City Dog Pack

Miguel and his team love dogs, I mean these guys have an Instagram feed for dog love. They are responsible, reliable keep small packs and offer training advice and consulting. I highly recommend them — they rock.

An amazing service and resource! Miguel and his team of walkers have been walking my goldendoodle, Jessie, for over a year and a half. They are responsible, professional, and caring. You know your dog is safe and well-​cared for when they are out with City Dog Pack walkers. Jessie is happy and balanced, and I know I owe a lot of Jessie’s happiness to Miguel and the City Dog Pack. They take him on long walks each day, and he comes home happy and tired. Additionally, Miguel has been our training coach since Jessie was a puppy. When we started, Jessie wouldn’t walk well with me – used to lie down on the sidewalk. I worked with multiple trainers, but the behavior continued – until we met Miguel. After our first training session, Jessie started walking miles with me. And anytime I encounter a problem behavior, Miguel has been able to work me through it. I really think he is the best dog trainer around. He really loves working with dogs, and they love him. Jessie is a proud pack member these days. If you are looking for a walker or trainer, you will be thrilled to connect with City Dog Pack.

Miguel is hands down the best dog walker I’ve used in my 3 years of having a dog. His expertise as a Marine who used to train dogs overseas, as well as his love and compassion for the animals makes him a wonderful ambassador for well-​behaved animals all over the city. I had the pleasure of attending one of his free sunday morning dog agility classes (68^th street between 1^st and 2^nd avenues at 9am) and saw how he and his team of caring dog lovers helped both beginners and more advanced dogs handle the course. Within the hour class, I saw how he effectively handled dogs, spoke to the owners about how to help the dogs maneuver. Additionally, tons of his dog walking clients come to this weekly event. It was then and there I decided that my Sadie needed to work with Miguel on a regular basis. We started with an hour walk, which quickly lead to Sadie walking about 2 hours with Miguel. He is fair and doesn’t charge you over what you agreed but if he feels your dog can handle the extra time, he will happily walk them longer. Additionally, he is bonded and insured (both of which he promptly showed me when I asked for proof) and he has you sign a contract, which for me, makes me feel that he values his business just as much as you value your patronage. He wants you to be happy and to know what you’re getting. OK, back to the dog walking. Sadie has (excuse the TMI) «eliminated» so much more effectively than she did prior to the walks. Her body is working better with the extra execrise and she doesn’t lunge at passing dogs with the same strength as she did prior to Miguel. Her pack walks (no more than 4 dogs total) help socialize her as well as well as tire her out. We’re now up to 5 days a week and both Sadie and I are so happy. I know i’m going on and on about Miguel and his team, but I truly believe he is an honest, hard working dog-​lover who wants to make each dog the best they can be. He trains, walks, does agility. I get texts with photos daily on her progress, facebook photos and instagram updates with my little girl. I’m beyond comfortable with him coming into my home and caring for my «baby.» My only regret is that we’re moving away and won’t be able to have Miguel come! I wish I had found Miguel early (i already told him that reviews on Unilocal would have led me to him sooner, which is why I’m writing a review now! every dog owner in nyc should have Miguel in their life!) I’m a thorough and incredibly careful dog-​mother and only want to enrich my girl’s life with verified products/​food/​situations. I can promise you you will amazed at how Miguel can transform yours and your dogs life. (I write this as Sadie is passed out on the floor from her walk!) Thanks Miguel! You are a gem!
