FAQs

Nora's Dog Training Company

Have a dog training-related question? We have the answer. Check out these FAQs and give us a call today for more information!

  • How soon do I begin training?

    We recommend beginning training at 16 weeks or after your pet has received all of its vaccines. Contact us today for obedience training in NJ!

  • Do you physically punish the dogs in any way in your training program? Do you only use positive reinforcement?

    Dogs don't understand punishment. You must catch the bad behavior in the act and correct them, then praise good behavior. Remember, dogs love structure. Nora uses praise, not food as a motivator. In some cases with puppies food is used, but only temporarily. We are a trusted dog training school in NJ, and we'll never, ever bring harm to your pet.

  • Can you help with dogs who are aggressive toward other dogs during walks?

    Yes! As part of the dog behavior training in NJ, the dogs are taken on "field trips" where they go out for walks in the neighborhood. They'll be faced with many distractions: other dogs, kids on bikes, cats, squirrels, etc. This way, they learn to behave despite distractions. We also have permission from the garden center next door to bring the dogs, where they are also trained on coping with many distractions.

  • Is it true that certain breeds, like Beagles, can't be trained to be reliable off-leash?

    No, it's not true. All dogs can be trained when given the proper care. Nora used sporting dogs as an example. If your dog has struggled with training in the past, send them to our dog training school in NJ. 

  • What's the most common training mistake people make?

    Training dogs is the easiest part. However, their training relies on their owners being consistent in training as well. If you don't continue to train your dog after leaving our dog training school in NJ, they won't be able to stick to what they learned. When we are called by clients who are having difficulty with their dogs after they have been trained, it's usually because the owners have not stayed consistent with their training. Dogs don't forget what they have been taught once it's been taught to them.

  • What is the most common behavioral problem you deal with?

    According to Dogster, as many as 75% of the dogs in this country never receive professional training. However, the majority of them have the same issues. Our dog obedience trainer in NJ most often sees issues with separation anxiety, pulling while on walks, jumping on house guests, begging, chewing, and not coming when called. Housebreaking is also one of the most common reasons people send their dogs to us. 

  • Do you guarantee results?

    Nora offers a lifetime guarantee which is included in the price. Nora is so confident in the training she provides, she offers a lifetime guarantee for as long as the current owner owns the dog: any time, for any reason, a trainer will come to their house free of charge. You won't find a more committed dog obedience trainer in NJ!

  • I live far away from your school and would prefer not to drive that distance for my dog to get trained. Can I still hire your services?

    Yes! Nora's Dog Training Company offers an optional round-trip transportation program for your dog so that you don’t have to travel at all. We will arrive at your door and pick up your dog, transport them safely to their dog training school in NJ, and then return them back to your home after he/she has successfully completed our training program.

  • Two weeks is a long time to be away from my dog. Will he/she miss me? Remember me?

    We have found that the owners have a harder time being away from the dog than the dog is away from the owner. Our daily day here at school keeps the doggies very busy. Although they learn so much while they are here, they also have plenty of time to exercise and play. It doesn’t make a difference if your dog stayed with us for two weeks or two years; he/she will absolutely remember you after attending our dog training school in NJ.

  • What type of training techniques do you use to train the dogs?

    Our training techniques are all very humane. Every trainer at Nora's Dog Training Company is here because they LOVE dogs; they are our passion. Therefore, we have found over years of dog training experience that the most effective training method is positive reinforcement -- not food or treats! That's why we're a successful dog training school in NJ.
