Why In-Home Training Fits Northern Valley Life

I regularly work with dog and puppy training clients throughout Englewood and the Northern Valley, helping families navigate real-world behavior challenges unique to neighborhood living, parks, and busy residential environments.

If you're part of our Northern Valley community and struggling with your dog’s behavior, in-home dog training might just be the solution you’ve been looking for. Unlike group classes or send-away training, in-home sessions offer a completely personalized way to train your dog in the comfort and security of your own home.

Serving Englewood and All of Bergen County

Many of my clients live in Englewood and surrounding Northern Valley community, but private dog training programs are available throughout Bergen County.

Meet Your Local Dog Trainer

Hello, I’m Brooke and next to me is my loyal sidekick Chip. Through my relationship with my own dogs, puppy pals and dog friends, I have gained valuable insight into the unique needs of every dog. Because dogs thrive in an environment where they can learn at their own pace, I specialize in private lessons at home or wherever your dog needs the most help behaving. If you're seeking effective results,I work with families throughout Englewood, Demarest, Closter, and nearby Northern Valley communities.

What It’s Like to Partner with Us

Brewster - and we- are very lucky to have had the benefit of Brooke’s training! Brooke is wonderful at what she does. She combines a love for dogs with real expertise. Even better, she does not see every dog as the same; she tries to understand them as individuals.

Sarah and Brewster, Cresskill

Our puppy made significant progress over the six-week course with Brooke. Nearly all of the issues we were initially experiencing with our puppy were resolved. Brooke made sure to provide comprehensive training exercises for us to work on between our weekly sessions, emphasizing that daily training is key to achieving the full benefits of the course.

Joon and Monet, Englewood

My vet suggested both my dogs be trained by Brooke! I understand why. Brooke is easy to get along with and FUN! She knows how to teach dogs what they need know to be a great family member.
