Hi, I’m Sharon Mear, a certified canine and feline trainer and behavior counselor working with cats and dogs since 2001. My Manhattan-based practice is Sharon Mear’s Training Cats and Dogs.
My practice has given me a long list of four-legged clients who love me. Their appreciative parents and caretakers are a wonderful by-product of our work together. Leading veterinarians, animal care professionals, and organizations throughout New York City also recommend me. Being a guardian is not only a privilege but a lifetime responsibility.
Why People Are Choosing Me To Train Their Pets

I am accessible to my clients. You can contact me by phone, email, or through my website and I’ll return your call or email within 24-36 hours.
Consistency
When we work together, you always get me, so you can be assured of the same interpersonal experience at every lesson.
More Time
I offer 90-minute consultations at the price others charge for 60 minutes.

I work with cats and dogs of all breeds, ages, and sizes – no discrimination!
Pre-Pet Consults
I offer consultations before you get your pet to help you understand what kind of animal will best suit your family’s lifestyle.
In-Person & Virtual
I offer both in-person and virtual training, so you can find the format that works best for you.
