Garden State K9

My fiance and I rescued our puppy, Monte in May. He was very skiddish when we first brought him home and within the first two days, he escaped from the house and ran away. We came to learn he was afraid of loud noises, men and certain types of dogs and would try to flee away from these fears. We decided to bring him to Garden State K9 for training in August. Melissa Moroney was his trainer and Monte stayed with her for four weeks. When we picked Monte back up he was a brand new pup! We are now able to take him to the park and have him run around off leash and follow commands. He is able to play with other puppies and is super friendly and goofy. We are so thankful for Melissa and Garden State K9 for helping our puppy have the fun and worry free life we wanted for him! After Monte graduated from the Top Dog program, he now goes to the facility for group play and any parties they have. He has a blast with other dogs and always finds his way to Melissa to give her lots of love! Our pup has so much confidence and everyone says what a good boy he is, we are so glad he is able to have fun and we do not have to worry that he will escape or fear other dogs and we can thank Melissa for that! Monte is now starting agility training with Melissa at Garden State K9 for the next few weeks as he is very energetic and super fast! Looking forward to seeing Monte in action and working with Melissa again!

We brought our German Shepherd puppy to Garden State K9 for training on the recommendation of another GSD owner. Although our puppy had some previous training, we still had some undesirable behaviors. We started with the 2 weeks of day training. What a difference it has made in her behavior and she loves to go! Erin, her trainer, really has a handle on our puppy’s personality and it shows. Erin has also been very patient with the training of both me and my husband! We will be continuing and reinforcing our girl’s training by joining in the group training classes. We also plan to take advantage of the Group Play sessions. We have been very happy with Garden State K9. Highly recommend.

We sent our 3 year old pit mix to a board & train with James and he came back a changed dog!! He was so reactive towards kids and animals and with a new baby we wanted to take action immediately. James was so helpful during our lesson and treated our dog like he was one of his own. He definitely set us up for success to keep up with training and we are so excited to work with him again in the future! He’s the best- highly recommend! :)
