The Training and Handling Skills You Need to Enjoy Your Dog in Any Environment.
Accomplished in only 6 weeks!
Do you love your dog, but they’ve become a bit too much to handle?
The tugging, the pulling, the lunging, the attempts to chase after other animals (or even people!) on each and every walk. You know you have to do something about it.
If you’ve had enough of embarrassing, stressful, and unsafe situations with your dog – and you’re ready to make some changes – then you’re going to love the PawSessions approach!
We’re going to help you get your dog under control and turn them into the lovable little creature you know they are on the inside. And it’s going to be much simpler and faster than you can imagine, we promise!
In fact, our winning formula of group classes or drop-off training, socialization, and teaching handling skills to owners provides an amazing foundation for your dog in just 6 weeks!

Praise & Reviews for PawSessions!
Google Review:
“I can’t say enough about PawSessions! Laurie and Sarah are wonderful people who genuinely love all dogs and want the very best for them.
This lady knows her stuff. She explained everything, never made us feel rushed and adapted her methods if she saw something wasn’t working quite right. We saw progress after every session!
Today Max is a well behaved boy who comes everywhere with us and is now training to be my service dog!

“I adopted my 8 month old Husky a month ago and quickly learned that she was in need of some training. She would constantly pull hard on her leash.
I brought my husky to PawSessions, and true to her word, she had my dog walking calmly on a leash. Much to my surprise, she did it in three minutes! I’ve since been to PawSessions for some private lessons and will be signing up for their group sessions shortly. In two sessions, I began to walk my dog with no pulling.
If you have a pet that you want to train, I highly suggest PawSessions!”

“Absolutely love Laurie at Paw Sessions. Our little cockapoo has made incredible progress in just 3 sessions. Our main focus has been walking on a loose leash, “drop it,” and “leave it.”
Laurie is very patient and knowledgeable, and has taught us how to work with our dog so that he is polite and well-mannered around both people and dogs. The facility is very clean, we truly look forward to our weekly sessions! Thank you!”

Results You and Your Dog Will Experience
Relief
You’ll be able to relax once your dog isn’t jumping, pulling, and tugging their way all over Long Island. Instead, you can be confident in a much wider variety of settings with your dog, both indoor and outdoor.
Freedom
You’ll have less need to crate your dog when you have people over, or dump them with friends or family when you want to do something fun. More opportunities to bring your dog along with you = everyone wins!
Safety
As your dog becomes better trained they’ll be less of a safety concern for yourself, themselves, and those around you.
Clarity
You’ll know exactly what to do RIGHT with your dog’s training when you participate in our group classes or private training. Our trainers will be there in-person to observe how you interact with your dog, ensuring that you engage with them appropriately depending on the situation.
Engagement
We’ll teach you how to have a relationship with your dog and develop a better connection. You won’t just be learning commands and skills, you’ll also be better equipped to read your dog’s emotions and desires and know how to develop respect from your dog so that they actually listen to you.
Money Saved
You won’t have to worry that the dog training you receive from inexperienced trainers at pet supply stores won’t work, and you’ll be out a huge chunk of cash. Our trainers have a combined 35 years of experience, yet our training classes are actually affordable! And that’s not to mention all the money saved on dog sitting, ruined furniture, and the like that can accrue when you have an untrained dog.
Commands and Skills Your Dog Will Learn
Here is a sample of commands that your dog (and you!) will know once you graduate from our beginner course.
1. Getting your dog’s attention
2. Sit & Stay
3. Down & Stay
4. Come when Called
5. Place
6. Leave it
7. Heel
8. Walking with a Loose Leash

Laurie & Sarah
About Our Long Island Dog Training Company
Hi, we’re Laurie and Sarah, owners of PawSessions.
We are a mother-daughter team, both growing up and living in Huntington our whole lives. We love the area, and are so thrilled to have opened our dream business here and be able to service our community.
At PawSessions, people can bring their dogs for group or private dog training lessons. We started our business because of our love of dogs, and this is exactly what keeps us in business.
From puppies who need to learn the basics, to dogs with mild to severe aggression, leash reactivity, and timid or shy dogs, we work with you on building your dog’s confidence and independence, which is extremely important for all dogs (and people)!
We also offer CGC, CGCA and CGCU (Public Access) training for Therapy and Service Dogs and are certified for AKC Canine Good Citizen Evaluations.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know which dog training program will be right for me and my dog?
One of our dog trainers, Laurie or Sarah, will consult with you on the right course of action based on your training goals that we discuss during your initial phone consultation.
When is the best time to start training my dog?
The earlier the better! We recommend you start training your dog at 10 to 12 weeks of age.
Do You Offer Puppy Training?
Absolutely. Our beginner obedience class is perfect for puppies between 3 months of age or older.
Besides Group Classes, What Other Types of Dog Training Do You Offer?
Good question! We realize that dog training classes do not fit in with everyone’s lifestyle and schedule.
We offer private drop-off training sessions at our facility and in-home dog training upon request. We also offer service dog training and AKC/Canine Good Citizen training.
Do you provide AKC Canine Good Citizen Courses?
In fact, we do! Our Canine Good Citizen (CGC) Class is a training program that’s open to all dogs, no matter their age or breed. It focuses on teaching the basics of good manners and obedience, instilling the values of responsible ownership, and strengthening the bond between you and your dog at home and out in the community.
One of our big goals during this program is to help you and your dog develop the ten skills needed to pass the CGC evaluation developed by the American Kennel Club (AKC).
CGCA and CGCU programs are also available.
I work regular hours and can't break away during the day. What are my options?
We have good news for you! PawSessions offers group dog training classes in the evenings on Mondays and Tuesdays. We have a variety of time slots available for training on Saturdays.
My dog is a biter. Can you still help me?
Yes. We are equipped and trained to handle your dog if they have a bite history (even with humans). In this case we will start out with private, in-person dog training sessions until we are confident your dog can handle one of our group classes.
How much time do I have to commit to training my dog outside of the 1x/week group sessions?
We recommend you practice what you learn in class at least 10-15 minutes per day during the rest of the week. Practice makes perfect!
How much personal attention will my dog and I receive in a class at PawSessions?
PawSessions has a bigger emphasis on doing and practice, which differs from some dog training programs where the trainer tends to talk most of the time. We will have you practicing and refining your dog training techniques the vast majority of the time!
Additionally, we cap our group classes at around 6 total. This gives us time to give every dog owner and every dog the personal attention they deserve!
What sort of information will you need from me before I begin a dog training class?
Our process at PawSessions is pretty simple. We will get you on the phone for a quick, 15-30 minute consultation so we can discuss your dog’s breed, age, temperament, what issues they are presenting, and what prior training they’ve had. This will help us select the right class based on the dog’s current situation.
After this, just show up at our facility, pay for your package of 6 sessions, and you’re ready to train!
