Reactive dog training · New York City

most Reactive dogs aren’t untrainable.

They’re just mismatched.

Leash reactivity, lunging, barking at other dogs?

We’ll match you with a vetted NYC trainer who has proven outcomes in exactly what you're dealing with.

“I created Heelr after going to 7 different dog trainers and spending thousands of dollars on trial-and-error trying to get help for my reactive dog. I never want another dog or owner to struggle the way we did.”

- Masha (Founder of Heelr)

The dog training industry is completely unregulated. Anyone can claim to fix reactivity.

What they can’t tell you is whether their approach fits your dog’s specific triggers or if they know how to coach you on real city streets. You usually only find that out after you have already paid for non-refundable sessions.

Heelr removes the guesswork.

Why the training hasn’t worked yet

Matched to your dog’s exact behavior

Not all trainers have the knowledge and experience to help you. Heelr matches you with trainers proven to handle the exact behaviors you’re struggling with.

Fits how you actually live

We match your schedule, your neighborhood, and the training style that suits you best, not just the behavior.

Support between sessions

We follow up and track progress so you never feel stranded between sessions.

Vetted before they meet your dog

Dog training is completely unregulated. At Heelr, every trainer is vetted before they ever meet your dog.

Built by a reactive dog owner

Founded by a reactive dog owner who tried 7 trainers and spent thousands before finding what actually worked.
