Best Dog Training In Howell Township, NJ

The first 16 weeks of your puppy’s life are incredibly important for creating a strong foundation of obedience and socialization. That is why our Puppy Management program is designed to use age-appropriate positive reinforcement training to get your new best friend on track to become a successful and well-behaved family dog!

Our trainers will give you the tools early on to train your puppy to behave appropriately. We are there to guide you through difficult puppy problems like hyperactivity, chewing, biting, and leash pulling. All the hard work and training you put in at this young age will help prevent bad habits later on!

Benefits of Puppy Management:

• A new puppy can be stressful, but with our expert help, you will have one less thing to worry about. With proper obedience training, your puppy will grow up into a happy, healthy, and confident adult dog.
• Work with a trainer to help correct troublesome behavior before it becomes a serious problem.

For busy pet parents or dog owners who feel like their pet might need a little extra help, we would like to invite you to explore our Day Train Program! Like our Doggy Day Care program, you will drop your dog off at the training facility in the morning, but instead of playing, your dog will spend the whole day working with an expert dog trainer.

In the Day Train Program, your dog will have a weekly training session for one week, three weeks, five weeks, or our eight-week Diamond Program. At pick-up, your dog’s trainer will show you what your dog has learned during the day so you are a part of the process. What’s great about the Day Train Program versus a board and train is that you get to practice with your dog every night. That means your dog will have an easier time learning and generalizing their new behaviors!

When your program is finished, we will have a one-on-one with you to make sure you are happy. If you do not see enough progress in your dog, we will provide additional classes for free.

Once your dog has completed the Day Train Program, they are invited to join our Group Lessons! Or expand your dog’s training repertoire by continuing the Day Train Program to learn tricks, agility, or service-type behaviors.

This is the perfect option for:

• Working pet parents local to Howell, NJ, and Monmouth County
• Owners who want their dogs home at night
• Dogs who need a full day’s worth of training

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

Whether you are going out of town on a planned vacation, want faster results, or need help handling some serious behavior issues, our Board & Train Program might be a great option for you and your dog. Our dedicated team of expert trainers lay in the difficult foundation work of training that you might not have time for!

For up to 12 nights at our training facility, your pooch will have the full attention of our staff of amazing dog trainers, working with them day and night. After their Board & Train program is complete, your trainer will meet with you to show you what skills your dog has learned and show you how to practice at home. After a follow-up session to ensure you are happy with your dog’s new behavior, you are ready to join our Group Lessons for additional support!

If you have a trip planned, let us take care and train your dog in our Board & Train Program instead of leaving them at a boarding facility or with a dog sitter where they might get bored or stressed. (Please make reservations for specific Board and Train dates as soon as possible.)

Get in touch today if you are looking for excellent care and thoughtful training for your family dog!

This is a great option if you:

• Have a hard time making time for training new behavior
• Are you planning a vacation?
• Struggle to maintain consistency with the training process

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