Off Leash K9 Training

I'm thrilled to share my experience of using Jacqueline Zinetti as the trainer in the Northern NJ Board and Train for my 2 pups Lucy and Ethel. My dogs are 2 year old Australian Cattle Dog and Boston Terrier mixed breed sisters. The dogs are only 25 lbs. but pulled me down the street and were uncontrollable. One was very reactive when she saw other dogs and would go after her sister in frustration. I had 5 trainers work with them to no avail. I threw caution to the wind and selected Jaqueline to board and train over many other trainers I saw. Jaqueline assured me that they were trainable and followed through with everything she said! Drop off, 3 weeks of training and pick up were expertly orchestrated! After training was over, our training began. Jaqueline gave us in person instruction on how to follow her training and also reviewed videos we sent. The investment in training our pets is so worth it! We now can enjoy them and can live happily without all the frustration that we were experiencing before the training.

I did extensive research whenever I was looking for a board and train program to send my almost two year old goldendoodle to when I found Jacqueline Zinetti in Northern New Jersey. We were looking for a boarding and training program that we could send him to in an effort to teach him recall, firm up his basic obedience (he did not have any notable issues like aggression, guarding, anything like that) and just overall to learn how to communicate with him more effectively. Jacqueline Zinetti is a master of her craft and I have the utmost respect for her as a person and her skills when it comes to training. It is obviously a little scary to think about sending your fur baby away for a few weeks, but Jacqueline made us feel comfortable when we met with her for drop off. I knew our baby was going to be safe, loved, and that he would get the training he deserves (as well as the training WE needed as his owners!). This board and train program was the best thing for both our pup and for us as owners. His recall is PERFECT, no more selective listening, and I think our pup has thrived with the discipline and boundaries this training has provided for all of us. This program is a serious commitment for both you and your dog though - so YOU as an owner need to be willing to put in the work on the back end to maintain all the hard work Jacqueline has put in on the front end. The follow up training sessions were absolutely necessary and helpful and you need to stay committed to yourself and your dog to get the full benefits out of this board and train program. With that being said, I 100% recommend Jacqueline Zinetti in Northern New Jersey. You and your pup will not regret it!

Jacqueline Zinetti is by far and above the most experienced, professional dog trainer in this area. Our golden retriever changed his behavior completely after being with Jacqueline. More importantly, she is so caring and passionate about all of the animals and their well being. I would highly recommend Jacqueline to anyone looking for serious trialing that will last a lifetime. She is worth every penny and more!!!

We entrusted our eight month old, 12 pound puppy to Jacqueline for a three week board and train session, and we couldn't be more thrilled with the results. To say we were nervous about taking this step is an understatement: we worried about the negative effect training might have on our pup's wonderfully exuberant personality, the impact of the e-collar on her teeny body, and our ability to maintain the training with two kids at home. Our worries were for naught. Our pup is as happy, healthy, and sweet as she's always been -- just calmer, easier to manage, and in sync with our family. It finally feels like we understand each other, and this has led to so much more enjoyment of our time together. We are so grateful to have found Jacqueline, a true professional, a lovely person, and an honest-to-goodness dog whisperer. To have been able to take home even a piece of her wisdom with us has made our relationship with our puppy even better than we could have imagined.

Had a wonderful experience with Jacqueline Zinetti and her training program. We adopted a standard size Goldendoodle pup named Bella whom I used to describe as a "bull in a china shop." You couldn't leave her in the house for a minute without her jumping on someone, biting ankles, jumping on furniture, and just having so much erratic energy, I was beginning to doubt whether she would ever fit in with our family. After Bella's training with Jacqueline, I was amazed at the transformation. Bella gives me eye contact, listens and comes when called, responds amazingly well to her e-collar (which I hardly ever even use because we mostly don't need it), walks off leash on the beach (where I do use the e-collar to get her to come back if she wanders too far). It's just been an overall amazing experience with Jacqueline and I'm so grateful that I decided to choose her to train my pup. We are loving life together and without this training, I have no doubt that we still would be struggling. Would recommend Jacqueline Zinetti to anyone needing any type of training with their dog!
