About New York Walk & Train

New York Walk & Train carries a Second Avenue address in Manhattan; the site behind it belongs to Far Fetched Acres, the country camp where the boarding and much of the training actually happen. Owners booking here should understand that geography before they start: the sales relationship is in the city, the stay is not.

Training offers

The published training products are board and train, puppy camp, and in-home training, sold alongside luxury boarding and a midweek escape package. Dog transportation is offered as its own service, which is what makes the out-of-city model workable for a Manhattan owner.

The facility

A 10,000 square foot purpose-built building with open fields for size-based playgroups, private cabins and suites, a complimentary departure bath, and details the site describes as deliberate — bedding, calming scents and sound therapy — aimed at a dog that rests rather than one that comes home exhausted.

Who runs the training

Colleen Safford is named as the lead, described as one of New York's most recognized trainers, heading a senior accredited training team grounded in canine behavior expertise.

Extras

Internships and apprenticeships are advertised, along with a client portal, a blog and themed events.
