What happens during the consultation?
The consultation is a deep-dive session where we assess your dog’s behavior, discuss your goals, and explain our training approach. We cover the basics of canine behavioral psychology and the core of our method: relationship-based training. You’ll learn how dogs think, why behavior occurs, and how to establish trust, structure, and communication.
What types of dog training do you offer?
We offer a variety of training options including basic obedience, advanced commands, puppy training, leash walking, behavior modification, and private one-on-one sessions. We also address issues such as barking, jumping, fear, aggression, and anxiety.
What methods do you use?
As Reward-Based, Balanced Trainers, we distance ourselves from archaic techniques such as Alpha/Dominance Theory, compulsion-based training, and intimidation tactics. Instead, our approach is centered on empowerment through education. We don't just teach you how to train your dog; we equip you with a deeper understanding of the principles behind each training method. Our goal is to make you a more knowledgeable and confident owner, capable of fostering a bond with your dog that transcends mere obedience.
Can you help with aggressive or fearful dogs?
Yes. We specialize in behavior modification and have experience working with dogs that display fear, aggression, or anxiety. A custom plan will be created for your dog’s specific needs.
What Townships do you service?
Most towns in the Monmouth County area, within 30 minutes of Asbury Park. Depending where you reside, there may be an additional travel fee to your training service charge.
Do you have a facility?
No, I don’t have a training facility. I offer private in-home lessons at your home for personalized training. We can also meet at parks or other public areas for lessons, giving your dog the chance to practice skills in real-world environments.
