Paul is amazing. He took our 8 week old toy breed and made him into a well socialized pup. He is…read moreextremely helpful, fair priced, and accommodating. At 5 months, Paul will be taking our pup for 3 weeks. This will be for the deep-dive obedience class, in which leash training, basic commands, etc. will be learned. I trust that Paul could likely train your dog to do anything, so I highly recommend using him for training of your puppy / dog!

Bam-Bam was well behaved as a result of training. Training skills that I acquired when I joined a…read moreclass at Ultimate Dog which Jean led. Jean helped me train my late 150 lb Bull Mastiff. I still receive compliments from friends and family that remember him. With that said, that was years ago. I took Bam-Bam to Ultimate Dog at 4 months? Maybe slightly older. It was the best decision I made. Jean's style, at the time, was perfect for me and my family. She was clear, direct, and could identify the subtle mistake(s) in my instruction. That was key - to know what you are doing wrong while training your dog so you can correct it. My recommendation is to ask questions and have the mindset that you are seeking to learn how YOU will train your dog and you must put in the time. I recall a dog owner from our class that didn't do the exercises and blamed her Rottie for being disobedient. I don't write a ton of reviews but just had a conversation with a friend and Bam-Bam came up in conversation. Thanks Jean, you made me look good whenever anyone met Bam-Bam.

We found after 4 private sessions with Jean we were the ones who needed the training as well as the dog! Though he's not perfect (yet) he's well on his way! We plan on taking him to her distraction classes as other dogs seem to be his biggest issue. We've done training with other trainers in Monmouth County and Jeans methods hands down have been the best for us and our dog!

I have one nervous dog that doesn't warm up to strangers, but the sitters have been caring and patient with her every time. We can enjoy our vacations that much more knowing that our girls are in good hands. The sitters leave detailed notes for each day they visit and are extremely thorough with each visit (accidents cleaned up, if necessary, mail and packages taken in, play time with girls, outside time, etc.) They have even accommodated last minute changes to our scheduled visits. Extremely professional and friendly business you can trust! No more kennels for my girls!

Don't bring your dog to the brick, nj dog park if this business is there. I witnessed several…read moreemployees training a dog outside the fenced in area and finally brought the dog into the fenced in part to train it WITH it's leash on. Obviously a dog ran over because it's a dog park and the employees were very rude to the other dog, telling its owner to "get control of your dog". May be a fine company, but just a heads up for all dog owners in Brick who take their dog to the dog park for off leash fun. I left with my dog after seeing this because I didn't feel like getting scolded by a bunch of angry unprofessional looking "dog trainers". They also grabbed the other dog that didn't belong to them, even though that dog did not bite their dog, only got somewhat dominant. Tip for the company: maybe don't bring a leashed dog into an off-leash dog park and expect other dogs not to dominate. Makes no sense. Also don't grab another persons dog by it's collar just because it's disturbing your "training lesson". The park doesn't just belong to you.

Mike and Amy just left my home where they helped turn my 100 lb American Bulldog's negative and seemingly aggressive behavior completely around. While we know we must continue to work with him, we now know what we need to do to help him become a better K-9 citizen. They will not only show you what to do, they will explain why you need to do it. They will also explain why your dog is behaving the way he/she is. Understanding why your dog is behaving badly is just as important as knowing how to correct it. This not only includes handling your dog with basic obedience but having more awareness in social situations and an understanding of your dog's body language which will help you to proactively correct your dog before a closed mouth becomes a bite. Anyway, they were great. Call them. You won't regret it.

He is more than reasonable & quite frankly the only trainer I got along with. And I spoke to several self proclaimed as "BEST" from NNJ to CT to upstate NY, none of which the initial call ended pleasantly. Others claim to be so great yet try to pitch an absolute need to send dog off to a 3 week college in order to achieve any results. On the initial phone call I was able to determine Tommy was reasonable, trustworthy and if anyone could be a success story I found the best. I was offered a initial demo/lesson in which further proved my intuition was right on. Snooki achieved results/improvement she never exhibited prior. He not only can work with your pet, but has the ability to show the client how to get the pet to obey commands & "communicate" whats expected with your pet. He didn't have to "push" anything + is always extremely patient, flexible & giving of his time which I have to value & appreciate. A+ Thank-you

I was told he's doing great and coming out of his shell as he was nervous when I dropped him off. I didn't hear from anyone until Tuesday October 5th (the day before pickup) when I received a voicemail from Mallory that she needed to speak with me. When I returned her call I was informed that my dog had a rash on his neck and wanted to tell me before picking him up the next day and it shouldn't be a "cause for concern." She stated that the day after he was dropped off, staff noticed a tiny itchy, dry spot on his neck that progressively got worse. She continued to repeat that they didn't want this to be a cause for concern and naturally concerned, I asked to be sent a picture of the rash. This was no rash at all. The picture I was sent showed my dog next to a trainer with a raw, oozing wound where his jaw meets the base of his neck. It looked very infected and he definitely needed medical treatment so I immediately went to the facility to pick him up. When I arrived, I did not find my dog in the same condition as shown in the picture I received just an hour earlier. His wound was dry and completely scabbed over. The staff stated the wound looked much better than before (because it was healing). I immediately took him to the vet for a thorough exam and our vet diagnosed a skin infection of the hair follicles caused by injury to the skin. He also estimated that the original picture I was sent earlier that day was taken at least a few days prior. The vet also estimated that this injury occurred at least a full week prior to the training staff notifying me. Not only did my dog have an infected injury on his neck, he also had an infected wound on his testicles, had lost a significant amount of weight, as well as developing upper respiratory infection. Prior to sending him to the facility he was a big overweight with a very thick coat. The dog I picked up had lost at least 10 lbs and his spine and hip bones can be felt to the touch. The picture I was sent from staff showed a very obvious infection and the staff neglected to care for my dog or notify me that he needed medical treatment and attempted to treat this wound themselves with only A&D ointment. When asked about the 24 hour veterinarian on call mentioned on the training facility website, the staff stated they do not have a veterinarian on call. A bit misleading. After examining the neck wound we noticed small bumps around the sides of the wound that seem consistent with a pronged collar. We don't know how these injuries occurred but it's very clear our dog was NOT properly cared for and the staff neglected to provide our dog with basic medical treatment or at the very least inform us that our dog needed to see a vet. I will NEVER recommend the Dan Gentile Training to anyone.

I'm writing now because we now have a new puppy and I was looking for training places and this place came up and brought up bad memories so I felt I needed to write our experience. We dropped our dog off and went on a trip so she could go through the program. Coming back to pick the dog up we couldn't wait to see our dog thinking she would be so excited to see us but to our surprise our dog was subdued and looked defeated. No tail wagging or anything. Before the trainer showed us what they did, she commented that if WE didn't follow directions we had to put $25 in this jar. We laughed it off as though she was kidding but to be honest I don't think she was. They walked us through what they did and the "progress" and mind you they had a spike collar on the dog so when you pull it digs right into their neck. The trainer was showing us and she pulled so hard my dog let out a painful yelp! It looked like torture to be honest. We immediately said we are done here and left ASAP! My dog eventually recovered and we found a dog trainer that used positive enforcements and she became her happy self again
