Behavior Vets of NYC

We have never had a better dog trainer than Claire Cario. She is so wonderful with our dog and has given him a great new outlook on life. She is kind, thoughtful, caring and our dog absolutely loves her. She has helped him a great deal with his anxiety and we would be lost without her in our small Brooklyn apartment. We can’t recommend her enough.

We came to Behavior Vets of NYC for aggression problems with our younger dog. He suddenly became aggressive towards our oldest dog and it was becoming challenging to leave them in the same house. We had the pleasure of working with Rikke, and she was an absolute angel! Over the course of just a few sessions we saw immediate results. She had so many great training tips and fun games to work with our dog. Our dogs are now happily playing with one another, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. If anyone is on the fence about whether behavioral training will work, I strongly encourage you to try a few appointments with Rikke. She took genuine interest in our situation, and helped us find a training plan that worked for our home lives. Thank you Rikke for working with Zeus! You’ve given us peace and happiness in our home.

Behavior Vets is a remarkable service that has been instrumental in transforming my dog's life. Minnie had been struggling with anxiety and fear of people, but with exceptional training and veterinary care, Behavior Vets, and specifically our trainer Taylor, have been a true game-changer. Taylor's work at Behavior Vets deserves the highest praise. Her dedication, expertise, and genuine care have made an enormous difference in Minnie's progress. Taylor's patience and understanding have been invaluable in helping Minnie overcome her anxiety. She has a remarkable ability to connect with dogs and tailor her training methods to suit their individual needs. Taylor's positive reinforcement techniques, coupled with her unwavering support, have transformed Minnie into a more confident and contented dog. She consistently goes above and beyond, providing personalized guidance, insightful advice, and practical strategies to address Minnie's behavioral challenges. Her wealth of knowledge and commitment to Minnie's well-being are evident in every session we've had. Taylor's passion for her work shines through, and her genuine love for dogs is palpable. I would also like to express my gratitude to Dr. Tu, who played an essential role in Minnie's journey to recovery. Dr. Tu's expertise in veterinary care and medications has been instrumental in finding the right solution for Minnie's needs. With Dr. Tu's guidance, we were able to explore appropriate medications that complemented Minnie's training, ultimately helping her reach a happier and less anxious state. Thanks to the combined efforts of Taylor and Dr. Tu, Minnie has blossomed into a more confident and sociable dog. She is now comfortable in her own skin. The progress we have witnessed in the past 6-7 months has been remarkable! I wholeheartedly recommend Behavior Vets and their incredible team (especially Taylor!).

My rescue dog needed serious help with anxiety and related aggression. After working with Casey, one of the dog behavior specialists/trainers, both my dog and I have a new “leash” on life. Seriously, NYC Behavior Vets was life-changing for my Lucy and me. Casey helped me read Lucy better, and I would recommend her to anyone. And I believe she is capable of training literally ANY dog, regardless of whether the dog is having behavior issues. For those who feel hopeless that their rescue dog will ever get over their trauma, working with Casey was completely game-changing. In addition, I have had a great experience working with Dr Franquin on deciding whether to medicate Lucy and then getting Lucy acclimated to medication. I alive NYC Behavior Vets and I will recommend them to anyone with dog behavioral issues. Even minor ones and especially major ones!

Over the past 10 months I have been working with Taylor and I’ve had the most amazing experience. We also saw Dr.Spano who was very helpful and insightful. My dog is a rescue and has a very difficult temperament so when we were moving to the city I was very nervous! Stella is not the biggest fan of new people and I thought that I would not be able to introduce her. Taylor spent time building trust with both me and my dog and after coming up with a plan I can confidently and comfortably introduce her. I have learned so many things/skills to incorporate every day to ease Stellas anxiety and we have come a long way! I couldn’t say enough good things about Taylor and behavior vets!
