Domonique was our trainer to our first rescue dog "Floyd". He was rescued off the street in brooklyn, a very sweet pitbull but had a couple behavioral issues. 

On our first session Domonique was able to identify Floyds behavioral traits and gave us manageable and relatable training techniques. 
We saw a immediate change in Floyd after his first couple of classes. He was hardly pulling on his leash and was respecting our boundaries and rules. We have used Domonique for weeks after and have really learnt to understand our dogs behavior and to train him to the best of his ability. 

We would recommend Domonique to anyone who is looking to have a well trained dog and to become a well trained owner.

Last month, I went to Ireland for 12 days, leaving my 2-year-old Labrador Retriever with Domonique Pacitto.    Charcoal has been with our family since he was 11 weeks old.   We live in a brownstone in Brooklyn, and I met Domonique and her Newfoundland named Koda at a dog run, close to our home.   The Ireland trip was my son Barton's idea, and it took me several months to agree to go because I could not rest easy leaving Coal.   Barton reminded me that Coal, at the dog park, obviously responded enthusiastically to Domonique and suggested we ask her if we could board Coal at her place while he and I were gone.  So, this is how it went--Coal stayed with Domonique, Koda, Daniel, and Ashley for the 12 days we were gone, and he and they did beautifully.    When we returned, we found Coal in fine health and his usual happy spirits.    Domonique not only cared for him, she also cared for me, sending me emails often with videos attached showing Coal in her back yard playing with Koda, at the dog park with Koda and other dog friends, snuggling up to Domonique on the sofa, etc.  There was my boy, body and spirits intact!   And me miles away.
         I so wholeheartedly recommend Domonique if you need someone to care for and/or train your dog.  Domonique is tops!!

Domonique is a caring empathetic dog sitter and trainer who was quite honestly made to be doing this type of work. She works closely with her clients to ensure that all of the dog's needs are met and more. I noticed that after I would return from trips, not only was my dog happy and healthy, she was way better behaved too! Domonique is a true dog lover and you should not hesitate to work with her!

Let me start this off by saying, I've grown up with animals all my life and thought getting a puppy would be a natural thing for me. Turns out, I KNEW NOTHING! I read book after book and I could get normal things like sit and stay in my apt but in the outside world things were a mess.  Pulling while walking, freaking out to play with any dog he saw on the street, not paying attention, not listening, peeing wherever he wanted ( indoors too). It was the worst.   This cute little rescue puppy was quickly becoming the bane of my existence and getting stronger every day. 

ENTER DOMONIQUE.  After the first session He was sitting on his own, outside and ignoring everything except me.  She pointed out concessions that I was making with my dog, that were telling him it was ok and that he was leading me and not the other way around. In my first group class I was a nervous wreck that I was going to ruin everything for the other people with my dog but quickly found out that what I was taught by Dominique worked there too :)  
She helped me so much that there is no way I can thank her enough. I now have my best friend, who is a giant weirdo but he listens, he knows what is allowed and what is not okay.  My dog loves her and I mean LOVES her.  I can't recommend her strongly enough!! She made my dream of having a dog come true. Because of her I know that in every situation, I can handle him and he'll listen. Things that used to scare him ( bags in the wind, children yelling etc ) he now just looks to me to navigate it for him. Thank you so much, Domonique!
