Mastering Canine Training in New York A Comprehensive Guide

New York, the city that never sleeps, pulses with energy, diversity, and a plethora of dog breeds that call it home. Amidst the hustle and bustle of the Big Apple, canine companions stand as loyal companions, but even the most well-behaved dogs sometimes need a bit of guidance. Canine Training in NY offers a myriad of opportunities to refine your furry friend's behavior, ensuring harmony in the urban jungle.

One of the primary objectives of canine training is to foster a strong bond between the dog and its owner. Through positive reinforcement techniques, trainers in New York emphasize building trust and communication between the human and canine counterparts. Whether it's teaching basic commands like sit, stay, or heel, or addressing more complex behavioral issues, such as excessive barking or leash aggression, training programs in the city cater to dogs of all ages and backgrounds.

In a city as diverse as New York, canine training classes reflect the melting pot of cultures and lifestyles. From puppy kindergarten classes in Brooklyn to advanced obedience courses in Manhattan, there's something for every dog and owner duo. Many training facilities also offer specialized programs tailored to specific breeds, such as herding or working dogs, recognizing that different breeds have unique needs and instincts.

Beyond obedience training, New York's canine community thrives on a variety of dog sports and activities. From agility and flyball to scent work and dock diving, these activities not only provide physical exercise but also stimulate the dog's mind and foster a sense of accomplishment. Participating in such activities can strengthen the bond between dog and owner while providing an outlet for energy and instincts.

For those unable to attend in-person classes, the digital age has opened up a world of online resources for canine training. Webinars, video tutorials, and virtual training sessions offer convenient alternatives for busy New Yorkers, allowing them to access expert guidance from the comfort of their homes. These online platforms often cover a wide range of topics, from basic obedience to specialized training techniques, catering to the diverse needs of dog owners in the city.

In addition to formal training programs, New York offers abundant opportunities for socialization, an essential aspect of a dog's development. Dog parks, meet-up groups, and canine-friendly events abound in the city, providing ample opportunities for dogs to interact with their peers in a controlled environment. Socialization not only helps prevent behavioral problems but also promotes confidence and well-being in dogs, ensuring they feel comfortable and secure in various situations.

Ultimately, canine training in New York is more than just teaching commands or correcting behavior; it's about nurturing a strong, mutually respectful relationship between dogs and their owners. By investing time and effort into training and socialization, New Yorkers can enjoy a harmonious coexistence with their canine companions, whether navigating the bustling streets of Manhattan or relaxing in the tranquility of Central Park.

mastering canine training in New York is a journey that encompasses obedience, socialization, and enrichment. With a wealth of resources and opportunities available in the city, dog owners can embark on this journey with confidence, knowing that they have the support and expertise needed to help their furry friends thrive in the urban jungle.

[emiko-matsui]

hello this is my official list of what i think every member of the bau would work with if they wouldn't work at the bau like if that wasn't a reality you get me

——

Jason Gideon: look i know this is technically canon but i truly do think he would be an author and would guest lecture a bit in his later years and like sure he could still write true crime books but also just regular crime novels i think this old man would just like to write

Jennifer "JJ" Jareau: i think she would work inside of the media, not in front of the camera necessarily but as a communicator or similarly inside of the media and the news. however i think there's a possibility of a divergence of path for her, i think its possible she could end up in a hostage situation due to her job in a similar situation like in neon terror and would start working out as a coping mechanism and like genuinely would pick up a (extra?) job as a personal trainer at her gym

Derek Morgan: firefighter. that's it i don't know what to say other than that, derek would 500% be a firefighter. there's nothing else. now that i think about it derek should've been a firefighter from the beginning fuck the bau this is his true calling don't even @ me

Elle Greenaway: similarly to JJ i think elle would work inside of the media but as an investigative journalist. well i think she would start out as a regular journalist but become an investigative journalist after a while because her drive would be too big you get me. also niche but i think that when she was a teen she was like briefly a singer like you know robin from how i met your mother but she would've made angry girl music

Aaron "Hotch" Hotchner: genuinely don't think this punk could stay away from the government so i think he would still work a fancy government job just not inside of the bau, maybe not even the fbi but i so think he'd still be in government. now what i have no idea because i know nothing about the government especially the american government seeing as im not even remotely american

David "Dave" Rossi: now i don't even know if this fucking counts but you know those really fancy shops that are like made of dark smelling wood and is called something extravagant with a cursive gold font and they sell like cigar or wine or herbal products or like mustache wax or whatever the fuck you know the places im talking about. i think rossi would work there and be that old man at the counter who will come up and talk to you and you have no idea if he just works there and is really invested in this stuff or if he owns the place or just a really weird costumer but then he's the one you pay too so you assume it's his but the moment you step out of the store you've forgotten his face and you never want to go back there but you always think about it once a month or something. if you don't know what kinda place im talking about consider yourself lucky

Penelope Garcia: if the bau wasn't even a prospect here there's no question that penelope would still be a hacker illegally and make most of her money from there but i also think that she would work in a small second hand shop with lots of old trinkets and clothes and stuff just because she genuinely thinks it's fun to work there and also the old woman who owns the shop lets her be on the computer when there's no costumers in the store. i just think she would sit there in her cupcake dress next to a ceramic old cat from the 1930s talking to bernice about her grandson while hacking jeff bezos on her computer

Spencer Reid: now it's time for spencer all over the place reid who i think would work at like one of those really prestige but still public libraries where like everyone is welcome but they have like locked rooms with super valuable books and stuff and he kinda does whatever there bc sometimes he gives tours talking about thr history of the building and stuff and sometimes you find him at the counter ready to guide you to the specific book you're looking for plus twenty other recommendations you should read if you like this book and sometimes you find him in a window reading and his coworkers politely ignore he's had his "break" for three hours now bc he guided 17 tours yesterday (only ten were scheduled) and they suspect he mightve slept here. plus in his spare time i think he would do some independent work to keep him stimulated with stuff but that's not a fully developed idea yet

Stephen Walker: this might be controversial but i think stephen would be a guidance counsellor at like a school and i don't know why but he has the vibe and i think he would be quite good at it. maybe he just gives me more official jawbone vibes from dimension 20

Emily Prentiss: i firmly believe this woman cannot hold down a job for her life. i think the bau and interpol were flukes in her reality because im quite certain emily would physically not be able to keep one job for longer than a year. if you mention a job she's probably done it. she's done everything from high positions in government to bagging groceries to leading seminars to breeding puppies. listen emily prentiss is a lesbian ex goth trust fund kid (like canonically yall). i think right now she's working with the lights for a theatre production and she's liking it and seems to have a knack for it

Tara Lewis: this one's out there but i think she would work as a principal at a university (do universities have principals?). but like the one who's in charge of a school but like advanced studies with like adults study after they've already studied if you know what i mean. idk i just think that's what she would be

Luke Alvez: hate to do this to luke but he would simply just be a cop. or like a detective (that's like a promotion for a cop in america right? bro my knowledge extends to brooklyn 99 and brooklyn 99 only). i hope this is because i feel like luke is the serious crime version of jake peralta and jake is the sitcom version of luke. anyway, cop

Matt Simmons: this is my magnum opus but bro i think he would be a podcaster. i think he would do a podcast with kristy. for everyone who follows my blog think justin and sydnee mcelroy but matt is sydnee. i think they would have a little podcast together. after his unit at the fbi (?) got got by linda barnes i think he would retire home and start doing podcasting full time with kristy. this is my hot take

Kate Callahan: because such a central part of kate's personality/backstory is that her sister died in 9/11 i think that kate would've been a nurse. specifically a nurse not a doctor and i don't think it's because a lack of competence or anything like that fuck u no i genuinely think kate wanted to be a nurse and chose to study to become that. her hours would still be crazy but maybe meg isn't as worried about her now

Ashley Seaver: i don't have a lot for seaver but i think she would work in local government more centralised like those guys from parks and rec and yes i realise ive made way too many references that some people might not understand but here we are. i think seaver would do whatever leslie does in parks and rec or something like that

Alex Blake: this is just a formality to have her on here because she's literally a linguistics professor in the show

[blouisparadise]

“So I’m simply your guest, am I?” Louis asks, before leaning up and kissing Harry.

4) (Quiet Like A Fight) Fingers Laced Together | Mature | 17480 words

Harry’s breath catches as the glow grows bigger and bigger until he’s squinting his eyes and blinking at the sudden intense brightness. He closes his eyes, rubbing at them helplessly. When his eyes open again- he gasps, grip loosening on his bow as he gawks at the sight before him.

Because the swan is gone.

And in its place is the prettiest omega Harry has ever seen.

reductress went straight for the jugular and i’m screaming

In an adorable story out of Brooklyn, NY, 25-year-old Monica Kowalczyk has expressed a desire to start working out but is concerned she is going to get “too ripped”.

“I would like to be stronger, and I think exercising more would be really good for my mental health,” says Monica. “But I don’t want to be, like, superhero jacked. That’s not really my style.”

Aww! Okay, we’re kind of in love with this version of reality where a person can get Marvel-film-preparation-personal-trainer-ripped by accidentally doing a few too many push-ups.

“I got a yoga mat and I’ve been working out a little in my room — mostly stuff I remember from warm-ups in high school PE,” Monica says. “It’s actually been nice, but I need to make sure I don’t go too crazy with it. I’m not the type of person to have, like, washboard abs. I find that kind of scary.”

Wow! This woman’s perception of muscle building is like a puppy who thinks a big lizard is its mom: really confused but really sweet.

And Monica’s concerns don’t stop there.

“Beyond not wanting to get too ripped, I also just want to keep a chill attitude toward the whole thing,” Monica says, taking a water and phone break after doing one downward dog. “Like, I’ve thought about running, but I don’t want to get addicted to running. I’ve known people like that, and it really consumed their whole personality. Plus it’s bad for your joints anyway.”

Go off, Monica. We don’t think that you’re at high risk of getting addicted to running, but we admire that you’re taking the possibility seriously.

“I still want to continue my fitness journey; I might even get some weights, but I just want to be careful,” Monica says. “It’s no judgment toward the yoked community, but that lifestyle just isn’t for me, and you can slip into it without even realizing.”

“Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m gonna go make a grilled cheese and take a nap”

A beautiful, undeniably sad piece. I feel for the reader. I really do.

Into the flames - @star-spangled-man-with-a-plan

This fic was short and sweet but it told a lot about firefighter Bucky and his relationship with his girlfriend. It was very tender and sweet at the end, and I loved that so much.

Mob!Bucky with his little girl - @buckycuddlebuddy

It’s a drabble really, but it’s such a sweet one that it melts my very soft heart.

No touching - @evanstarff

This little piece is both sensual and sweet at the same time. I’m not sure how Maggie crams passion into so few words, but I’m not complaining. I’m just here to enjoy the ride.

Training session - @mypoisonedvine

I would also want a hug and cuddle with trainer Buck. This was very sweet. I loved it!

Chris is so powerful that even the really short BPs get me reeling. This isn’t any different.

A cute little fake Instagram post/story that made my day when I read it.

STEVE ROGERS (MARVEL)

Mini-series/Series

Older Steve in love and in lust has my heart as much as his younger self. Maggie does him justice, whatever form he’s in. No matter what point in his life he is. I just love seeing Steve through her writing.

Cats, Children, and Comfortable: 72246-3 years old, 52 lb atum Super cute, friendly outgoing, loose &tail- waggy with handlers, tived in harmony with another dog ATBROOKLYNACO WATTING FOR A GOOD HOME TO BE KILLED - 8/22/2019 ADORABLE BABY-FACED TATUM has the face of a puppy but he's actually 3 years old. Tatum was once chosen to become a part of a family. He was adored, promised forever, and then abandoned without the slightest consideration. Tatum was so delighted to belong, to cherish, protect and serve. He lived in harmony with his family and sought approval from the home he thought would always reciprocate his unconditional love. Forever to a doggie means forever till their last breathe, and though they don’t live that long, each moment spent is done so with only tenderness, and affection toward their family and we're pretty certain this was the case for adorable Tatum. The tragedy here is that despite betrayal, Tatum (like most dogs) continues to love the home that discarded him and would stop at nothing for them. The beauty in this tragedy is the pureness of Tatum's heart to love again. This is why he deserves a loving home who will not renege on this promise. Tatum is out of time today and badly in need of second chance in a good home. Please help us share this cutie so he isn't overlooked. TATUM@BROOKLYN ACC Hello, my name is Tatum My animal id is #72246 I am a male tan dog at the Brooklyn Animal Care Center The shelter thinks I am about 3 years old, 52 lb Came into shelter as ACO impound 8/10/2019 Tatum is rescue only Tatum was placed at risk due to behavioral concerns; Although he has shown some improvement, Tatum remains overall aloof and fearful during his interactions in the care center.

Place with a New Hope partner: Although he has shown some improvement, Tatum remains overall aloof and fearful during his interactions in the care center. Due to these observations, combined with the intensity of his resource guarding behavior, we feel he would be best set up to succeed if placed with an experienced rescue partner who can help manage these behaviors and decompress in a more stable environment, prior to seeking permanent placement. Force-free, reward based training only is advised when introducing or exposing Tatum to new and unfamiliar situations, as well as utilizing guidance from a qualified, professional trainer/behaviorist. Potential challenges: : Resource guarding,Fearful/potential for defensive aggression,Anxiety,On-leash reactivity/barrier frustration,Strength/leash pulling Potential challenges comments:: Resource guarding: During his assessment, Tatum displayed resource guarding behavior when introduced to a plush squeaky toy where he was observed to tense, lunge, growl and bite. Tatum refocused readily and traded for high value treats. Please refer to the handout for Resource guarding Fearful/potential for defensive aggression: Although Tatum has shown some improvement and accepts some contact, he remains fearful when introduced or exposed to new situations where he has been observed to be wary of interacting, displays a tense body and hard stares toward staff. Tatum has escalated to hard barking and snapping when uncomfortable (observed during his initial medical exam and while in his kennel). Tatum should never be forced to interact or approach if he is not comfortable and positive association should be paired with anything he displays fear toward. Please refer to the handout for Fearful/potential for defensive aggression. Anxiety: On-leash reactivity/barrier frustration: Tatum exhibits on-leash reactivity/barrier frustration during his interactions in the care center, where he has been observed to lunge and hard bark toward novel dogs.

Small Business Spotlight Series: Best Boutique Wellness Studios in the NY Metro Area

Spring has officially arrived and with the change in weather often comes a newfound surge of energy, and opportunity for renewal. New York is arguably the capital of health start-ups that cater to self-improvement, and mental health is equally as important to physical health. In addition to the ever-growing fitness scene, wellness studios, which focus on mindfulness, meditation and well-being are popping up all over the city. We like to think of them as gyms for the soul. 

No one knows this city better than our very own agents, so we asked them to tell us about their favorite wellness studios and spaces in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. While these small businesses offer an array of services, they all provide peaceful and energizing respites from our agents’ busy lives. 

WOOM Center The Bowery, NYC

A studio that specializes in multi-sensory meditation, the WOOM Center is particularly popular for its sound vibration therapy. After a relaxing sound bath, you can head to the café for nourishing juices and superfood products.

Chapter 8

“Ah, fuck!”

Jimin giggled as Hoseok tried to thread the machine for the fourth time in a row. “D’you want to take a break, Hobi?”

Hoseok groaned and leaned back in the chair, frustration pouring through his veins. He fucking hated that fucking machine so much. “Please.”

Another giggle and the machine was turned off, both of them leaving the room to go to the dining room, about the same size as Jin and Joon’s dining room/kitchen.

“Do you want to get take out?”

Hoseok shook his head, stretching his arms in front of him. “Nah, I think I might go back to Jin and Joon’s. It’s been like six days.”

Jimin nodded, opening a cupboard and pulling out a sleeve of biscuits, putting one in his mouth and then offering the sleeve to Hoseok. “I bet you they’ve been riding these past few days. No talking, just having a grand old time.”

Hoseok choked on his biscuit and threw the rest at the giggling Jimin, who dodged it gracefully. “Ah, fuck off! I live there too, you fucker.”

“You’re a feckin gobshaw. How long’s it been since you had a casual line?”

Hoseok burned red, stuffing another biscuit in his mouth.

“A casual line is-”

“I know what a fucking casual line is and the answer is no, I haven’t had sex with anyone since my relationship with Joshua started going down the shitter.” Hoseok bit out in one breath, face turning an even brighter shade of red because of the lack of air.

“Well, we’re fixing that then, aren’t we?” Taehyung walked into the dining room, eyes half-open and a smirk on his face. “Tonight the bar isn’t open, on account it’s Sugar and Day’s anniversary. Can’t believe they’ve been together for over fifteen years. That’s commitment.”

Hoseok raised his eyebrows in what could be surprise, shock or just plain old admiration at that statement, making Jimin and Taehyung giggle and chuckle respectively.

“But, back to the point, we can go out to a gay club and hook you up with someone.”

Hoseok chewed on the inside of his cheek, weighing his options. Option one was going to the bar with his friends, having fun and maybe even scoring a date, option two was staying at home and hogging his sister’s Netflix account to watch Brooklyn Nine-Nine for the tenth time in a row.

“Come on, please? Even if we don’t get you a casual line, you’re still gonna have fun.” Jimin pouted and gave Hoseok his best puppy dog eyes, and Taehyung followed, both of them too fucking much to handle at once.

“Alright fine! I’ll just need to go home and change. And pray to God that there’s nothing sticky anywhere near my room.”

-

The whole flat smelled like parmesan cheese and shrimp, a massive pot of parmesan risotto and roasted shrimp simmering. A soft thump from the main bedroom and Hoseok was already regretting coming home.

“Ah fuck.”

Hoseok swallowed the shriek that was threatening to escape his mouth and he tiptoed his way to his room, closing the door after shouting. “I am back home!”

The subsequent sounds of people stumbling and hitting parts of others that were tender would have been hilarious, but right now, Hoseok was more mortified than anything, having literally walked into the flat mid-sex. He pressed his ear against his bedroom door listening intently for when the three lovebirds left the main bedroom. The door clicked open and three sets of footsteps left, a hushed goodbye and the unmistakable sound of four soft kisses and then the front door closing.

“Ah, the food!” Jin’s screech made Hoseok flinch so violently he smacked his head against his door. He stepped away from it, a hand pressed against his forehead, soft muttered curses leaving his lips.

“Can I come in?”

Hoseok walked back towards the door and pulled it open, giving Joon a half-pained, half-embarrassed smile. “Hi.”

Joon laughed, pushing his newly-dyed tresses out of his face, pink-streaked blonde reaching his jawline instead of his lower back. “Hi, Hoseok.”

“You cut your hair.” Hoseok blurted out, trying hard to avoid mentioning anything concerning what was happening before he came home. “Looks good.”

“Ah, yeah. I needed to cut my hair, it was starting to get ridiculous how long it was.” Joon cleared his throat, motioning towards the kitchen. “Jin’s made enough food for an army.” He gave Hoseok a warm smile and went to join his partner in the kitchen, not without tripping on Hoseok’s discarded shoes in the corridor. With a short huffed laugh and a rueful rub of his forehead, he followed suit, walking to the kitchen to find an equally pink-haired Jin plating his risotto in the biggest bowls they had. Joon was sitting at the table, hair pulled back into a bun with a pencil stabbed through it.

“So, Hoseok, how was your self-imposed exile out of our flat?” Jin turned to look at him with a bright smile, outstretching a hand to give Hoseok one of the bowls, gesturing at the table to make him go sit down.

“Intrusive. Jimin and Tae really like to gossip, don’t they?”

“Oh, yeah. I think it’s because they are approachable that people tell them a lot of things. What did they get out of you?”

Hoseok shoved a spoonful of risotto into his mouth, bright blush on his face. They’d managed to get him to spill his first time and deviant nature in uni, and now more recently the fact he hadn’t had sex for three months. “We’re going to a gay club tonight.”

“Ah, well, I hope you have fun. Clubbing with Jimin and Tae is a trip. Clubbing in general is a trip” Joon raised his glass of water slowly, muttering into it before taking a sip “Used to be literal.”

Jin’s stern look at Joon and Hoseok’s wide eyes alerted the pink-blond that his whisper hadn’t gone unheard. He swallowed his mouthful of water, shrugging slightly.

“I had my moments in uni. Don’t judge me, music students are wild.” Joon took a bite of his bowl of risotto, looking straight at Jin with an impassive face, making the elder sigh and shake his head.

“So the lesson here is keep an eye on your drink, don’t accept anything from strangers and use protection.” Jin sang out, giving Hoseok a wide smile. The risotto was taken off the heat, lid replaced on the pot and Jin walking towards the table with his own bowl of food. “Which club are you going to?”

“I don’t know, they told me that they would pick me up at 10, and to dress nice.” Hoseok took a sip of Ribena, which had been handed to him by Jin. “Also they said you were invited. All three of you.”

Hoseok cackled when Joon and Jin both simultaneously choked on risotto and water respectively. “Vindication!”

“Was that a fucking Brooklyn Nine-Nine reference?”

-

Hoseok walked out of his room, wearing his nicer clothes. A white shirt with cursive black script on the chest tucked into black jeans, an olive green bomber over the shirt, a gift from his sister. The choker around his neck was also from his sister, but he’d stolen it from her room when he was first leaving for uni. His white trainers were recently washed, so they were a pristine white that was definitely being ruined by the end of the night.

“You look good! I love the bomber.” Joon was standing next to the door to his and Jin’s room, dressed to the nines in a loose black v-neck under a black leather jacket, the shirt tucked into his black skinny jeans. His shoes were heavy steel-toed black boots, laced up over the jeans. His hair was tied back haphazardly, some strands falling into his eyes, showing off the heavy black studs in his ears, silver hoops climbing up, matching the hoop hanging from his choker. Hoseok had to swallow the dry lump in his throat (Holy fuck, where had this side of Joon been hiding?), but his response was interrupted by Jin opening the door and walking out, also dressed beautifully. The black shirt was a specific kind of shiny that said fine silk, the choker was soft velvet, and his shoes were beautiful black leather. His left ear sported a drip of red, and he looked absolutely beautiful.

“Do you two not know any setting other than extra as all fuck?” Hoseok blurted out, suddenly feeling shabby.

“If you think this is extra, then obviously you haven’t seen Jimin go out clubbing.” Joon chuckled, standing up straight and checking his jacket pockets to make sure his keys and wallet were there. Hoseok pursed his lips and jumped slightly when his phone buzzed in his jeans pocket.

Minnie

Come on down, we’re here.

“The terrible twosome is here.” Hoseok smiled wide and bright when Jin laughed, the squeakiness of it making the other two laugh as well. “Let���s go.”

When they got downstairs, Hoseok was most definitely not ready for what Jimin was wearing. The petite 22 year-old was wearing light blue skinny jeans, ripped to shit and showing the wide-gap fishnet tights underneath. The waistband of the tights showed over the waistband of the jeans, made even more apparent by the see-through black crop top with an opaque black panel across that read FUCK in white block letters, and over that he wore a wine-red velveteen bomber that matched the velveteen, block-heel boots on his feet. Joon and Jin looked over at Hoseok, who was sporting a rose blush on his cheeks, and chuckled.

“What-what-what the fuck?”

Jimin giggled, running a hand through his hair. “Why not? I look good.”

“I agree.” Taehyung piped up, wrapping his arms around Jimin’s middle and tugging him close, a smirk on his face.

“Well, you’re dating him!”

“Leave the antics for the low lights. This is a nice neighborhood.” Jin snapped his fingers at them. “Leave room for innocence.”

Tae mock-pouted and stepped a centimeter away from his boyfriend, lace overcoat-like robe fluttering behind him when a breeze went by. If anything, he was the most dressed down, white shirt, black jeans and black trainers under lace, but his poise and beauty made it look like something made by a high-end designer.

“We texted Jungkook the address, he’ll meet us there. Something about having to paint the floor of the art studios for the private view.” Jimin waved his phone and then tucked it into his jacket, turning on his heel to start walking to the bar, giving all of them an eyeful of the massive rips underneath his butt.

“Good Christ, Jimin!”
