Project snapshot

In New York, outdated dog training methods still prevail, often harming dogs’ mental health and owner relationships. At School For The Dogs, we aim to make science-based, non-aversive training accessible, especially for those deterred by high costs. We educate and promote our services through social media, free webinars, and local partnerships. Our community approach helps dog owners connect and share experiences both in group settings and online, enhancing learning and support. We reinvest profits from paid services, pursue fundraising, and seek sponsorships to sustain our efforts. This ensures ongoing access to scholarships and subsidized training, transforming lives with positive reinforcement methods and fostering a deeper community connection.
