Specific behaviors to address
Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: First off, thank you for taking the time to read this. I am what is considered a balanced trainer, preferring the use of positive reinforcement techniques while teaching our dogs what and how to please us. I am as much a behaviorist as a trainer. The training I provide is as much for my clients as for their dogs. I give you a better understanding of both why your dog is doing specific things and why we are going to respond in a specific manner. When what we do makes sense to us and we’re all enjoying ourselves we’ve created an excellent learning environment. If you think about it, I am teaching how we properly with our dogs. I can tell you all about having dogs all my life, about my national certification through Animal Behavior College but I rather you hear about me through Client and Veterinarian reviews and referrals. I focus on private training and by working with your dog and entire family in your home it allows me to more effectively address issues that are specific to the environment where you spend the majority of your time. I offer assessment/consultations, single sessions (dedicated to the correction of specific behaviors) as well as 2 multi session packages in Monmouth, Middlesex, & Union Counties NJ. Your investment ranges from $125 to $150 per 90 minute session depending on the selected program. We would need to speak to ensure we have a good fit and to get additional information needed before we would be able to move forward. Please text me, email, or call with your contact info.

Jay truly loves what he does, which makes it a pleasure to have him as a trainer, for he sincerely cares. He is not only helpful in addressing your needs, but he gives you little pointers along the way on other situations. We had a major issue with our dog pulling on the lease. Jay sold us a great harness which gives us the power to control our dog at all times. Hudson is now a pleasure to walk. We highly recommend Jay as a trainer.

Jay was incredible with my dog. She already knew many of the basics, but he helped to build on that. Most important of all was the improvement in her walks, she notably tugs a lot less. She is a 50lb muscular dog and I am a 4'10" female. She is a work in progress, but the tips and tricks he provides are really helpful and have brought her a long way. He has given me the confidence and the skills to continue to train her to behave well at home and outside.

Details: 1 dog • 0 - 1 years old • Large (41 - 70 lbs) • General obedience training • Leash pulling • Barking • Digging • Destructive behavior • Private dog training lessons • I travel to the dog trainer • The dog trainer travels to me

My dog has a lot of "issues". Jay took the time to understand my baby's issues and my dog Tyson quickly became his friend. I started to see improvement with Tyson's behaviors after the first session. Jay truly cares about the dogs he works with and I can't say enough positive things about him. Jay is a great trainer and you would be lucky to have him work with your dog.

Jay came to help me with my new Doberman Pinscher who is 18 months old and came to me with some training. Jay is very thorough. He is patient and explains everything very clearly. He was very caring and very kind to both of my dogs. He leaves follow up handouts that help with what you need to work on when he is not there. Jay was exactly what we needed. In few weeks we perfected sit, stay, down, paw, come and some leash training. Thank you!

We are please we found Jay. He connected right away with our 1 year-old Frenchie, and with us as well. With his expert guidance, we've not only trained our dog, but also learned what we needed to do to ensure proper behavior. We would recommend Jay for anyone having behavioral issues with their pup.
