CPDT and Behaviorist Veterinary Dog Trainer - Woodbridge, NJ

Member since May 2017

With a lifelong passion for dogs and extensive hands-on experience, I am thrilled to offer my services as an Animal Behavior College Certified Dog Trainer (ABCDT). Since June 2022, I've been dedicated to helping pet parents like you build stronger, healthier relationships with their furry companions. My journey in dog obedience training and behavior modification began with my own pets, and it has grown into a rewarding career where I can blend my love for animals with my desire to assist people in creating harmonious households. As a proud member of the Association of Professional Dog Trainers (APDT), I stay updated with the latest techniques to ensure that you receive the best guidance possible.

I specialize in private, personalized training sessions that cater to your specific needs and busy lifestyle. Whether your dog weighs under 20 lbs or over 80 lbs, I have the expertise to handle any size, offering tailored solutions for obedience training and behavior issues. My approach is rooted in positive reinforcement and negative punishment, techniques that are scientifically proven to be both effective and humane. Additionally, I am fully bonded and insured, providing you with peace of mind as we work together to foster a better understanding between you and your pet.

I am proud to offer mobile services, bringing my expertise right to your doorstep, and I accommodate busy schedules with flexible appointments.
