Pat is truly amazing. We have two dogs, a cat and a nine month old, so most days we live in…read moreorganized chaos. We have had other "trainers" before but none like Pat. Our main goals were to address poor manners when people came over (jumping/barking), poor leash manners (pulling/leading the walk/leash aggression for one of them), and all around general behavior training. We wanted, and needed, help to rectify these things before our son became truly mobile. We emailed Pat on a Friday night and he called the next day. We spoke for over an hour and he reassured us that things would be okay. We scheduled a training session for later that week and haven't looked back. He is an incredible teacher; he took the time to learn about our dogs, our family dynamic, and what our hopes were for the training sessions. He began teaching us right away and showed us how to get into the minds of our dogs. We are five sessions in and there has been such a vast improvement already. We are currently working on walking both dogs and pushing the stroller - a dream of mine - that is soon to be a reality. We genuinely look forward to each session and getting to hang with Pat. Our pack was definitely out of whack but Pat has been instrumental in teaching us how to teach our dogs and reframe our thinking. If you are looking for a no BS, honest, caring trainer/behaviorist, and you are willing to trust someone, and put in the time and work, look no further - he is definitely your guy. We cannot recommend him enough.

Words cannot describe how grateful our family is to have met Tom and for all of the work he has…read moredone with our dogs. We first started working with Tom when we brought our second (yes second!!) puppy home. We were trying to integrate 2 puppies under 6 months old (a Lab and Shih Tzu) in 1 household. Tom gave us reassurance and additional tips and tricks to manage the household with 2 puppies. Our Lab went through the offleash training program that Tom has to offer and it is incredible how quickly she learned! Tom has the patience that you'd want in any dog trainer and is so extremely knowledgeable. He treated our dogs like they were his own and never rushed us through our sessions. Tom takes the time and really invests his energy into his clients and their success. During the timing of our offleash training, we were experiencing some territorial behavior issues with our Shih Tzu. If it wasn't for Tom, I don't know how we would have ever gotten our Shih Tzu to be where he is now. He is a completely better and different dog than he was. He listens better than any Shih Tzu I have ever met (especially being a stubborn breed)! If you are looking for a trainer who cares, who is knowledgeable, and who will invest the time into your dogs, you found the right person. Tom, thank you again for all that you have done for Dakota and Moose! We are forever grateful for you!!!

I cannot begin to tell you how fortunate I was to find Tom's card at my vet's office. I have a 7…read moreyear old Pug that I trained by myself but when I introduced a Pug puppy I knew I needed help. All that Tom did with Dahlia (6 months old) Tulip (7 years old) wanted to be included which Tom did willingly. He would show me something a few times then hand me the leash to do it myself. Everything he taught 'us' we did at least 2-3 times a day every day and that is what you have to do to keep the puppy learning. Of course his Happy Howie treats that he carries in a bag no his belt was the best incentive ever. He even sent me a picture of what I should buy on Amazon. Both dogs love it and really listen to the commands to get some of the treats. Even Tulip does "Place" now a well as Dahlia! I can't say enough about Tom...his manner, personality and his huge repertoire are the best things about him except his professional manner. Dahlia and I are working hard on 'off leash' and he is doing really well. I would recommend Tom to anyone having an behavior problems.. He also will text you back with any issues you might have which is the best part of it all. Thank you Tom for everything!!

He was treated well, but was very isolated and therefore was challenging with other people and animals. Iohana came over a few times to review our dog and give us helpful ways to overcome his aggression. She started us on clicker training with him, something I had not used before. Thanks to her training and teaching us, the dog is making strides and we have high hopes that he will be fully adoptable in the future. Would recommend her without hesitation! As an added bonus, she's a graduate of the animal behavior program at Bucknell, where my daughter currently goes!

We absolutely couldn't be happier with Linda at NJ Fix My Dog and the incredible transformation of…read moreour dog Millie. As first-time dog owners, we tried our best to train Millie on our own, but it just wasn't cutting it. We constantly struggled with obedience and her inability to listen to us, intense pulling when we went on walks, jumping, getting mouthy - the list goes on and on. We felt defeated and insecure - but as soon as we talked with Jean and Linda at NJ Fix My Dog, we felt hopeful! They assured us Millie was the kind of dog that could be helped, and they'd be happy to step in.  Throughout Millie's 2 week bootcamp, we received frequent updates from Linda on Millie's progress, photos, and videos. We missed her but we knew she was in excellent care and learning so much everyday. After the 2 week bootcamp, Linda brought Millie home and we were in shock at how well-behaved, and well-mannered suddenly became. The day she came home, Linda spent over an hour with us going over what Millie learned and how to work with her going forward. She also gave us a full document with an assessment of Millie's overall behavior, how to continue to enforce what she learned, and how encourage her along the way.  Before bootcamp, we dreaded going for a walk with Millie because of how she behaved when she saw other dogs (pulling toward them, whimpering, getting anxious, etc.), and how she walked in general (tugging and zig-zagging the entire walk). Now she walks like an absolute DREAM! Right at our side, a nice little trot, ignores other dogs, people, squirrels - everything! We could walk her all day long now, and we look forward to all our walks! Millie used to ignore us when we called for her, or told her "no" if she was doing something we didn't like, but now her recall skills are excellent and she runs right over to us when we call her. She doesn't even try to attempt the bad behavior she used to do, like jumping, getting mouthy, etc., and instead happily relaxes. Her overall demeanor used to be just a little bit intense, always on the lookout for something to get into - but now she is so calm and seems at east with herself. Linda worked WONDERS! We learned so much about Millie through this process, and we truly feel comfortable with what Linda taught us to help Millie be her best self. We feel like we have the tools we need, and the confidence. We feel the support of NJ Fix My Dog now even after Millie is back home - we know Linda is just a call or text away if we need any help.

We were seeking some help with our 13 week old Lab mix puppy's aggressive play issues…read more(nipping/biting) and other behavioral issues (walking well on leash, not dropping items off floor, ground, etc.). We were fully aware of what a puppy goes through at this age, however, we had never seen a puppy so independent/head strong before. Given we have two young daughters (9 & 5), we wanted to ensure our puppy established a solid behavior foundation. We found Jean & Fix My Dog after unsuccessfully working with a few different trainers online. Within the first 30 minutes of our session with Jean, we had already learned so much about both our new puppy's and our own behaviors. After the hour was over, we were very confident we had found the right place to help us with our puppy training. Given the current pandemic, we hoped to find a trainer that could not only help with the behavioral issues, but also socialize our pup well enough to other dogs, people, children, etc. As a result, Jean paired us up with Christy, a trainer who lives on a lot of land, has dogs and other animals, and plenty of people around to help socialize our pup. We spoke with Christy on the phone to go over her approach, felt great about it, came up with a list of behavioral focus areas, signed a contract, selected a day for Christy to come pick up our puppy, and off she went for 2 weeks! The training process was handled so well.. Christy kept us informed with photos, videos, and lots of daily updates. We were even able to do a few online video sessions to see our puppy and to ask questions about how the training was going. It was 100% clear that our puppy was getting the attention she needed and was being trained as part of a family and not as just another dog in a training facility. (SO IMPORTANT!) We were noticing tremendous progress with our puppy over videos after the first few days of training. When she returned home after the 2 weeks were up, it was almost as if we had a perfectly re-wired puppy. It was absolutely clear that the training was effective and our puppy now had a solid behavioral foundation to work with. Christy and her family were extremely loving with our dog, and were clearly able to address all of the behavioral points we asked for through positive reinforcement and appropriate correction practices. Upon her return, we received many instructional videos and a manual to keep us (owners) in line on how to maintain all of the great work put in place. If you were like us, seeking a trainer to help build a strong behavioral foundation for your puppy, I would HIGHLY recommend Christy @ NJ Fix My Dog. We simply could not have found a better situation both for us and our puppy.

When it became obvious that muzzling, scolding and isolation only escalated his unruly excitability, I reached out to Happy Dog Training (Samantha Cordon) for help. Learning to reward Lucky's good manners with positive reinforcement while introducing calming techniques has created a respectful bond between us and a more pleasant atmosphere for our family and guests. Samantha's patient demeanor and true understanding of canine behavior as well as her useful recommendations -- including links to informative literature, tips/exercises and solution-related products -- were an extremely effective mix for shaping our crazed, 16-month-old, 80-pound housemate into a lovable, work-in-progress. The favorable outcome of Samantha's methods made such an impact on our family that I am planning to follow up with a refresher session in a few months as a means to prevent a backslide with my being consistent, and more optimistically -- demonstrate the success of our polite pup.
