NYC dog trainer - fearful rescue
Hello! I adopted a beagle over the weekend so I may be getting ahead of myself, but it feels like a better idea to get started ASAP rather than wait and hurt her quality of life for too long. I had a beagle for nearly 18 years so thankfully I am well-versed in beagle’s amazing quirks, but I adopted that beagle as a puppy and her issues were different!
This sweet beagle loves to go on walks according to her foster in New Jersey, but she is very afraid to leave my building. I live on the second floor of a brownstone and I have successfully gotten her to go down the stairs. She will sit back away from the open door, but she will now at the very least tolerate the open door without running back upstairs to the couch.
Do folks have recommendations for good dog trainers in the city? I am looking for positive reinforcement and patience!
