Ruby was chosen for me at 4 weeks old by Andres Aportella; owner and head trainer at Pro Canine…read moreCenter in Frenchtown, NJ. To say it was a lengthy search is an understatement. He reached out to his many contacts here in the US and around the world. He turned down a lot of dogs before he chose the one he thought was the best dog for me. Ruby was trained under the watchful eye of Andres and a brilliant young trainer named Chiara Tonelli. She had the difficult task of learning all she could about my disabilities so she could train Ruby to be my service dog. This was no easy task as I have mobility issues due to advanced Parkinson's disease and a variety of neurological problems including a stroke and hearing loss from long Covid. I also suffer from PTSD. Chiara and the team at Pro Canine trained with Ruby and kept me up to date with videos and text messages. I needed training as well and I always came home with videos for reference. They worked hard with Ruby and I. In all of my hours there never once did I see anyone lose their patience, especially with me. I was much more difficult to train than Ruby. I'm a retired engineer so I ask a million questions, compounded by my neurological deficits I was a challenge. Through Chiara's careful consistent tutelage and fantastic dog training skills, Ruby and I learned to communicate, respect and above all trust each other. We succeeded in a way that was beyond my expectations. Because of Andres' and Chiara's amazing work with Ruby and I, I'm getting my life back. Ruby prevents me from falling, helps me up and down stairs, she helps me to navigate the outside world, and now I even go out with friends again. She spends countless hours calmly at my side during my many hospital stays, medical tests and lengthy treatments. She helps me navigate though NYC, including trains, subways, busses and cabs to get to the doctors and hospitals there. She handles all of this as easily as walk to our local park. My ER visits have gone from 1-2 a month to none since Ruby finished her training and has been living with me full time. Ruby's attention to me never wavers, even when people ignore her service vest and pet her or offer her food. Her training is incomparable, having earned her the respect of the K9 officers in the hospital and my local K9 officers (who continually threaten to steal her for the police force). There is a gentlemen living in my neighborhood who is a well respected dog trainer himself. He tried to break Ruby's concentration as a test while speaking with me and she even ignored him. It was no surprise that guessed correctly that she was trained at Pro Canine because of her excellent behavior. Andres and Chiara along with the entire team at ProCanine have my utmost respect and full endorsement. I will forever be grateful, without them I'm not sure I'd be here to write this.

Well, videos don't lie. He let my 10+ year old dog go 10+ hours without relieving himself. No regard for dog's well being. I am outraged and disappointed. Would not recommend Chris or ABS to anyone.

Prior to working with Daniel, my dog, Eugene, would bark, spin, mouth, run, and turn into a high-energy dog whenever someone entered my space, then stay high-energy after they left. It made me nervous having guests over. I put off dog training because I thought I could Google and read my way to a solution, we had a decent foundation in obedience on our own, and, frankly, Eugene and I had been stuck in our ways for some five years together. I wasn't sold on dog training. How wrong I was! Daniel's expertise went above and beyond anything I could've figured out myself. He helped me apply the obedience work we'd already done to create stronger boundaries and a better relationship. He noticed a few quirks in Eugene that meant generic dog advice just wasn't enough. Because Daniel has read so extensively in addition to his real-life experience, he could call out advice I'd picked up that wasn't serving us or help put it in context. Daniel is also dedicated to making the training process efficient -- he's not trying to sell you sessions you don't need -- and he makes himself available between sessions, which was a godsend as we were working through new behaviors. The result is a dog (and an owner) who is more confident and less anxious. Eugene has become a pleasure to be around, and I am so grateful for this. Thanks, Daniel!

An additional benefit is that Daniel made it clear that we could text him any time with questions. We can't thank Daniel enough for how he's helped us and can't recommend him enough to any other dog parents looking for assistance. Thank you Daniel!

If I lived in the Flemington area, Barkley's would be my go to source for all my pets needs. Hands down! The owner (Andy) is more than just an engaged proprietor -- he is a knowledgeable dog aficionado -- and his well behaved pets roam the store while you shop and make the experience that much more personal. I was amazed by the sheer volume of his stock of super premium and premium products (including everything I use) -- at prices comparable to what it costs me online. Barkley's also supports the local economy by stocking food and products made locally, and organically. My dog loved the place -- he played nicely with Andy's two boys -- earning him a fresh bag of Australian venison treats. There is something organic about a small business like Barkley's in a small town like Flemington that suits me. It is more than just the Americana vibe (that I love); it is also the commitment of the business to do its level best by the customers, human and canine. I like that.
