Helping You Build a Strong and Lasting

Relationship With Your Pet

Our Mission

Our greatest goal at Pawfessional K9 Academy is to provide a safe and stress-free living environment for you and your dog(s). There are three core things that a dog needs: food, recreation, and companionship from both humans and fellow canines. We aim to work with clients in and around Long Island, New York through our methods of operant conditioning and skills and training experience.


Our team strives to meet your needs and develop the aspect of mutual respect between you and your pet. Thus, we offer personalized guidance to enhance your and your pets’ lives and improve your relationship and the quality of life you share.


It is imperative for us to show your dog the rules for living in a house with a human family and help you understand what the dog needs to be able to excel in this environment.


However, we also understand that not all the training in the world can take away the fact that your pup needs both mental and physical stimulation. We will help you understand and recognize these needs and the simple language that will be understood by both owner and dog. We will achieve all of this through our professional support and personalized one-on-one training.

Our Vision

Through the training we provide at “Pawfessional K9 Academy,” we work towards a world where people and their pets live together for the mutual benefit of each other. By functionally assessing the relationship between a problematic behavior and the dogs’ environment, we will effectively and efficiently change those unwanted behaviors while improving the relationship the owner has with their dog and their joint quality of life.
