About Woofs & Whiskers

Woofs & Whiskers is listed on Perry Street in the West Village and trades online as PetHaus, a small concierge-style operation covering care and training.

Training

One-on-one training is one of four published services and it has its own curriculum page and booking availability rather than being sold on enquiry. The promise the site makes for it is modest and specific: personalized coaching that sticks.

The founder

Emma Louise is described as a veterinary technician and certified trainer with more than fifteen years in animal care and shelter volunteering, with experience in elderly, medication-dependent, anxious, reactive and behavioral cases. The veterinary-technician side is worth noting for an owner whose dog needs medication or has a medical component to its behavior.

The other services

Vacation and travel cover — overnight care at home while owners are away — daytime care for cats, puppies and anxious dogs, and private neighborhood walks with one or two dogs at a time.

Who it suits

An owner in the West Village who wants a single, small provider for both care and training, and particularly one adopting a rescue or bringing home a first puppy, which is the case the site addresses directly.
