Dog Trainers in South River

Hello! I am a high school English teacher who loves dogs! I am the proud parent of Winnie, a Boxer/Australian Shepherd mix, who was a “foster failure”. I love how excited she gets when she sees her leash, and can’t wait to see that same excitement with your dogs! I’ve cared for dogs my whole life, and have experience with special needs dogs and administering medicine to dogs.

I have always had a passion and love for animals! I have been dog walking and pet sitting for almost 20 years. I am also a certified dog trainer with over 6 years in the pet care industry, so I have a lot of experience working with and tending to dogs with a variety of needs on a daily basis. I also have years providing pet care services for cats and birds in addition to dogs!

I’m a certified professional dog trainer. I trained explosive detection canines for NYPD bomb squad, United States Police(CIA) and service dogs for wounded warriors returning from war. I’m also a good citizen evaluator and Occupational Animal Caretaker. I specialize in positive reinforcement training and believe that we should create the best possible experience for our pups through positive reinforcement and building confidence.

I have always have a big heart towards animals especially with dogs! I currently work at a doggy day care and do training on my own. I literally live and breath dogs. I used to work at grooming salon before I moved. I also have two of my own, I love them from the smallest chihuahua to the largest Great Dane. I understand that these are just dogs these are our family, our kids and they deserve the best! We love bring new friends on our lake days or hiking trips, we go almost every other day!

Hi Matthew here. Currently I'm a graduate student attending classes online to further my education. I currently have an 10 year old German Shepherd named Max, he's my best friend! I've always been fond of dogs since I was young. I realized that they make us better. At my old jobs I had tons of experience with dogs and taking care of them. My friends and family members all have dogs and I love and care about each and every one of them. I'm excited to meet your pups, I know we will have a blast!
