Board and Train New York
Searching for the best board and train in New York? Our programs are led by certified professionals and tailored to your dog’s behavior, temperament, and training goals. A 3-week program is typically recommended for mild to moderate behaviors, while serious behavioral issues generally require 5 weeks or more. After training, your dog returns home to your apartment, brownstone, or backyard ready to listen—even on New York’s busiest, most crowded streets.
From Manhattan high-rises to Westchester suburbs, owners bring us dogs with aggression, leash reactivity, elevator and lobby chaos, nonstop barking, and zero recall — because a trainer nearby isn’t the same as a program that works.

Get Better Behavior with Our New York Board and Train Program
Every trainer lists “pulling, barking, and jumping.” But New York dogs deal with a much tougher environment, and our immersive program is built specifically to handle it:
Going Wild on the Leash
Lunging and barking at other dogs, bikes, or strollers on crowded sidewalks where there is no space to escape.
Lobby and Elevator Chaos
Barking at neighbors, pulling toward apartment doors, or growling in tight hallways.
Apartment Barking
The nonstop noise that gets landlord complaints slipped under your door.
Aggression Toward People or Dogs
Serious cases handled safely with our specialized team.
Separation Anxiety
Crying, howling, or destroying things the second they are left home alone.
Ignoring You When Called
Running off or refusing to come back, even in a fenced-in dog run.
Problem Puppy Habits
Stopping bad behaviors early, before they turn into big problems.
Why Bad Habits in Busy Places Are Hard to Fix
Dogs in crowded neighborhoods practice bad habits dozens of times a day. Every trip down the elevator, hallway pass, or door buzzer is another chance to get it wrong. A weekly one-hour lesson cannot stop a behavior that is practiced constantly. Our program completely stops this cycle, teaches your dog how to stay calm, and practices those new good habits around real-world distractions before returning home.

What Happens During our Board and Train Program
No mysteries. Here is the exact path from our first meeting to a well-behaved dog back home.
1
Let’s Get to Know Your Dog
We meet with you to understand your dog’s personality, behavior, training goals, and challenges. From there, we’ll recommend the Board & Train program that’s the best fit.
2
Getting Comfortable
Your dog arrives at our facility, settles into their new environment, and begins building trust with their trainer before structured training begins.
3
Building New Habits Every Day
Through daily, hands-on training sessions, your dog learns obedience, manners, leash skills, recall, impulse control, and behavior modification based on their individual needs.
4
Learning to Stay Focused Anywhere
Once the basics are mastered, we introduce distractions like other dogs, people, noises, and busy environments to build reliable obedience in real-life situations.
5
See Your Dog’s Progress
Partway through the program, you’ll meet with your trainer to review your dog’s progress, discuss what’s been accomplished, and see what they’re learning before graduation.
6
Putting Training Into Practice
Your dog practices their new skills in parks, neighborhoods, and other public settings so they can confidently perform outside the training facility.
7
Learning How to Lead Your Dog
When your dog graduates, you’ll receive a hands-on training session where we teach you the commands, handling techniques, and routines needed to maintain your dog’s success at home.
8
Support After Graduation
After your dog returns home, we’ll meet again to answer questions, address any challenges, and make sure both you and your dog are continuing to succeed together.
9
Lifetime Support and Aftercare
Your training doesn’t end after graduation. Enjoy continued support through advanced group classes, online resources, phone and email support, community events, and ongoing guidance whenever you need it.

Choosing a board and train program is an important decision. Here are the questions we hear most often from dog owners across New York, along with the answers that help them decide whether traveling to our Deer Park facility is worth it.
Board and Train New York Frequently Asked Questions
For many dogs, Board and Train gives trainers more time to work on behavior, obedience, and real-life skills each day. It can be a strong fit for owners dealing with pulling, barking, reactivity, aggression, anxiety, or poor listening. The free evaluation helps us decide whether it is the right fit for you and your dog.
Program length depends on your dog, the behaviors involved, and your goals. Some dogs need 3 weeks. Others need more time like 5 weeks especially when there are serious behavior problems involved. We’ll recommend what makes the most sense during the free evaluation.
Yes. We work with dogs showing aggression, reactivity, guarding, and other serious behavior problems. Every dog is evaluated first so our trainers can understand the behavior and recommend the safest, most suitable program.
Your involvement is a big part of the process. The midway, go-home, and follow-up sessions teach you how to handle your dog, use the commands, and continue the same structure at home.
You are not left to figure things out alone. Every program includes a follow-up session, phone and email support, lifetime support after training, online resources, and two free Advanced Group Class passes.
Dogs must have current Rabies, Bordetella, and Distemper vaccines. Negative fecal and Giardia test results are not required, but they are highly encouraged before the program begins. Our team will confirm everything you need before your dog’s start date.
Bring your dog’s food, vaccine records, test results, and any approved medication or care instructions. Our team will send you the full checklist before drop-off.
Start dates depend on current availability and the program recommended for your dog. Call (516) 217-1604 or book your free evaluation to check available dates.
Pricing depends on your dog’s needs and the program that fits best. During the free evaluation, we’ll meet your dog, talk through your concerns, recommend the right option, and explain the cost before you make a decision.
K9 Mania uses a balanced and holistic dog training approach. We consider your dog’s temperament, motivations, environment and relationship with you to identify the root causes of unwanted behavior. Because every dog learns differently, we use appropriate methods from all four quadrants of learning to encourage progress, establish clear communication and build reliable real-world behavior.
