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 may be used, but only temporarily. When you need trusted dog and puppy trainers in NJ, count on Nora’s Dog Training Company. We'll never, ever bring harm to your pet.

Yes! As part of our dog behavior training, 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. Our dog trainers in NJ also have permission from the garden center next door to bring the dogs, where they're also trained on coping with many distractions.

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 trainers in NJ.

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 trainers in NJ, they won't be able to stick to what they learned. When we're 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.

According to the American Pet Products Association, about 92% of dog owners don't take their dogs to obedience class. However, the majority of them have the same issues. Our dog trainers 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.

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 more committed dog trainers in NJ!

Yes! Our dog trainers in NJ offer an optional round-trip transportation program for your dog so that you don’t have to travel at all. We'll 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.

We have found that the owners have a harder time being away from the dog than the dog is away from the owner. Don't worry; our day-to-day here at school keeps the doggies very busy. Although they learn so much while they're 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 working with our dog trainers in NJ.

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.

That's why we're a successful training school.
