Maren Lavelle - Certified CCPDT Private Dog Trainer - Montclair, NJ
I'm a Positive-Reinforcement dog trainer and owner of The Big City Woof Walker, LLC., a dog walking and pet care company based in Manhattan, NY.
I'm a CPDT-KA (Certified Professional Dog Trainer - Knowledge Assessed) and a Peaceable Paws Affiliate dog trainer. I've studied with Pat Miller at Peaceable Paws and attended and passed her Level One Canine Behavior and Training Academy and Level Two Behavior Modification Academy. My training experience extends from puppy training and basic manners to more advance behavior modification and reactivity cases.
