About PAWSIES

PAWSIES runs dog daycare, boarding and training from its own facilities at 928 Flushing Ave in Bushwick and 1468 Fulton St in Bed-Stuy, serving East Williamsburg, Bushwick and surrounding neighborhoods. It is BBB accredited.

The stated specialism

The front of the site is a claim about difficulty rather than comfort: specialized in behavioral transformation, having taken the most challenging dogs in the community and resolved their issues through training, socialization and personalized care. Its line – when other facilities say no, we say yes – is the clearest statement of position among Brooklyn's daycare-plus-training businesses, and it matters, because a reactive or under-socialized dog is exactly the dog most facilities decline.

How the facility supports that

The space is designed to separate dogs into groups by size, play style and temperament, which is the structural prerequisite for taking on harder dogs safely rather than simply saying yes to everything.

Who runs the training

All training programs are led by Ivan Gamba, the CEO, described as a certified Master Dog Trainer known for helping dogs and owners build better habits, stronger communication and real-life reliability. He describes growing up surrounded by dogs and founding PAWSIES after years of intensive training and hands-on experience, as a space for owners seeking experienced professional handlers in a facility designed for dogs' comfort.

What you can book

Group classes and private training sit alongside daycare, boarding and baths, with a Master Pass and memberships available. Hours are 7am to 7pm on weekdays and 8am to 5pm at weekends, with published holiday rates and a client app.
