  We love to help our clients learn how to enjoy their pups not to chase them around the house and yell at them. If you need a hand we are here to help improve your relationships with your dog.

  My husband is amazing with dogs. He puts in every effort he can into finding what works best for each dog he sees. If you are willing to put in the hard work to build a every lasting relationship with your dog than he would be the trainer for you & your furry companion.

  As most of my family, friends and colleagues know, I consider myself an experienced dog owner. I’ve had a dog in my life ever since I was 4 years old. So, when it came time to adopt my second Siberian Husky, I figured I was well equipped and ready for the challenge since Huskies can be a very demanding breed. Boy was I wrong!!! Just like people, every dog has a unique personality and behavior. At around 6 months, my new puppy Fredo decided he didn’t want to stay home alone anymore and every opportunity he had to destroy something in the house while I was at work and the girls were at school, he took it. After destroying “4” pieces of furniture, jumping up on the kitchen counter, taking dishes out of the sink and even chewing through a few wires and even the cable, I decided that was enough. My good friends the Zarichaks recommended Dan Dowling and NJ DOGS Training Center. From the first hour, it was immediately evident that he knew his way around this difficult breed and had a strong knowledge of dog behavior in general. Dan was able to give me countless training techniques and more importantly constant support. Dan doesn’t just focus on your dog, he will also train you. The key to a successful behavior modification for your dog is that you are fully committed and consistently follow through with training every day. Because of this, I now can recognize certain behaviors that have been problematic and address them immediately before there is an issue. I can confidently say, Fredo is now a happy and well-adjusted boy. His destructive behavior is a thing of the past. I feel very fortunate to have met Dan and NJ DOGS, because not only is he a fantastic dog trainer, Dan is a genuinely kind and caring person, who is never too busy to return a phone call or reach out to check in on Fredo. It says a lot about a trainer, when your dog not only show great improvement, but are so happy and excited each time they see him. Working with Dan is so much more than just a couple of classes. It is an ongoing relationship that benefits not just Fredo but my entire family. Can’t say enough about NJ DOGS……thanks so much Dan!

  Dan is excellent in reading and understanding the behavior of my pup and guiding us in how to best manage inappropriate behavior. Great session. Thanks Dan!

  I want to thank Daniel Dowling of NJ DOGS TRAINING CENTER for helping me learn how to train my dog. He taught me so much in just one day, he made me realize that my dog isn't the one doing anything wrong it's mostly me that is doing something wrong. I have a lot of practice to do with handling my dog Junior. My dog in just one day is already a 100% better and listening skills are better. If you want to be a great owner and care for your dog by training your dog the right way please take the time and message him, you will be amazed how smart your dog really is.

  Dan made such an impact in our dogs behavior in our first session. I was honestly amazed at the progress he made with our dogs. We had tried everything we knew to do with our lab mix that had a behavior of pulling when on a leash to the point of making walks an unpleasant experience. After our first session, she is now no longer pulling as she used to and walking has become pleasant. I will now have a jogging partner, which I've always desired with her, but it was impossible because of her pulling. I would highly recommend his training to others without hesitation.

  Dan is a very knowledgeable trainer who helped me tremendously with my rambunctious Lab.Dan is always available to address any problems or concerns that you might have.After several training sessions, I now have a manageable dog who I'm sure will bring us a great deal of enjoyment,

  Dan I really can't thank you enough!!! I appreciate the time you took with my daughter and I!! You are extremely knowledgeable about dogs and their behavior! Within the first few minutes of working with each of our 3 dogs you totally nailed their personality and gave excellent tips for us to work with each one!!! We have been working with them and what a difference it has made!! Thank you for following your dream!! It is truly your calling!!

  Dan has done wonders for my rescue dog!! She came to me an anxious, fearful mess! I had no back story, but she was obviously abused and terrified of men. Most trainers would shy away from working with this type of dog, but Dan accepted the challenge. Today, 10 sessions later, my Fiona is a loving, happy, obedient pup. She has learned how to be a dog. She loves to run and play... especially on the beach! She loves to walk in the evening, off leash, and take in her surroundings. I can't say enough good things about Dan's training!

  I recommend NJ Dogs Training LLC. purchased a shepherd puppy that had numerous puppy issues. Dan came to the rescue. I booked the three hour training class. Dan sat with us and asked questions about our issues we had with our puppy he was attentive and immediately started training with us. We really only needed an hour because in that time he had our puppy behaving exactly the way he needed to be. The rest of the time was spent training us!! Daniel is very knowledgeable about dog psychology and always up-to-date on the newest methods. Training and help doesn't stop there he is always readily available should you need additional help whether its a phone call or another session.
