New Jersey (NJ) Dog Training & Behavior Consulting

New Jersey's Most Trusted Dog Training Professionals

Jersey Shore Dogs offers professional dog training and puppy training services in NJ including basic obedience, problem behavior solving and modification, and group training classes like puppy kindergarten. Since we are located in central New Jersey, providing in-home dog training allows us to service most of the state. Our approach ensures that each dog learns in a familiar environment, making lessons more effective and less stressful for both pets and their owners.

Why Choose Jersey Shore Dogs?

Trusted Expert in Behavior Challenges ✓

Specializing in separation anxiety and behavior modification, we’ve trained over 9,000 dogs and helped more than 5,000 families over the past 15 years. Owner and head trainer Matt combines formal education in canine behavior with years of hands-on experience, offering practical, compassionate support for even the toughest behavior issues.

Veterinarian-Approved ✓

Vets refer their clients to us because we offer a thoughtful, evidence-based approach to behavior issues — grounded in experience, not gimmicks. We work closely with families to set realistic goals and provide guidance that supports steady, sustainable progress.

Efficient and Practical Solutions ✓

We don’t waste your time or money on unnecessary consultations or complicated solutions. Simple management and training goals often get the job done faster and more effectively.

While other trainers are busy “watching” and taking notes (then ask you to buy a training session or package), we’re working from the moment we walk through your door. We don’t need to look at your dog in advance. Trust us, we’ve seen it all. All we ask is that you fill out a brief history form prior to your first session so we can hit the ground running when we get there. Each session is a working session.

When Other Methods Fall Short or Fail ✓

If you’ve worked with a trainer who used outdated “crank and yank” or aversive methods, and it didn’t work—you’re not alone. Many clients come to us after those harsh techniques fail and cause more harm than good. While not every case is reversible, we try to focus on rebuilding trust and helping dogs — and their people — move forward with a more thoughtful, humane approach.

We’re Not Your “Per Session” Trainer ✓

We’re not interested in quick, one-off sessions for clients who vanish after a couple of hours. We want dedicated clients who are ready to stay engaged and work with us throughout the process. If you’re committed to achieving lasting results and willing to stay involved, we’re the right fit for you.

One Price for Your Entire Pack ✓

Unlike others, we charge by household not per dog. Whether you have one or multiple dogs, we’re here to help the entire family.

No Expiring Visits ✓

Your sessions never expire. Whether you use your sessions within six months or spread them out over a year or more, we’re always here for you. Life happens, and we understand. We’re committed to provide ongoing support for as long as your dog is with you.

Lifetime Support ✓

Unlike other trainers who charge for ongoing support or limit it to a few months, we offer unlimited email and phone support for the life of your dog(s) on your contract. No extra fees. No time limits. Supporting you and your dog(s) shouldn’t come with an expiration date.
