She's educated, personable, and caring towards you and your pets. One quality that sets her apart from others is her ability to break down the canine behavior into something you'll understand. She establishes a game plan that will set you and your pet up for success. From her busy life as a pet sitter and canine behaviorist, to volunteering the extra time she has at the local animal shelter, Andrea is an extremely talented and kind hearted person; I hope anyone reading this gets the pleasure of working with Andrea.

We brought our 2.5-year-old hound/boxer mix, Buster, to Strong House Training Center in Bordentown,…read moreNJ because we were struggling with some challenging behavior issues. From the start, Chris Carr was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly dedicated to helping both dogs and their families. Over the course of 10 days, Buster received 4-5 training sessions per day -- and the transformation was nothing short of amazing. When we picked him up, Chris spent a full hour training my son and me, making sure we understood how to maintain the progress at home. Since returning, Buster has been a completely different dog -- calmer, more focused, and so much more enjoyable to be around. We've even had friends and neighbors compliment his improved leash manners and overall behavior. Chris truly gave us the tools and confidence we needed to bring out the best in Buster, and we couldn't be more grateful. If you're considering a training program, I can't recommend Chris Carr and Strong House Training Center enough!

Honestly amazed at what Chris accomplished with our dog Figgy in just one session. Figgy is a 14…read moremonth old rescue who had issues with jumping, hated cars and was horrible on a leash. We had to spend 5 minutes just to load him into our car and would have to lift him in. When on a leash he would pull either pull or just lay down. Within 5 minutes Chris had him walking without pulling on a leash and got him to voluntarily jump in the back of our SUV! Chris walked us through his training process, the commands he would teach based upon our feedback of areas we wanted addressed as priority. The hardest part was waiting to the the results but as the saying goes good thing come to those who wait! The dog we picked up no longer jumped upon greeting, walked on a leash and was overall a much better behaved animal. Chris walked us through the training, gave recommendation and welcomed us to contact him with any questions or concerns. I would like to say the key takeaway which Chris stressed and I'll attest to is reinforcing the training; especially with a dog like Figgy who prior was allowed to let his bad behavior be considered acceptable. We ended up getting sick shortly after bring Figgy home and within a few day some of the bad behavior started to surface. Once we were able to get back to daily reinforcing his training from Chris he settled right back in to being the dog we knew he could be and Chris helped bring out. We are 100% satisfied with the results from Stronghaus and would highly recommend. Are the results worth it if you are willing to put in the work and stick with the training; 1000% yes! Chris showed us how to act as Figgy's leader, alleviating him from acting on bad behavior and being a dog who is now as laid back as can be and loving his new life. Worth every penny!

The first "parents only" class was incredibly informative and was a good way for us to gain some understanding in how our dog thinks and behaves. Nicole and Cheryl were both so incredibly patient with all of the pets and puppy parents. We learned valuable skills and practice often at home! Had we not moved out of state, we would have continued to keep going to classes and socials at Heavenly Hounds! Even with our move, Nicole helped us find a dog training school near our new home to continue working and building on what we've already learned. Can't say enough good things about Heavenly Hounds!!

I did some research and found all the amazing reviews for Heavenly Hounds, so I decided to sign up for their puppy social and puppy Kindergarten class. Stephanie is our instructor and she is awesome, always giving advice and willing to answer all my numerous questions. My puppy is learning and I am learning with him as well. Puppy Social is great as well, it's not a dog free for all. The dogs are split up by size and temperament, this is great for dogs who might be very shy or even extremely outgoing. The trainers watch the dog interactions like a hawk and give you real time feedback on what is appropriate interactions and quickly defuse any interaction that might lead to something not positive. I would highly recommend Heavenly Hounds training to anyone looking for a caring and positive experience for your dog.

A friend had recommended her name when I was struggling as a first time dog owner with a rescued adult dog who was showing human aggression and severe case of separation anxiety. When the shelter/rescue group/foster was giving me no support, Chantal was like a guardian angel. She spent endless amount of time with me on phone sharing her experience, knowledge and insight. Her calming and soothing voice was a blessing when I was feeling at my wit's end. She was available via texts even on weekends and late evenings, no matter how serious or silly my question was. She had given me vets and therapists names to consult and books to read all of which helped me moving from one day to another deciding on my next step. Unfortunately I had to end up surrendering the dog. But I wholeheartedly recommend Chantal to anyone. Her kindness and professionalism amazed me.

My mother brought her 5-year-old, 22-pound Mini Dachshund in for a routine wellness exam and vaccinations. During checkout, we noticed that the paperwork we were given belonged to an entirely different dog. Naturally, this raised serious concerns about whether our dog had even received the correct vaccine. After questioning the staff, it took them quite some time to investigate and admit that they had documented our dog's vaccination under another patient's record. As if that wasn't concerning enough, we were then sent home with medication dosed for a 44-pound dog--twice the weight of our dog. We had to return to the clinic and insist that they verify and provide the correct dosage. Unfortunately, it didn't stop there. On that same day, we discovered that the replacement medication they provided was expired. When we brought this to their attention, the veterinarian dismissed our concerns and told us it was "fine" to give to our dog. I'm sorry, but would you give expired medication to your child? Why would you think it's acceptable to give expired medication to someone's beloved family pet? Three major mistakes in a single visit: incorrect patient records, incorrect medication dosage, and expired medication. These are not minor clerical errors--they are serious issues that directly impact the health and safety of animals entrusted to your care. We left with zero confidence in this clinic and will never be returning. Pet owners deserve better. Costing visit for tragical experience was $300.
