About AbbyTheDogMom

Abby's Dog Care Services, trading as AbbyTheDogMom, is located in South Park Slope, Brooklyn, and describes itself as Brooklyn's premier dog care service. The owner states more than ten years doing this and lists CPR and first-aid certification and full insurance.

Where training fits

The published specialism is walking, socializing, sitting and boarding, and puppy basics training. The rates page carries a 'training and extras' line alongside weekday and weekend walks and daycare and boarding, so training is sold rather than mentioned. It is puppy-focused – foundations rather than behavior modification – and the site is honest about that scope rather than overstating it.

Who Abby is

A born-and-raised New Yorker from Rockland County who has lived in Brooklyn for eight years. She began volunteering at local shelters, fostering dogs and helping at adoption events, and one of the dogs she took in during the pandemic – Cha Cha, whose owner left New York and never returned – became part of her family. She left corporate work to do this full time, starting by walking neighborhood dogs and training friends' new puppies.

The neighborhood angle

The site describes rolling with a well-connected dog crew in the neighborhood, which is a real asset for the socialization side of puppy work: a young dog needs safe, known dogs to meet, and an established local network supplies them in a way a stranger-heavy dog run cannot.

Practical

Rates are published for walks, training and extras, and daycare and boarding, with the site's stated position being good prices for the owner's wallet as well as the dog. There is a team page, so more than one person handles the work.
