She then helped me gain his focus when we started Scout's agility training. Laura takes the time and will work with you and your dog to develop a good relationship between you and your canine companion. If one way doesn't work, she will suggest alternatives to work through a situation. She is compassionate and will always end a session on a good note. I highly recommend TLC Dog Training!

My dogs have been coming here for 5-6 years. We loved the way our dogs were treated and cut. New owners took over about a year or so ago, and BOY CAN YOU TELL from the immediate drop in ratings - from all being highly rated to all being one star. L O L Yesterday, our dog was 12 minutes late for his cut, because we had an emergency. Previously, in the 5-6 years of taking our dogs here, we were late maybe 3 times, but they called me to tell me that as we "have a history of being late, the owners now need us to pre-pay for every single appointment if we want to continue sending our dogs there." I further asked to speak to the owners but was never allowed to. I then asked, if we pre-pay for our dogs, and something comes up and we need to re-schedule appointments even A WEEK IN ADVANCE, can we do so? To which she responded "no, payment is non-transferrable" so i asked what if there is an emergency, we are just charged anyway? And she said "yes payment is non transferrable" I again kindly said we were coming there for 5-6 years and I felt we were being treated a little harshly and that was it. Next day, I bring my other dog in for his cut. Asked to speak to owners again. Not able to. Spoke to front desk and girl that cuts my dogs' hair. She stated "I spoke to the owners and due to the events and behavior of yesterday, as we have a no-tolerance policy for that, today will be your last appointment." Appalled. My dogs are 13 years old. One has congestive heart failure and epilepsy along with other problems, and the other has arthritis. I felt so comfortable sending my dogs here since they are used to the girl who cuts their hair, have always been treated properly, cut perfectly, and have never been cut/hurt. I now have to search for a new groomer that I am comfortable sending my 13 year old dogs to. Not to mention, I have sent SO many people here to have their dogs groomed. I am informing EACH AND EVERY ONE of this happening. And they will loose each and every one of these clients. As for the dog that was late to his appointment by 12 minutes, he never got cut and we prepaid for my other dog that went the next day. They charged us the wrong amount (charged us for my bigger dog who never got cut). We asked them why the card was charged 85 dollars (my dog is 5 pounds) and they said "oops sorry looks like we charged you for the bigger dog by accident, we will TRY to get the extra money refunded back to you" TRY? Your mistake. Fix it. And get rid of these new owners.

We absolutely couldn't be happier with Linda at NJ Fix My Dog and the incredible transformation of…read moreour dog Millie. As first-time dog owners, we tried our best to train Millie on our own, but it just wasn't cutting it. We constantly struggled with obedience and her inability to listen to us, intense pulling when we went on walks, jumping, getting mouthy - the list goes on and on. We felt defeated and insecure - but as soon as we talked with Jean and Linda at NJ Fix My Dog, we felt hopeful! They assured us Millie was the kind of dog that could be helped, and they'd be happy to step in.  Throughout Millie's 2 week bootcamp, we received frequent updates from Linda on Millie's progress, photos, and videos. We missed her but we knew she was in excellent care and learning so much everyday. After the 2 week bootcamp, Linda brought Millie home and we were in shock at how well-behaved, and well-mannered suddenly became. The day she came home, Linda spent over an hour with us going over what Millie learned and how to work with her going forward. She also gave us a full document with an assessment of Millie's overall behavior, how to continue to enforce what she learned, and how encourage her along the way.  Before bootcamp, we dreaded going for a walk with Millie because of how she behaved when she saw other dogs (pulling toward them, whimpering, getting anxious, etc.), and how she walked in general (tugging and zig-zagging the entire walk). Now she walks like an absolute DREAM! Right at our side, a nice little trot, ignores other dogs, people, squirrels - everything! We could walk her all day long now, and we look forward to all our walks! Millie used to ignore us when we called for her, or told her "no" if she was doing something we didn't like, but now her recall skills are excellent and she runs right over to us when we call her. She doesn't even try to attempt the bad behavior she used to do, like jumping, getting mouthy, etc., and instead happily relaxes. Her overall demeanor used to be just a little bit intense, always on the lookout for something to get into - but now she is so calm and seems at east with herself. Linda worked WONDERS! We learned so much about Millie through this process, and we truly feel comfortable with what Linda taught us to help Millie be her best self. We feel like we have the tools we need, and the confidence. We feel the support of NJ Fix My Dog now even after Millie is back home - we know Linda is just a call or text away if we need any help.

We were seeking some help with our 13 week old Lab mix puppy's aggressive play issues…read more(nipping/biting) and other behavioral issues (walking well on leash, not dropping items off floor, ground, etc.). We were fully aware of what a puppy goes through at this age, however, we had never seen a puppy so independent/head strong before. Given we have two young daughters (9 & 5), we wanted to ensure our puppy established a solid behavior foundation. We found Jean & Fix My Dog after unsuccessfully working with a few different trainers online. Within the first 30 minutes of our session with Jean, we had already learned so much about both our new puppy's and our own behaviors. After the hour was over, we were very confident we had found the right place to help us with our puppy training. Given the current pandemic, we hoped to find a trainer that could not only help with the behavioral issues, but also socialize our pup well enough to other dogs, people, children, etc. As a result, Jean paired us up with Christy, a trainer who lives on a lot of land, has dogs and other animals, and plenty of people around to help socialize our pup. We spoke with Christy on the phone to go over her approach, felt great about it, came up with a list of behavioral focus areas, signed a contract, selected a day for Christy to come pick up our puppy, and off she went for 2 weeks! The training process was handled so well.. Christy kept us informed with photos, videos, and lots of daily updates. We were even able to do a few online video sessions to see our puppy and to ask questions about how the training was going. It was 100% clear that our puppy was getting the attention she needed and was being trained as part of a family and not as just another dog in a training facility. (SO IMPORTANT!) We were noticing tremendous progress with our puppy over videos after the first few days of training. When she returned home after the 2 weeks were up, it was almost as if we had a perfectly re-wired puppy. It was absolutely clear that the training was effective and our puppy now had a solid behavioral foundation to work with. Christy and her family were extremely loving with our dog, and were clearly able to address all of the behavioral points we asked for through positive reinforcement and appropriate correction practices. Upon her return, we received many instructional videos and a manual to keep us (owners) in line on how to maintain all of the great work put in place. If you were like us, seeking a trainer to help build a strong behavioral foundation for your puppy, I would HIGHLY recommend Christy @ NJ Fix My Dog. We simply could not have found a better situation both for us and our puppy.

Her reviews were all positive and consistent in their comments, and her rates were listed and extremely reasonable. Karin responded to my inquiry within an hour and we had a scheduled phone call that same evening. She came to our home the next night. When she arrived, she quietly observed our new puppy and our nine-year-old dog, and then gave us detailed instructions on what she wanted us to do. She also had us try some of those instructions while she was still there to guide us. At the end of the visit, we scheduled another session for two weeks from that date. Things are already so much better in our home. Karin got right to the root of our puppy's issues and quickly came up with a plan for us to execute. She is a great communicator and just made everything seem doable. Most importantly, our dogs responded to her immediately. She clearly understands dogs and likes them. It was easy to see that, for her, it was about them as individuals, and not about a set method that she adheres to. From our first conversation, I could see that Karin loves what she does. She is curious, observant, and determined to find a way to help her clients and their dogs to understand each other better and to build relationships based on trust and consistency. She just calms the chaos that having a puppy can sometimes lead to! Do not hesitate to turn to her.
