Isaac was an exceptional trainer for our dog. He explained everything in a clear, practical way, often using real-life examples that made the training process easy to understand and apply. He provided all the tools and guidance we needed for success and went above and beyond to support our carryover at home. On our final day of boarding, he spent as much time as we needed to make sure we felt confident. He even took us to HomeGoods for real-world training practice, which made a huge difference in helping our dog generalize skills in a busy environment. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience—highly recommend Isaac for anyone looking for a patient, knowledgeable, and truly invested trainer.

Isaac literally changed my life! While my dog, Willow, wasn’t the worst before, she certainly lacked boundaries and listening skills and was not the most fun to walk. With the help of Isaac, Willow and I actually have fun on walks now and I can take her to public spaces without much worry. I can also have friends over for dinner without constant barking and begging for food. She’ll even wait calmly and quietly in another room if needed. I’m so glad that we worked with Isaac and cannot recommend him enough!!

Over a four week period, Issac and his company Doggie Fit transformed our rambunctious and not so mannerly 3 year old chocolate lab into a well behaved happy, obedient and well-adjusted family companion. Issac is knowledgable, caring and a good communicator. He guided us through the process from beginning to end. We could not recommend Doggie Fit more. We placed our trust in Issac and our trust was rewarded. Thank you. Tia, Jack and Sisi, Rowayton, CT.

We sent our dog to the board and train because we had been struggling with loose leash walking for a year or so. Getting pulled on leash by a big dog is terrible and he’s done such a good job heeling ever since he came back. It is such a relief to be able to walk with him easily. We were worried about him losing his training after coming back, but so far we have followed Isaac’s instructions and everything is going well.

Issac has been amazing to work with! We have a one and a half year old, spirited and energetic Bernedoodle. He was able to train her to obey commands, walk without pulling on a leash, and also gave us the tools to have her off leash in safe spaces. He continues to support us with help, suggestions and guidance. We are grateful for his work and would recommend him to anyone looking for assistance with their dog.

Sending our 1 year old puppy, Callie, to Doggie Fit Training exceeded all my expectations of the program! Callie is very loving puppy, but is extremely high-energy, struggled with obedience in public, listening to our commands, chewing things in the house, and she always wanted to play every dog she saw on walks. As our family prepares for a newborn baby in a few months, we needed Callie to respect our authority more. Since coming back from the 3 week board and train, she has been outstanding!!! She walks right by our side on walks, even by other dogs, will come on command off leash (which was never reliable before) and has stopped chewing things around the house. We were so comfortable working with Isaac. He came to the house to meet Callie months before we signed up for the program to give us all the information we would need. Throughout the program, we received regular updates and videos too! Callie has made phenomenal progress, and we are so comfortable now with her skills leading up to the baby! We could not be happier with the results!

My dog transformed into a dream pet after training with Isaac for 3 weeks. We adopted a stray rescue, not realizing what we got ourselves into. He arrived loving, adorable, full of energy but with some very bad behaviors. 80% of the time he was a good, but we never knew when the reactive, lack of impulse control, crazy animal would come out. After training with doggie fit, and our family practicing diligently what was taught, our dog is a new and improved little guy! He has completely stopped pulling on walks, no longer barks excitedly / lunges at other dogs, stops on command when jumping or barking new visitors. Doesn’t pull or chase animals like a maniac anymore. He was jumpy and easily excited, this stops with a firm no. He no longer does a jump/bite game when we went on walks that scared me to the point that I had so much anxiety taking him out. This training truly exceeded my expectations beyond belief. None of this was aggression, just lack of training from being a stray. We hardly ever use the e-collar but it’s there just in case. We are so grateful for this program and finding Isaac.

Doggie Fit has been the best thing not only for us but for KYANA!!! Since the boarding training with Doggie Fit, KYANA can go out and enjoy life with us. In the past, I dreaded taking her for walks, I dreaded people coming over, I never even thought of taking her for a walk in the town center. Now she has a life that extends beyond the crate. Her life has been expanded as a result of having good predictable public behavior. What a joy it is to have a dog that has wonderful public behavior!!! Doggie Fit made it that we are all winners!!

5 stars simply isn’t enough for Doggie Fit Training. I rescued a purebred pitbull & didnt think i truly knew what i was getting myself into with her breed. Isaac was very knowledgable, teaching me things about her breed i didnt know. I signed Winnie up for the 3 week training program. My biggest problem was leash pulling & aggressiveness towards other dogs while on walks. I can now finally say walking is a breeze & i actually look forward to it! While training, Isaac texted me multiple times a week updating me on Winnies progress/what he would be training next & always included pics & videos. Winnie was stressed living downstairs with other dogs so he let me know he moved her out of that situation to make her more comfortable, he always has the best intentions for his pups. If your thinking about sending your dog to doggie fit.. do it!! You will not regret it!!

We are so grateful to Issac for his excellent work training our three year old dog, Sassy. Prior to working with Issac, Sassy was reactive and almost impossible to walk due to pulling. In just three short weeks, Issac transformed her and she is now a pleasure to walk. Issac is also great at communicating progress and updates while your dog is in his care. Thank you, Issac!

Doggiefit Training Isaac did a fantastic job with our 3-year old lab Sassy who was pulling too hard on the leash and being aggressive with other dogs while on walks. After a few weeks of training she is much better behaved and opens up the opportunity to do so much more with her. Thank you Isaac!

I have known Shantalle and her team for a good over 15 years. Not only did she take care of my Dog Angel, but my current one George. She is the most reliable and dependable person I know. There is no one I trust more. Her and her team are the whole package: caring/ knowledgeable/ dependable. She has helped me at the last minute and never batted an eye - with my ridiculous work and last minute travel schedule she always found how to make it work. She has always there for me through the good times and in my darkest hours. I am greatly blessed that my dog and I have her and her team in our lives. Thank you !❤️😊 Kimberly F.

Isaac trained our Bernedoodle Charlie who is now 123 lbs.! Charlie listens and responds to all our commands. Isaac was quiet, thoughtful, and very kind to Charlie and to us. Isaac is a talented trainer who cares very much about the dogs and their humans. We are very grateful for all the work he did with Charlie. We have a happy, obedient, and very sweet dog, mainly due to Isaac!

We had such a pleasant experience with isaac. Our pup did a 4 week board and train program with him. The difference after was night and day. We struggled with off leash recall among many other issues and he was able to correct them no problem. After boarding we had a few 1 on 1 sessions which were extremely helpful. Isaac was able to answer any questions we had and was not afraid to correct us if we were doing anything wrong. The amount of care and the attention to detail was great to see. He’s truly passionate about what he does Thanks again for everything isaac!

We have been sending our 2-year old pup Cooper to Doggie Fit with Shantalle & Isaac for over a year now whenever he needs an extended stay board (3+ nights). He absolutely loves it! Our dog is high energy, and we love that Doggie Fit has several outdoor areas for dogs to run around and get their energy out. Shantalle is the best and even picks up and drops off Cooper for an extra fee (which is a necessity for us when we're traveling). Shantalle separates her dogs by energy level so Cooper is always paired up well with his (very) playful friends when he does extended stays. Recently, we sent Cooper to a 4-week train and board with Isaac where he was taught some much needed manners and critical skills including "heel" and "place" and to overall chill out and relax. Isaac is a training wizard! The board and train had made our lives so much easier and our relationship with Cooper so much better. Cooper is a lot happier now that we have the tools to communicate better with him. We appreciate that Isaac posts stories on IG so we can follow along on the progress Cooper made throughout his train. Highly recommend this business!

Isaac, Shantalle annd the doggie fit fam are amazing. After boarding my pup with doggie fit several times, I realized this was the best group to trust with training my highly energetic Dalmatian. I put her in a 1 month board and train and she was transformed. Doggie fit helped me understand how to maintain the training practices so this would be a lasting change. Very pleased with their services and can’t wait to continue to entrust them with my pups care on an ongoing basis. They are the only company I feel comfortable boarding my pup at.

Isaac did an amazing job training our excited and extra large puppy Daisy. He's extremely knowledgeable and helped is understand what our furry babies see. We learned alot of times it's the fur parents that need to be trained lol. Isaac took the time to explain everything to us and answer all our questions. He's extremely patient and genuinely loves dogs and training! 10/10 highly recommend!
