About Bark & Disco

Bark & Disco works from Charlotte Street in Ridgewood and describes itself as offering thoughtful, modern dog training for pet dogs in Brooklyn, Queens and the wider city. The site splits its work cleanly into two lanes, which makes it easy for an owner to place their own problem.

Behavior support

The first lane is the difficult end: dogs showing aggression, reactivity or anxiety. The site states that this is the owner's specialty, with over fifteen years spent on complex cases, and promises both short-term management and a longer-term plan rather than a single fix. Client accounts on the page describe leash-walking and reactivity work, sound sensitivity, and a dog made comfortable around another dog after half a dozen previous trainers had not managed it.

Life skills

The second lane is everyday competence: meeting a dog or puppy's enrichment and exercise needs while mastering the basics in settings full of distractions, which in this part of Queens means sidewalks, buses and dog-dense parks. A group class called Sidewalk Psychos is named by a client, and the practice also runs dog socialization sessions.

Formats

Bark & Disco publishes customized one-on-one training, enrichment sessions, helper-dog sessions and virtual sessions, and sells training packages to clients who already have a plan in place. There is also a Dog Training + Behavior Academy strand on the site.

Credentials

The owner is named on the site as Kate Senisi, CPDT-KA, LFDM-T, described as owner, behavior consultant and trainer.
