Why choose Boarding and Training with us?

We serve New Jersey, New York City, Southern NY State, and Eastern PA.

Thank you so much for your interest in our Manners and Life Skills Camp.

At NJ Fix My Dog, we don’t just teach obedience commands — we create confident, well-mannered dogs who are a joy to live with and a source of pride in your home and community.

We know how much you love your dog — but we also understand how frustrating daily life can feel at times when you’re dealing with constant jumping, barking, mouthing, leash pulling, or simply wishing your dog listened better. You’re not alone, and you’re in the right place — we’re here to help.

Our program is firmly based on experience, trust, and our genuine love for dogs. If you choose to move forward with us, we want to assure you that you’re not just hiring a trainer — you’re gaining a caring coach who will support you every step of the way as you build a stronger bond with your dog

🐾 Why Families (and Dogs) Love Our Camp:

✅ Your dog will live in a real, loving home — never a kennel
✅ We accept only two dogs at a time for truly personalized attention
✅ Our trainers have decades of experience building life skills that last
✅ Crates are used thoughtfully for housebreaking, safety, and structure
✅ Complimentary pick-up and drop-off service
✅ Most importantly, your dog will thrive in a calm, nurturing environment

We believe dogs learn best when they feel secure and understood — not in loud kennels or chaotic, crowded environments. Our home-based camp provides structure, consistency, and peace — the foundation your dog needs to succeed.

🎓 What You Should Know in your search for the right Trainer

The dog training industry is completely unregulated. That means anyone — regardless of experience — can call themselves a “trainer or an expert.” There are no mandatory tests, no governing body, and no licensing. That’s why it’s so important to ask the right questions and know what to look for in your search for the best fit for your best friend. 

Smart Questions to Ask:

🔹 Do they have a professional website that clearly explains their services and credentials?
➡️ Facebook and Instagram are helpful for sharing — but they’re no substitute for a trusted, established business.
🔹 Do their client reviews span multiple years, not just a few months?
🔹 Are they referred by veterinarians or respected professionals in the field?
🔹 Are they members of long standing professional trainers organizations like APDT (Association of Professional Dog Trainers) or IACP (International Association of Canine Professionals)?

We’d be honored to welcome you and your dog to the NJ Fix My Dog family.

Warmly,
