so I’m usually pretty cautious about dog walkers. But I trust them completely. Super reliable, professional, and you can tell they’re actually trained dog handlers, not just walkers.
