I highly recommend Westchester K-9 both for training and for boarding. You will be in good hands and you will end up with a dog that is calm and manageable. We have worked with them for several years and have had an excellent experience and excellent training results. We have 4 dogs, 2 of which are older and not very well trained, but they are very mellow now — I wish we had known about Stacy when they were younger.
The younger two dogs in our pack are rescue dogs that are a mix of two herding breeds. In retrospect, it probably wasn’t a good idea to adopt these dogs into a home with a small yard in Larchmont and a busy family, but Stacy and her staff have worked with us to channel the high energy and intelligence of these dogs and they are well-trained and obedient. One of the dogs has a small inclination to aggressive behavior, which Stacy knew exactly how to handle.
I think that what distinguishes Stacy’s program from others is that she works with the family to train the dog to fit into the family’s life. Other trainers seem to think that the family needs to adapt to the dog, but Stacy takes a more pragmatic, family-focused approach and the end result is an obedient, well-trained dog. She will listen to your concerns and set the training program accordingly — as well as give you excellent advice for home care and keeping up the training routine.
