Our Mission
We started this business with a simple goal: create a place where Brooklyn dogs can thrive and pet parents can feel completely at ease. Our mission builds on what we know matters most - consistency, trust, and true love for dogs. Every walk, training session, and daycare visit focuses on what makes your specific dog happy.
We bring together people who genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. Our staff notices the little things such as which treats work best, which parks your dog prefers, and how they like to play. We listen to both dogs and their humans, combining your insights with our observations to create experiences that leave tails wagging and owners smiling. Your dog deserves care from people who truly understand what makes them unique.
Meet the Dog Lovers Behind NYC Dog Pro
Our team is lead by world-renowned dog trainer Jaydon Rivera, who founded NYC Dog Pro after spending years working at local shelters and seeing what dogs truly need. His background combining pet psychology with practical care guides our whole approach. Our staff includes certified trainers, former vet techs, and lifelong dog owners who bring both skills and heart to their work.
What unites our team pictured below? We're all those people you see who can't walk past a dog without smiling and asking for permission to say hello. Many of us have rescue dogs at home, so we know the quirks and joys that come with each unique pup. Get to know our trainers, walk coordinators, and daycare specialists. Your dog isn't just getting a service provider, they're getting a genuine friend who speaks their language and looks forward to meeting you both.
About Our Services
Dog Walking
We scout Brooklyn's most interesting routes for your dog's daily walks. From tree-lined paths in Prospect Park to quiet neighborhood streets with plenty of sniffing spots, we pick routes that keep dogs engaged and happy. Each walk includes fresh water, treats, cleanup, and a quick report about your dog's adventure. We match walk length and pace to your dog's energy level, whether they need a quick potty break or a longer exploration. Many of our walkers maintain regular schedules, so your dog builds a genuine friendship with someone who knows their walking preferences.
Doggie Daycare
Dogs are social creatures who crave play and company. Our daycare creates that experience in a clean, supervised space where your dog can make friends and burn energy. We organize play groups by size and personality, so active dogs can run together while calmer dogs enjoy quieter activities. Nap areas give tired pups a chance to rest between play sessions. Your dog returns home happy and ready to relax with you after a full day of fun.
Dog Training
Good training creates a happy dog who knows what to expect and how to behave. Our trainers use positive methods that build confidence rather than fear. We start with basic commands - sit, stay, come - and can work up to more advanced behaviors based on your needs. Training happens at our facility or in your home, where dogs often learn best. What makes our approach different? We train you too, showing you how to maintain progress and communicate clearly with your dog.
Vet Care
Skip the stress of extra trips across town for basic pet health needs. Our vet specialist handles routine care right at our location - vaccinations, minor injury treatment, health checks, and basic medication. We can spot small issues before they become big problems during your dog's visits. For serious medical needs, we partner with local full-service vets and can help coordinate that care.
