In-Home Dog Training for Real-Life Behavior Challenges
Private training designed to restore calm, clarity, and connection in everyday life with your dog.
Thoughtful guidance tailored to your dog, your home, and your goals. My training focuses on clear communication, practical skills, and helping dogs and their people succeed together in everyday life.
Listening / Obedience:
Coming When Called, Pulling on Leash, Leave It, Drop It, Jumping, Stay, Go to Mat, Door Dashing
Bigger Behavioral Issues:
Barking aggressively at visitors
Snapping and lunging on leash at strangers or unfamilar dogs
Guarding of toys, food, or stolen objects
Fighting between resident dogs
Hypersensitivity about petting, or touching
Many pet guardians reach out during periods of transition — after welcoming a newly adopted dog, when a behavior concern begins affecting daily life, or when changes at home shift how their dog is coping and responding. Others are simply looking for guidance that feels more aligned with their values and their dog’s needs. Thoughtful, individualized support helps restore clarity and stability for both dog and guardian.
I frequently work with families throughout northern Bergen County, including Ho-Ho-Kus, Ridgewood, Tenafly, Ramsey, Demarest, Oradell, and Closter.
If life with your dog feels stressful or unpredictable, you’re not alone — and things can get better.

Recommended by Our Veterinarian
“My vet suggested both my dogs be trained by Brooke! I understand why. Brooke respects each dog understanding which rule to teach. She knows how to teach dogs what they need know to be a great family member.”

Your Questions Answered
Transparency matters. Here you’ll find clear answers to common questions about our training process and what to expect.
-
The number of lessons depends on your dog’s goals, temperament, and your desired level of involvement. During your initial consultation, I’ll recommend a clear training plan so you know exactly what to expect.
-
The right option depends on how involved you’d like to be in the hands-on training process.
Option 1 - Coaching: You'll observe the trainer demonstrate the techniques, then it's your turn to practice. Weekly meetings are scheduled, and it's important for you to continue practicing what you learn during your private lessons throughout the week.
Option 2 - Canine Concierge: Our premium service includes three training sessions per week for your dog. All necessary training supplies are provided. You'll attend one lesson a week to witness the progress your dog has made.

The Canine Concierge program provides many benefits of traditional board-and-train while keeping you fully involved and informed throughout the process. You can watch every trainer and dog only lesson or just join the weekly transfer lesson—it’s up to you. If you’re juggling a busy schedule or find repetitive training a chore, this package is for you.
