About My Two Dogs Dog Grooming & Dog Training

My Two Dogs works from 134 Boerum St in Bushwick and describes itself as Brooklyn's friendly experts for dog grooming and training. Unusually for a business with both, the training is not an afterthought: it has its own email address, its own class schedule and its own trainers.

Where the training happens

Group dog training classes are held in Bushwick and Williamsburg. Private training is available in the home or online, and puppy training runs both virtually and in person. Classes for puppies start from six weeks old and run to six months, in private, virtual and group formats.

The approach

The stated method is a personalized one covering everything from puppy and basic manners to behavioral issues, and the site puts its principle plainly: they do not train in a box, they use real-life situations. The reasoning offered is that what works for one dog may not work for another, so the offering is deliberately varied – group classes and customized private packages for puppies through adults. For owners unsure which format suits them, the site invites a conversation with a trainer to decide, and has a 'help me decide what group class is right for me' route rather than making the owner guess.

The grooming side

Grooming operates from the same Boerum Street address, serving the Greenpoint, Williamsburg and Bushwick neighborhoods, open Tuesday to Saturday. The site's stated aim for grooming is that the dog's experience of it should be an enjoyable one – which for a dog who dislikes handling is the difference between a routine appointment and a fight.

Professional membership

The site displays membership of professional organizations, and directs training questions to a dedicated training address rather than the general inbox.
