About Paws & Rec Inc.

Paws & Rec works from 857 4th Avenue in the Greenwood and Sunset Park area and describes itself as Brooklyn-based cage-free dog care with all services under one roof, with certified dog handlers staffed around the clock, bonded and insured. Its trademarked line is that an active dog is a happy dog.

The services

Five are published: dog walks, daycare, boarding, grooming and training, with outdoor space called out separately – a genuine asset for a Brooklyn facility, where most daycares are entirely indoors.

The training

Training is a named service with its own section and a head trainer, run in the same building as the daycare and boarding. For an owner already using the facility, that means a behavior problem can be addressed by people who see the dog regularly and in a group setting, rather than by a trainer meeting the dog cold for an hour.

The walking options

The walk menu is more considered than most: sixty minutes as a brisk neighborhood walk with other dogs, thirty minutes for relief or for less active dogs, and a solo walk of fifteen to thirty minutes for dogs who prefer to be on their own. That last option matters for reactive or anxious dogs who cannot cope with a group.

Practical

Rates are published on the site's rates page, and the business lists a phone number and email at the Fourth Avenue address. Anyone booking specifically for training should ask which programs are currently running and who leads them, since the site names the service and the head trainer role without publishing a credential.
