Hear from Our Happy Clients:

"Eric at UpDog has rapidly become my dog's best friend! From dog walking to training, Eric does it all with professionalism and an obvious love of animals. He and his staff are attentive, available, and reasonably priced, and are my first recommendation when another dog owner needs a dog trainer or walker." 

- Don B.

Valley Stream, NY

"Eric is an excellent trainer. Our dog is a rescue and would resource guard his food & bed. Hard habits to break, but Eric gave us the guidance we needed to establish a well behaved, trusting dog, who now follows commands. I highly recommend Eric, he is terrific!"

- Annamarie K.
Oceanside, NY

"Just finished our eight-week training package with Eric. Saw major improvements from our dogs - a five year-old and a puppy - in just two months time. And we learned the necessary techniques to practice and refine their training going forward. Eric was excellent with our dogs and extremely flexible in terms of scheduling."

- Sean Z. 
Merrick, NY

"We had a great experience with our trainer, Eric. Our puppy Bailey absolutely loved him and was so happy every time he came to our house. Bailey learned a lot from him and, as new dog parents, we learned a lot too. Eric is very responsive and always willing to help. He answered all of our questions either during our sessions or via text between sessions. We highly recommend him."
