Amanda and her staff are amazing. So attentive and nurturing w/ our pup. The place is great, as well. Brand new and decorated like a forest. Our little one was in baby boot camp for three weeks and had a blast. They use positive reinforcement as opposed to prong collars, etc. She's much more self assured and obedient than before. Highly recommend! read more

Furry Tales is amazing .. my Bella was super shy the first time we brought her and Amanda and Terrica really brought her out of her shell!! She runs in to see her friends now whenever she goes. They definitely go above and beyond to make all the babies feel special read more

See all

Amanda, Danielle, and their team at FurryTales are the most wonderful people in the world. If I could give them more stars I would. They treat our two dogs like their own, and we couldn't be happier with their services. Amanda and her staff are incredibly knowledgeable and take care of the dogs like they are their own. We've done it all with FurryTales: puppy socialization, board and train, boarding, and daycare. Both of our dogs have benefited so much. Our Irish Wolfhound puppy learned to play well with dogs of all sizes, walk on a leash, and avoid countersurfing. Amanda is proof that you can teach an old dog new tricks! Our 4-year-old Sheepadoodle had picked up some bad habits over the years, but with the board and train program, Amanda perfected her walking and improved her recall. Our two dogs absolutely love going to FurryTales and get super excited every time we pull up. Plus, we get the best pictures and videos throughout the day, which we absolutely adore. This is not your typical dog training and boarding service; it truly becomes a family. We love being a part of the FurryTales Pack. read more

There's no other place I would trust with my dog than FurryTales. While they are incredibly caring and friendly with their dogs, what makes them so great is that this is just an all-around honest business. On two different occasions we had to unexpectedly cancel our boarding session and other times we were delayed in dropping off our dog for daycare. They never once levied a cancellation fee or withheld a deposit from us; they just were very understanding about the situation and allowed us to cancel. It's very surprising to find an honest business these days and we're super happy they are the ones taking care of our dog! read more

We adopted a 5 year old Yorkshire Terrier rescue a few months ago He was so anxious on walks and had leash reactivity to people, dogs, mailboxes, anything. Our walks were stressful for both us and Walter. I started researching trainers and has a some preliminary discussions with a few people. Nothing really clicked. That is until we spoke to Amanda. Just minutes into our first conversation, we felt right at home with her. Amanda is kind, caring, upbeat and knowledgable. We set up a two hour training session. In that time, Amanda gave us some training exercises and we discussed board and train. We booked a 2 week board and train a few weeks later. During that time, Amanda and her amazing team had Walter going! Daily training sessions, pack walks, hikes, and doggy daycare. Amanda and Walter met up with us several times in our neighborhood for walks. We learned how to properly walk him (contrary to popular belief, walking a dog is not always intuitive!) and how to proactively look for his triggers. Amanda and her team sent pictures and videos while he was away. Since Walter has come home, we have continued our training. We also send Walter to weekly FurryTales doggy car care. And we are boarding Walter there when we go away. Walter's second home is Amanda and Daniele's home . If you decide to add a dog to your family, whether puppy or an older dog, I wholeheartedly recommend getting some training with FurryTales. The change in Walter in just 3 months has been incredible. We love FurryTales!!!! read more

I don't know what I'd do without FurryTales! It gives my dog a really positive outlet to play and burn energy while I'm at work. The FurryTales team focuses on training & safety and it really shows! The team is phenomenal! They've helped a lot with my dog's outside leash training by getting to know her & communicating to us how to better achieve a positive experience. Separately, I couldn't say more good things about their behavioral training! Amanda came to us to work in my dog's environment and work there. Couldn't recommend FurryTales, their team & services, more! They're the absolute best read more

Amanda has been a blessing for our Lola. Lola LOVES her and has learned so much from her. Lola is our rescue and developed leash aggression after some time, but she's also a sweetheart so we knew we needed help. We tried a few trainers, but just didn't feel comfortable. Amanda came in and was everything we wanted. Someone that cares, is respectful, knows what she's doing and above all, that my dog loves! Highly recommend read more

Furry Tales/Amanda is amazing!!! From daycare to a board and train program, I could not be more pleased and satisfied. They are responsive, responsible, personable, extremely smart and knowledgeable, and so fun to work with. The difference in our dog today is night and day. So lucky to have such a great and reliable place to send our dog to. 10/10 highly recommend. read more

10/5 stars - FurryTales is truly the best. Best for boarding, daycare, home training, board-and-train training - they absolutely do it all so professionally and with so much love and compassion for your pet. We have enrolled our dog in every service they have to offer and with every one we are so happy with the result for each and every one. Our dog loves spending time at FurryTales both with the "teachers" there and the other "students." FurryTales offers options for online booking and payment for all of their serfices, and one of our favorite offerings is their transportation service to and from FurryTales HQ for daycare! The dogs are all safely strapped into the "school van" and it is truly the cutest thing to see them all sitting on the "bus" on their way to "school" together. We cannot imagine our life or our dog's life without FurryTales! read more

I can not say enough great things about Amanda and FurryTales as a whole. We reached out to Amanda regarding training for our pup, Bear. After 5 sessions, and even beyond that, my boyfriend and I learned SO much. I am amazed by the dog Bear has become on the leash. The best part is that you can truly feel how much Amanda cares about the dogs she works with. It's been about a year since training with furrytales and our dog still gets so happy and excited to see Amanda. Any time a friend in the area talks about training for their dog, I recommend FurryTales. And I always will! read more

If I could give Furry Tales 100 out of 5 stars, I would. My husband and I have been using Furry Tales daycare and boarding services since our mini bernedoodle was about five months old. (She is 1 years old now.) Not only are they extremely professional and reliable, but they care for your pup like they are their very own. Our dog absolutely loves going to daycare and comes home absolutely exhausted, and very happy! We feel extremely grateful to have this group of dog lovers in our lives... they have made having an energetic puppy (while 9 months pregnant) a total breeze. Couldn't say enough good things about Furry Tales. In fact, I think I've already recommended them to half the town of Hoboken. read more

Amanda, the owner of Furry Tail, is truly a "dog whisperer". When Ellie, my French Bulldog, first joined me in Hoboken she was extremely introverted, afraid of both dogs and people. She was also not house trained or used to walking on a leash. With Amanda's patience and love Ellie has blossomed! She has come out of her shell and now really enjoys meeting new doggy friends and people. Ellie is 1 year old now, very few accidents in the house, and walks on her leash like a champ. I can't thank her enough and am very happy to have her in our lives. read more

5 stars doesn't even come close to doing FurryTales justice. Everyone on staff is absolutely incredible, communicative, and loving towards our dog and we couldn't be happier to have found them! read more

It has truly been a pleasure meeting Amanda and working with the entire FurryTales team! As first-time puppy parents, we made an appointment to meet with Amanda for a consultation and for some coaching before bringing our puppy home. After doing a ton of research and meeting with other businesses in town, Amanda made us feel the most comfortable and was the most patient with our novice puppy questions. She was extremely personable yet professional and we knew we wanted to continue to work with her and her team. When I literally say from DAY ONE, I literally mean it - we brought home our puppy and Amanda came by THAT afternoon to visit and assist us. As new puppy parents you can only imagine how many questions and concerns we had. Amanda immediately put us at ease and FurryTales has since been there to answer any and all questions. Their confidence and knowledge has trickled over to us and we are now the pup parents we have always wanted to be! Now, we have worked with FurryTales weekly for 5 months straight and they have NEVER let us down. Whether it be for training, puppy visits, extended visits or overnights - FurryTales has been reliable, trustworthy, communicative, and an absolute pleasure to work with! To say they have become a major part in our family's life is an understatement. We are truly grateful for all they do and are so appreciative of the love and care they give our pup. We are looking forward to continuing to work with them for a long, long time! read more

Amanda at FurryTalesNJ is Diesels new best friend! Diesel, like most of our furry friends, is always my top priority. My wife and I wanted Diesel to be present for our wedding, but in order to do so we needed help! Amanda not only watched Diesel the day of the wedding, she also brought him to the wedding (about 45 minutes from our home), they attended the ceremony, and the party, until it was time for Diesel to go home at which point Amanda took Diesel home and stayed with him at our house that night so he could be nice and comfortable at home! I can't speak anymore highly about the professionalism, sacrifice and accommodation provided by FurryTalesNJ, especially Amanda! We have since used FurryTalesNJ for all of our dog walking / sitting needs and couldn't be happier. Before we found Amanda, we were driving Diesel to Connecticut to a boarding facility that had 24/7 pickup/drop-off and cameras as that was the only way we felt comfortable. NO MORE! We found our new dog caregivers and Diesel found his new best friend! Thank you for your amazing service!!! read more

I recently got my first dog in July and it has been a learning experience for me. FurryTales has helped make the transition to a new dog mom so much better. I would be lost with out them! Amanda, has been an amazing trainer for my dog, Tonks, and also for me. She is teaching me the tools I need to work on her behavioral issues. I also use their dog walking services and Danny has been amazing! My anxiety about leaving her alone when I'm at work is gone. Danny is very professional and I love the daily updates with a picture of my dog and how the visit/walk went. I would highly recommend them to anyone with a furbaby! read more

Frankie was incredibly shy around humans - Amanda, Terreca and the team have been amazing at working with her (and Me), helping her gain her confidence and come out of her shell. She is so much more playful with other people now and loves her walks / day care dates with the team. And she's a happy smiley customer when she's boarding. The team has been such a blessing for me, they take great care of Frankie and I can relax when I'm busy knowing she's in great hands. Highly recommend Amanda for any training needs - she's thoughtful, listens, and really pays attention to the puppy to develop a plan. Can't say enough good things! read more

Amanda and her staff are amazing! I have a 3.5 month old English Bulldog and I use FurryTales for both training and dog walking. Their service has been impeccable and very personalized to what we need. I couldn't ask for better and I know Buckley is well cared for and safe on his dog walks when I am at work. Highly recommend FurryTales! read more

FurryTales - Pet Training Near Me - Fort Lee, New Jersey

Amanda has changed our lives and helped us beyond measure with training our new rescue, Shaggy. Whoever said a full-grown dog can't be trained clearly never worked with FurryTales. Amanda works by teaching our dog, but by also teaching us how to communicate with our dog to achieve our desired behavior. Since meeting with her, Shaggy doesn't jump up and bite on his walks anymore, is a pro at "leave it", and is getting better at recall every day. Amanda sends thorough and detailed notes recapping our sessions that are helpful and allow us to practice everything we learned in our sessions. Would recommend Amanda and the FurryTales team to anyone who wants a trainer they can trust who actually helps! Thank you x100000! read more

From the moment that FurryTales was recommended to us, we have never looked back. The entire FurryTales team has been an absolute blessing. As first time puppy owners, the love and support they give our dog is something that is so meaningful to us. Whenever we have a question, whether it be about walks, health, or anything dog related, we know we can count on someone from the FurryTales team to help us with an answer. They communicate efficiently and professionally. Moreover, FurryTales is so flexible. We are leaving our puppy with the FurryTales boarding for 18 days, and we are beyond confident that our dog will not only have the time of his life under the care of the FurryTales team, but that he will be comfortable and safe. We love FurryTales and cannot thank them enough for all they have done for us and our fur-baby! read more

I can't say enough good things about Furry Tales and the people who work there. From training to walking to daycare and boarding, they've taken such good care of my dog, Rosie. They've worked to help manage her separation anxiety and also learn good manners. And they seem to love her just as much as I do, whist is so reassuring. I am so thankful to have found them and trust them completely. The best part is that Rosie seems to love them too! read more

Amanda is amazing! We've been working with her to train our dog out of some of her reactionary behavior. Amanda is patient, knowledgable, attentive, and incredibly thorough. She takes the time to explain what she is seeing in our dog's behavior so we can better understand what is going on. Before working with Amanda, we were tense and stressed out while out on walks with our dog--she has helped put us more at ease by giving us the training and tools we need to help keep our dog calm and focused on us. Our dog's behavior has improved a TON since working with Amanda--we highly recommend Amanda to anyone looking for personalized training for their dog. read more

Amanda and her team are simply excellent. They take wonderful care of my pup and are flexible and responsive to changes in my schedule. They send cute pictures and sweet updates after each walk and their affection for all the pups they work with is evident. It is so important to trust your team of dog walkers and with FurryTales, you can be confident you pet is in the best of hands! read more

My fur baby LOVES Amanda and the weekly walks that her and her team provides, rain or shine. I love her for her clear organized communication and scheduling AND knowing that she is accredited with the professional skill set. I'm so happy to have found her company who gives me a peace of mind for the friendly and trustworthy genuine care for my precious Cavalier. read more

Invest in the success of your pup! I'm so glad with the decision my boyfriend & I made when getting our first dog together--to find a reliable service to help out on walks and training! Amanda is so awesome, and is truly a dog whisperer. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my dog. Look no further, this is an investment worth making. read more

Furry Tales and the employees that work there are both amazing and we've had nothing but a great experience! Amanda and her team have been walking our pup Toby for about a year now and they've always been reliable, accommodating and flexible. We are so grateful to them for always being there :) read more

The FurryTales team is nothing short of spectacular. Whether it be Amanda, Megin or Bubba, I know my pup is always in good hands and well taken care of when I am away. In fact, whenever we run into them around Hoboken, Parker insists that we stop and say hello. FurryTales is also great at training and improving behavioral issues. Parker is a rescue and use to get severe anxiety on walks, specifically around cars and skateboards. Not great when you live in the city. These issues, however, have almost completely gone away with the help of FurryTales. Because of Amanda and her team Parker is a much happier pup and a delight to walk with. I'd recommend FurryTales to anyone looking for a dog walker, trainer or pet sitter. read more

Amanda and her team of dog walkers have been lifesavers for us. They have responded quickly to last minute requests and gone out of their way to ensure the physical and mental wellbeing of our border collie Kenzo. When you are traveling it is reassuring to see a video or photo of your happy dog. One night due to a misunderstanding, the staff in our building didn't let one of the dog walkers in so Amanda came herself late at night to make sure Kenzo was walked. We highly recommend them. read more

Amanda and Furry Tales delivers the type of care any owner wants for their pet. Professional, personable, flexible, and dedicated, you'll love the peace of mind Amanda gives you whenever she's with your pet, and best of all, your pet will love Amanda too. read more

Love Amanda and Furry Tales! We found Furry Tales through a friend and so glad we did. We work long hours with our jobs and wanted someone to spend time with our cat. Amanda does our visits and I swear our cat looks forward to them! We love the updates and photos she sends us. We have used her for pet sitting as well and she has gone above and beyond. So glad I found someone I can trust with my fur baby. read more

We love Furry Tales! Not only do they treat my fur baby like their own, but I've also found it a breeze working with them on scheduling. Their team works incredibly hard to be available for any last minute requests... top notch customer service all around. Highly recommend! read more

The people at FurryTales, and especially Amanda, thoroughly understand the psychology of dogs and puppies. This is why their work is so successful and quick. Not all training companies will be like this. I would say FurryTales is an absolute must for any new puppy owner if you live near enough. My puppy training was going okay on my own but the second Amanda walked through my door, my puppy transformed for the better and the behavior has stuck. I also gave my puppy to FurryTales for a week while out of the city and the constant photos and videos were very comforting. They even continued some basic training which I wasn't expecting at all. My puppy was truly treated like a member of the family and came back a calmer and more confident dog. They provide this service for the same price as a typical "dog spa" which is unbelievable. Do yourself a favor and don't look elsewhere. read more

We love Amanda and Furry Tales NJ! We found out about her via a Facebook NJ dog group. Amanda is CPDT certified which is very important to us and a huge plus. She has helped train our 3 month old goldendoodle how to sit, lay, leave it, crate train, leash train, as well as other trust exercises and more! She has also provided many resources including the right products to buy for the best care for our puppy. We can't say enough great things about Amanda and her company and we can't wait for her new doggy daycare to open up soon as well! read more

We were so lucky to find FurryTales and we know Toby is in good hands with Amanda and Megin. They have been so reliable and willing to accommodate last minute cancellations and walk requests. They have also been patient with our rescue dog, providing consistent training during his walks and feedback on his behavior. We've noticed marked improvements and he's a lot more calm around people and other dogs. We look forward to continuing trainings with Amanda and having Megin as our primary walker. We enjoy the daily pictures and updates she sends and it's clear that Toby loves her. read more

I wanted to update my review since a lot has changed in the last year. We now have 2 dogs and a baby in the house. Furry Tales has taken a much larger role in our lives, giving both of our boys Diesel buddy and Dexter daily walks. We also were lucky enough to have them petsit both of our dogs while we welcomed a new baby into the world. Their remarkable team has helped make my transition into motherhood easier as i know the boys are taken care of and given great walks. Diesel and Dexter have also gotten to love their walks and wait enthusiastically for the Furry Tales team. I higly recommend their services - your loved ones will thank you! read more

We love the services provided by FurryTales. All the training, walks and dog care are accompanied by patient understanding of dogs, their needs, and owners' needs as well. We learned a lot about how to train both our dogs, and are very comfortable entrusting the care of our dogs to Amanda and her team. Our bouncy puppy has learned more about how to be clam and listen/follow commands, and our grouchy older dog listens and has perked up upon getting a training "refresher." We are very pleased and will continue to book walks and training sessions with Furry Tales. read more

Absolutely adore FurryTales! We have been working with Amanda for a few months with training and it has made a world of difference with our dog. She is responsive, patient, and has a wealth of knowledge and our dog fell in love with her immediately. We are also excited for the summer Adventure Mondays where they take a few dogs out for a hike. read more

Amanda is INCREDIBLE! She completely changed our relationship with our 1-year-old rescue, Bosco, for the better. Over the course of our 3 months of working with her, she taught us how to more effectively communicate with Bosco. Before hiring Amanda, Bosco was a leash puller and had developed leash reactivity. I could barely walk him more than a few blocks. Spending time with him outside became something that I no longer looked forward to and made me fearful. Now, we're back to enjoying long walks around town and in new parks and neighborhoods! He now walks calmly and past other dogs and it's been such a relief that he and I are BOTH less anxious outside and able to have fun together! We're even making so progress on recall and Bosco will hopefully soon be able to enjoy off-leash activities, like the beach! She was so patient with us and with Bosco and she gradually introduced new training methods and equipment so Bosco's needs would be met. We really appreciated how kind and non-judgmental Amanda is and I could not recommend her more to anyone considering hiring her as their trainer. read more

We were referred to FurryTales by a friend after our previous cat sitter moved away. Having recently adopted our new cat, we needed someone to look after him while we were away for a week. Amanda came over for an initial meeting almost immediately and we felt good about having FurryTales look after our little guy. We are very pleased with the care and respect she has for animals in general and our cat and home in particular. We get daily reports/photo/videos with every visit. Most importantly, our kitty loves her. He is always at ease with her and we are always at ease knowing he's being cared-for by a knowledgeable and competent person. I highly recommend FurryTalesNJ. read more

I don't know where to begin with Amanda and her team at FurryTales. I can't say enough about just how great they all are! From my initial inquiry about training to scheduling boarding, everyone was extremely responsive, accommodating, and clearly had a passion for what they do. As a first-time puppy owner, I wanted to ensure I was starting on the right foot and Amanda was the perfect person to help with this process. I couldn't be more pleased to have Amanda as part of this journey. I started with The Prodigal Puppy package and before the last session, I was already asking about continuing training due to all we took away from each session. I was learning as much as my little guy was and looked forward to building on what we had covered. From the first session, I saw how well Hudson was responding to Amanda's overall training style and just how much he was truly capable of. You can see how dedicated Amanda is to providing the best possible experience for all. She is knowledgeable, personable, and her overall approach was extremely effective. Each session was uniquely designed around our needs and was altered on the spot based on any feedback given. Every session was hands-on, interactive, informative, and rewarding. Amanda consistently provided a detailed recap along with resources, feedback, information, and a report card following each session. I couldn't ask for anything better than all Amanda had to offer. My experience has been nothing short of excellent. I am looking forward to continuing training as well as utilizing the other services Furry Tales has to offer. I think it goes without saying I highly recommend Amanda and her team for any training or caretaking needs! read more
