Staten Island Companion Dog

I've been bringing my dogs here for years. They have great trainers with a large variety of activities you can train your dog in. Puppy classes to advanced obedience, agility, tricks, etc. Large facility that ensures you can keep your dog in its own space to train.

Our first day of class- we didn’t know what to expect. Koda Bear was a difficult student to say the least-barking, whining, tugging and jumping! With the support and patience of Janet, Desma and John.. we began to see so much growth in Koda! Koda made strides week by week. Their constant encouragement and praises as well as their sound advice and fool proof strategies has not only benefited Koda in so many ways but for our family as a whole! The dedicated instructors are true and knowledgeable experts in this field and they care. We feel a bit more confident and validated as we work with Koda on his journey/training. Looking forward to continuing the practice as the learning never ends. We are excited for our next stop:Beginner 2!

My husband and I are taking agility for fun class with our dog Maximus. We’ve taken 10 classes with our dog already and this by far is the most fun class we ever took. Our dog cannot wait his turn to go into the ring. He gets so excited. He doesn’t want to leave the ring. Kristine is knowledgeable, experienced, fun, and overall an amazing teacher. She is calm and gentle with my dog when he’s getting excited, yet firm enough that he listens to her I highly recommend this class.

I love this place. The training classes are great and the staff keep you motivated to continue your dog's training way past the initial classes. We are a few classes into puppy training and everyone is so helpful and patient. The classes aren't rushed and the trainers are really nice. Training also extends outside of the classroom. If I have any questions or concerns, I know I can always email my questions and they will be answered promptly.

I adopted my puppy in 2022 and started her training at PetSmart. As I got to know my puppy better, I decided she'd make a great Therapy Dog. While investigating HOW to become a Therapy Dog Pair, I was introduced to The Staten Island Companion Dog Training Club. This amazing group of caring and helpful (mostly volunteers) have helped both me and my dog learn how to work together. She is now a Certified Canine Good Citizen (after completing the Beginner II class) and we are now a Certified Therapy Dog Pair (after completing the Therapy Dog Training class) with The Bright and Beautiful Therapy Dogs, Inc. Since that time, I've become a member of the club and we've taken Agility For Fun. There are loads of continuous learning courses as well as competition classes if you and your dog are so inclined. They serve and understand all breeds ESPECIALLY mixed breeds and help teach owners how to manage behavior without damaging the spirit. I've learned alot and look forward to learning more. I highly recommend this club whether you just want to learn how to have a well-behaved dog or you want to train to compete.
