Puppy Training

Want your new puppy to learn basic commands and manners in a fun and safe environment? Our Brick Township trainers are delighted to help your puppy learn how to navigate the world using positive reinforcement methods in our Puppy Management Program!

Our Puppy Management Program helps puppies up to 16 weeks old develop a strong foundation of obedience and socialization. Our expert trainers understand that the first 16 weeks are crucial to the training process, and your puppy will grow up in our program with age-appropriate training techniques.

With such a strong beginning and expert guidance, your puppy will get a head start learning good behaviors, solid obedience skills, and developing confidence!

Benefits of Puppy Management:

  • A recently adopted puppy is a lot of work, but with our team’s guidance, your puppy will grow up with a solid foundation in obedience training, paving the way to a happy and healthy adult dog!
  • Catch unwanted behaviors like aggression and disobedience early and work through them with a professional dog trainer.

Dog Training Day Care

If you are a busy pet parent, consider dropping your pooch off to be trained with one of our expert dog trainers in our Day Train program! Drop your dog off for a weekly session for one week, three weeks, five weeks, or our 8-week Diamond Program, and your dog will be trained all day long.

At pick-up, your dog’s trainer will review what behaviors and commands your dog learned that day so you can practice at home. The advantage of the Day Train program over a board-and-train program is that you and your dog will learn the tools and strategies of obedience training bit by bit, making it easy to generalize training techniques.

When your Day Train session is over, your pooch’s trainer will have a a private one-on-one lesson to go over what they have learned. If you are not happy with the results, we will provide additional classes until your dog’s behavior meets our standards.

After your dog has completed their Day Train Day Care program, they can come back to expand their training with tricks, agility, or service-type behaviors or join our Group Training Classes!

This is the perfect option for:

  • Owners with a full working schedule
  • Pet parents who want their dog home every night.
  • Bored dogs that will thrive with an extra full day of training

(*Behavioral training may be covered under some pet insurance policies. Check with your provider!)

Board and Train Dog Training New Jersey

Dog Boarding & Training

Our Board & Train program is an amazing option whether you are looking for faster training results or if you are going on vacation and are worried your pet will get bored with a sitter. At our Board & Train program, your dog will get focused training from our trainers, getting attention day and night.

Our dedicated trainers are here to help your dog work through serious behavioral issues or simply dust off the training cobwebs for 3-12 days of Board & Train while you are busy with work or on vacation. They will be in a safe environment and well taken care of so you do not have to worry about them!

The Board & Train program includes a follow-up session where we will pass the skills to you so you can continue training at home. You can also join our Group Training Classes for more fun training sessions with your dog.

Instead of simply boarding or finding a dog sitter, let us train your dog while you are on vacation. Reservations for Board & Train need to be made in advance, so let us know about your upcoming trip as soon as possible.

This is a great option if you:

  • Are you planning an upcoming trip
  • Have a busy schedule and have a dog that needs extra attention
  • Have trouble being consistent with training

(*Behavioral training may be covered under some pet insurance policies. Check with your provider!)

Dog Trainer Toms River New Jersey
Ray MedinaOwner/Head Trainer

With over 20 years of dog training experience, I have had the pleasure of working and training with some of the top dog trainers and dog handlers both nationally and internationally.

Some of my recent accomplishments include providing Sport Dog and Protection Dog seminars, Obedience Classes, general dog in-services and training for specialized protection dog groups. I also am a Dog Sport Club Training Director and Instructor.

In addition to providing education and training services, I continue to attend countless training seminars and continuing education hours to include some of the most recent and up to date training techniques in the pet/dog industry. I also have my Dog First Aid/CPR certification, updated yearly.

My passion for training dogs has taken me to multiple Sport Dog competitions from AKC Obedience to Protection Sport Association (PSA). In the last few years with my dog ‘Rocky”, we have accomplished some of the highest levels of recognition in the Dog Sport world. Achieving multiple Regional and National Championships. This included 2015 PSA Level3 USA National Champion, 2016 PSA Level3 USA Highest scoring team of the year, 2017 PSA Level3 USA Regional Champion, 2017 PSA Level3 USA National Champion, 2018 PSA Level3 USA Regional Champion, 2019 PSA Level3 Canadian National Champion.

Throughout all my years of training I have learned the greatest enjoyment for me is being able to help and give others the ability to communicate with their dogs, creating a long lasting relationship. I truly feel blessed to be able to give back to the community by showcasing Sit Means Sit training as a smarter, faster and more reliable form of training to all.

While training dogs is my passion, I also have 6 dogs in my  own”pack” at home including 4 Malinois, 1 German Shepherd, and the boss of the house, our rescue dog “Star”.
