Shelly Leibowitz

Shelly Leibowitz is no stranger to the smile that comes from being around dogs. With over 40 years of experience and thousands of satisfied customers, Shelly Leibowitz is one of the most sought-after dog trainers in the United States.

His passion for dogs started as child when he began walking neighborhood pups and working for different training facilities over the years. In his teen years, he began his career training companion dogs in the New York City area, and quickly expanded his skillset to include training canines for security, contraband, and bomb detection duties.

Today, he trains dogs for a wide range of clients and collaborates with lawyers and judges to help rescue and rehabilitate problematic dogs. An expert in importing dogs, he’s committed to pairing clients with their perfect match. He also serves as a mentor and has taught many students how to become professional dog trainers.

For Leibowitz, working with dogs has always been more than a job, it’s the way he runs his life.

Questions About Boarding:

Do I need to provide my dog with beds and blankets?

No - we have more than enough here! We keep all rooms fully stocked with bedding and rotate through blankets on a daily basis for sanitary purposes.

Do I need to bring in my own food for my dog or do you provide food?

We always recommend bringing your own food! We want to maintain as much of your dog's normal schedule as possible - and this includes food. The best practice is to pre-package each meal in small zip-lock bags ahead of time, labelled with the date and time of each meal.

My dog has dietary restrictions; can you follow them?

Of course! At check-in, we review every aspect of your dog's stay with us - including how they eat, what the eat and when. Please make sure to communicate all of yours dog's needs to our concierge team to ensure their perfect experience.

Can my dogs stay in the same suite together?

Of course! Please let us know if there are any times where you would prefer to separate them (ex: feeding separately, walking separately) so we can ensure their perfect experience.
