Serving Central New Jersey

2022 Update: In person lessons are available at your home or at our Franklin Park facility (in the agility field or office). Remote Private Lessons are available by video. Don't worry, video is easy to set up and works well for many behavior challenges. Please contact me by email regarding scheduling.

Does your dog love to bark, chew, jump on people, steal socks, and tow you down the street? Our Dog Behavior Consultant will show you how to teach your dog to be quiet, chew his own stuff, greet people politely and walk nicely at your side.

 

Private dog training lessons are the quickest and most convenient way to train your dog. One hour consultations are scheduled in your home at your convenience to teach you how to train your dog or puppy. You will learn one on one from a certified professional dog trainer how to teach your dog the basic commands, solve behavior problems, and create a healthy relationship with your dog.

Private lessons are the most effective way to deal with problems that only happen at home such as darting out the front door, destructive chewing, barking out the window etc. Issues such as fears, phobias, and excessive mouthing and nipping also are best addressed in one on one lessons rather than in a group situation.

Common problems that can be addressed in private lessons include:

Housetraining

Jumping up

Escaping/Door dashing

Stealing Stuff

Chewing

Puppy nipping/mouthing

Pulling on leash

Barking and lunging at other dogs*

Counter surfing

Barking when left alone*

*Please note that anxious and reactive dogs are evaluated on a case by case basis. If your case is accepted, you will be required to sign a comprehensive waiver. More serious cases will be referred to a veterinary behaviorist.
