Living in NYC can be tough, but living here as a dog, where every chicken bone on the sidewalk feels like an obstacle course and every skateboard or siren reverberates like an earthquake, it can be downright overwhelming. That’s where Doggie Style NYC steps in.

I’m Ria and I’m here to help you and your dog navigate the chaos of city life with the power of positive reinforcement and marker-based training. Whether you’re working with a hyperactive puppy, a reactive rescue, or just need help polishing up basic manners, I’ve got you covered.

I offer both in-person and online training sessions for all breeds—Pitbulls, Chihuahuas, supermutts, and everyone in between. My services currently cover Brooklyn Heights, Dumbo, Downtown Brooklyn, Clinton Hill, Fort Greene, Cobble Hill, Carroll Gardens, Boerum Hill, Park Slope, Prospect Heights, Bedford-Stuyvesant, Crown Heights, Williamsburg, and Greenpoint.

My training focuses on key areas like loose-leash walking, resource guarding, reactivity, and teaching general good manners—helping your canine companion thrive in a human-dominated world.

Every client receives a personalized training plan, designed to strengthen your bond and improve communication with your dog. Let’s work together to make city life easier, more enjoyable, and more manageable for everyone!

in-person 90-minute consultation

$220

A primary 90-minute session is a great way to address any concerning behaviours and provide time for a full functional assessment.

You will come away with a personalised training plan to continue working with your dog.

A great way to follow up on the consultation, generalise behaviours and work through issues in different surroundings. I generally recommend one primary consult and four weekly or bi-weekly training sessions to address any issues or concerns.

I offer discounted packages for these.

online 60 minute session

$150

Sometimes, you don’t have the time for an in-person session, and sometimes a trainer in the room can be too much of a distraction. Try an online session. These can be booked from anywhere in the US!
