Brett Shelby Professional Private Dog Training - Englewood, NJ
Being a second generation dog trainer has granted me a lifetime of experience. With over 15 years of training professionally, having worked with 7 different top rated trainers from around the country and averaging over 400 lessons a year has granted me the opportunity to become the elite trainer that I am today. The best part is that I love what I do. I get to teach people how to better understand and connect their 4-legged significant other this way you can communicate with them more effectively. Teaching them everything you want rather then struggling against what you don't want. It's not about stopping bad behaviors, it's about playfully showing and rewarding what you do want until it becomes routine. Please contact and book my private dog training services on Petworks. Thank You.

Recommended Certifications for Dog Trainers
When choosing a dog trainer, professional certifications are a strong indicator of expertise, experience, and commitment to ethical, science-based methods. Widely recognized credentials include the CPDT-KA or CPDT-KSA from the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers, which demonstrate mastery of modern training techniques, canine behavior, and learning theory. The KPA-CTP (Karen Pryor Academy Certified Training Partner) highlights trainers skilled in positive reinforcement and clicker training, while the IAABC Certified Dog Trainer credential, recognized internationally, signals advanced knowledge in behavior modification and problem-solving. Membership or certification through the Association of Professional Dog Trainers (APDT) further reflects ongoing education and adherence to ethical standards. Many trainers also pursue specialty certifications in areas such as aggression management, behavior modification, or puppy development to address specific challenges.
For pet parents, choosing a certified trainer like Brett Shelby, ensures that your dog’s training is grounded in science, safety, and compassion. Asking about a trainer’s credentials is one of the best ways to make a confident, informed choice.
