Metuchen / Edison Dog Training

Planning on bringing home a new four legged addition to your family? Not sure what is the best method of Basic Obedience Training? We can help! We provide Positive Reinforcement Training using praise and/or treats to reward your dog for doing something you want him to do. Because the reward makes him more likely to repeat the behavior, positive reinforcement is one of your most powerful tools for shaping or changing your dog’s behavior.

We do not believe in forceful negative correction that overwhelms and confuses the dog. We will teach you to teach your dog basic obedience, leash walking, home manners. Lots of Fun games to play with your dog. Contact us today to discuss your needs so we may set up a plan and specialized quote.

Training is available in Metuchen, Edison, Fords, Highland Park, and surrounding towns. Travel fees may apply for some areas.
