BEST DOG TRAINER IN NJ! I have been a dog owner for 6 years, my wife and I rescued Moses just hours before he was scheduled to be put down and at the time had a seven year old daughter who bonded immediately with Moses. After living in NJ for his first 2 years we decided to move to Virginia and not soon after my wife became pregnant again. For the first year Moses was sweet and calm around our newborn, however as soon as Stella was able to walk things soon changed. Moses became scared and skittish with Stella's new fast unpredictable movements and hesitations toward petting him and eventually led to him biting her. We separated the 2, keeping Moses outside until bed time, hoping they would eventually get comfortable with each other. Unfortunately that never happened, and after over a year of being separated, Moses continued to show fear around Stella and eventually bit her again while my older daughter had been watching her. After that my wife and I sadly decided that it might be time to find another home for Moses. Easier said then done; no one would take a dog in our new state with a bite history and every shelter emphasized that death was imminent with a dog with a bite history. Moses had never bitten anyone except Stella and the there was no way my wife and I were going to let that happen. With nearly all hope lost, a friend from New Jersey told us about her experience with her dog trainer and recommended we speak to him before we make any decisions. A bit reluctant, still feeling hopeless we agreed to bring Moses up to NJ to meet with Paul and have him assessed. Paul quickly determined that Moses was not an aggressive dog and that we had been misinterpreting his behavior. With only 2 days in a row of training Moses soon resembled a completely different dog. Paul found that his fear wasn't only towards Stella but also towards other dogs and anything else that he suspected as a threat. After one day of training, Moses was able to be in a dog park with many dogs quickly running up to him and was able to remain calm and did not react with any fear. My wife began to cry when we saw this. With only 2 days training Paul was able to transform Moses to the dog we had hoped for and assured us with continued training that Moses would only become more obedient and trustworthy around our daughter. This is by no means a quick fix, let me be clear, however we are very hopeful now as opposed to where we were. With continued training with Paul and constant reinforcement at home we have gone from having no hope and feeling emotionally exhausted, to looking confidently toward the future. I cannot express how grateful my wife and I are for taking the time to talk with Paul and have him evaluate Moses. His expertise with dogs is profound, and no matter how smart you think you are, it takes a special person to interpret animal behavior. read more

All trainers are not created equal. Paul was not my first trainer, but he certainly is my last. Waldo had been training with another instructor for close to six months prior to me finding Paul. I wasn't seeing results I knew my fur baby was capable of and no forward progress was being made, so clearly, it wasn't working for Waldo or me, and it was undoubtedly time to make a change. Waldo is a rescue and was never an aggressive or a "bad dog". At the time, he was a one and a half-year-old escape artist, a run away any opportunity he could find (his name suits him), with the typical stubborn, dominant, free-spirited, energizing, unpredictable behaviors known of the breed! You name it, he tried it! Fast forward to July when Paul was recommended to me by a close friend. With only a handful of trainings, by the beginning of August, my crazy husky was now listening and able to run alongside me on the beach or wherever I took him! There's no harsh corrections or punishments. It's all based on the dog's choices through the implementation of fun commands and play! The issues were dissolving right before my eyes, and more importantly, Waldo was enjoying himself being wild and free without running away! If you're looking for a trainer, look no more! Paul's talent, skill, and connection is not only evident with his dogs but with every dog he comes in contact with and works with!!! I've also used Paul for boarding when I've been away with absolutely no worries or reservations! The results speak for themselves. Waldo is now focused and free, and so am I! The training has positively effected me as well and opened my eyes to a whole new world with Waldo! We have developed such an undeniable connection and bond like no other! Every day I'm filled with gratitude and thanks to Paul. KrushK9 is the real deal! Make the KrushK9 choice TODAY! read more

We got our golden doodle puppy, Zion, from an Amish farm in Pennsylvania. When we took him home everything was new to him from electricity, to walking on carpet, to interacting with people. He was kept in a dark basement with the rest of his litter and clearly had never received any affection from anyone. I wanted to get him trained and after doing some research, I decided to give Paul, from KrushK9, a shot. Due to Zion's living conditions for the first 12 weeks of his life, he grew independent and made it clear that he wanted to be in charge. From just the first training with Paul, we went home with a new dog. Going into the training, Zions weaknesses were; not listening to us when we talked to him, not looking at us, biting everything, laying away from us, pulling on the leash, going wherever he pleased, and not showing interest in us at all. We have trained with Paul so far just three times and Zion is responding to his name, making eye contact with us, not biting anymore, listens to most of our commands, walks nicely on the leash while looking back at us to make sure we are beside him, and also shows us so much affection. We are beyond happy with how much we learned from Paul and can't wait to see how much Zion progresses with future trainings with him. Every dog is different. They have different personalities and needs, and Paul takes the time to learn and evaluate your dog and is very passionate about training them. He also is very informative and you will leave the session so many new tips and information to get your dog to be the best they can be. I would definitely give KrushK9 a try before going anywhere else, you won't be disappointed! read more

Paul is a god send. I'm so happy we picked him as our dog trainer. When I contacted him about our extremely jumpy, chewing,peeing dog he told me everything he does, & answered all of my questions no matter how many I had & etc. When he came to our home for an evaluation he was so nice, attentive, patient & etc. Within a few minutes after seeing our dogs personality Paul had our dog listening, sitting and etc. I knew from that moment on that he was going to be the ONLY person we want to train our dog(s). The vibe he gives off is amazing. He knows what he's doing & is very good at it. When our dog left to board & train we missed him but knew he was going to be treated very good & when he came back to visit I almost cried because I was so happy with the work Paul did with our dog. He was not jumping, not picking up anything & everything then running away like he use to. He was so good I couldn't believe my eyes. When they came back(the 2nd time) after the boarding & training was over our dog can now walk without a leash & still listen even if dogs & people are walking by, drops items easier, no peeing in home, crates easier, isn't scared of water anymore & etc. We're so grateful for Paul.  If you are looking for a trainer PLEASE pick Paul 1st. You definitely won't be disappointed. It's 10000000000% worth it. He also keeps you up to date on how your dog is doing. I got pictures,videos, lots of messages, and updates all the time. He definitely has changed our boy for the better. Thank you is not enough for what good you have done in our lives. Thank you so much Paul. read more

I found Paul on the GSD AKC website. He responded quickly and provided all of the information I needed going into this process. He is very knowledgeable about the breed and I could not have felt more secure about choosing the right puppy based on what we wanted out of him. Thor is as gentle as it comes, and he is an amazing guard dog. Paul called it when Thor was 9 weeks old. Thor comes from a great pedigree who was trained under Paul. I have since recommended Paul to another customer and they also had the same great experience I did. The toughest thing about getting a puppy is wondering what his personality will be like, is he healthy, among other uncertainties. Be rest assured, all of those questions will be answered HONESTLY. Paul doesn't just sell you a dog, he wants to stay in it's life in some fashion. This alone says he cares and wants to get the best out of the k9. I could not be happier with Thor and hope those who read this understand my point...Go to Paul. :) read more

Paul from Krushk9 is an amazing trainer and breeder. I purchased a GSD from Paul in February of this year. He was extremely helpful while we were looking for a puppy and provided a wealth of information regarding the litter as well as raising a dog in general. After purchasing a GSD with Paul, he continued to show his dedication to his litters as he provided training to all his puppies. He shared all his knowledge and training techniques as he wants to see all his dogs succeed. He is an excellent teacher who is extremely knowledgeable and truly cares about his dogs. It has been over a year since I got my GSD from Paul, and we still keep in touch regularly. We have regular weekly training sessions where I learn something new with each session. He always makes himself available for anything I need. I could not be happier with all the help I've received from Paul since Day 1. I don't know where I would be without him. read more

We purchased our first German Shepard from Paul last year and we couldn't be happier with the experience we have had with him. The puppy was an amazing addition to our family. It has been a learning experience that Paul has made a lot easier. We took advantage of the training he offered when she was a new puppy. We have learned so much and we are so thankful for the knowledge Paul is always willing share. He is always willing to answer questions and help with problems. We continue to travel an hour to train with Paul a few times a month. We work hard but have fun at the same time. Paul has a special bond with his dogs. You can see how happy they are to see him and how willing they are to work for him. If we say to our dog "where's Mr. Paul," she gets all excited cocking her head to look for him. We are stopped all the time and asked were we got our dog. I have and will continue to refer people to him. read more

Paul did wonders for our rescue who had absolutely no manners when we first got him as a three year old. He didn't listen, didn't trust, tugged on the leash, and he showed signs of aggression when we walked in our dog and kid friendly neighborhood. Paul not only helped train our dog and build a strong bond with him, but he took a lot of time to educate me as his handler. We have a completely different dog now. And the knowledge Paul passed along I use with my other dogs as well as the fosters who come through our house. Paul is extremely knowledgeable, patient and cares about what he's doing. I highly recommend him! read more

Paul does a fantastic job! We had a very tough situation where even our vet recommended our 2 year old Rottweiler/Labrador mix be put down. Paul spent several weeks working with our dog until he felt he was ready for us to have him back. He then spent a lot of time with us going over what we needed to do to help our pup be the best that he could be. I would recommend Paul and Krush K9 to everyone! He truly cares about the dogs and helping you develop a great understanding with your dog. read more

I want to share my experience with boarding and training my almost 2 and a half yr. old male Berger Picard. Nando spent 2 weeks with his trainer, Kasey, who owned an almost 11 mo. old female Shepard and Nando had an instant friend! Kasey would send me short video's of his progress that made you feel proud of your dog...Feels good to be a student with Kasey as she makes training fun and simple! Thank you for your care and expertise with Nando! read more

If your looking for the best training for your dog stop looking you have found it! Trust me when I say Paul has changed my husband's and I GSP's life as well as ours! His love for training and the drive he has to go that extra step is amazing! Our Callie is amazing on and off leash, recall, heel, and so much more! Her overall confidence is unbelievable as well as ours! I highly recommend Krush K9 dog training for any dog big or small!! read more

My Mom is visiting us for the Holidays with her new puppy Mickey. Unbeknownst to us, he was not house trained. I contacted Paul and he took the time out of his busy schedule to come to my home and spend time with my Mom and Mickey. Since his visit and following his instructions, Mickey has not went inside at all. A full week! Cant say enough about Paul and his organization. Would recommend them in a second!! Thanks Paul and Krushk9!!! read more

WE WILL CALL HIM DOG TRAINER BECAUSE MIRACLE WORKER IS NOT A TITLE! Norton is doing great and this is just under 2 weeks! I wouldn't have believed the change if I didn't see it for myself! We tried another trainer before finding Paul and had to literally undo the damage done to poor Norton because of it. We are looking forward to a long and happy life with our well behaved, well trained, and very happy Norton! Thank you Paul!!!! read more

If you need help training your dog, Paul & KrushK9 are the absolute answer to all your problems! I rescued my dog, Gibbs & I was in need of learning how to be the pack leader he need me to be in order for him to be the dog I wanted him to be! Within months I saw a total transformation. Paul has helped us to live in harmony instead of a stressful, chaotic life. Give him a try! You won't be disappointed! read more

Paul is hands down the best dog trainer. After only 2 sessions, I had a stranger on the street tell me how impressive my dog was. Our nervous dog, who reacted to other dogs and people with fear aggression, is completely changed. Paul taught us how to communicate with our dog which enabled us to stay his forever home. Paul is not only an amazing dog trainer, but a true LIFESAVER as well. read more

Paul is amazing! I adopted a beautiful rescue from him, and the match could not have been more perfect. Even three years later, I can contact him with any questions or concerns, and Paul is eager and willing to help. I recommend his services to everyone I come across, and we plan to come to him for training. Thank you, Paul, for helping complete our family with Magnum. read more
