A Bark Away NJ is a dog training business founded by Criselda Quan, a certified dog trainer who specializes in balanced training methods to help dogs and owners build trust, confidence, and structure. They offer in-home private training, board-and-train programs, and day training services for dogs with challenges like leash pulling, reactivity, separation anxiety, resource guarding, and more. Their approach combines positive reinforcement with fair corrections using tools like slip leads, prong collars, and e-collars—used intentionally to establish leadership and clarity, not fear. They serve clients in Jersey City, Hoboken, Brooklyn, and Manhattan, bringing training directly to the home for real-life application. In addition to training, they offer dog walking, pet sitting, and pet boarding services. Their mission is to prevent dog rehoming by empowering owners with consistent, clear guidance and giving dogs a second chance through structured, compassionate training.

Criselda’s personal journey—from nearly losing her own reactive dog to becoming a trusted trainer for thousands—drives the business’s focus on real-world results over trendy methods. Clients receive daily updates, personalized feedback, and ongoing support to ensure long-term success. The training is tailored to each dog’s needs, whether they’re puppies, adolescents, or adults, and focuses on building lasting behavioral change through leadership, accountability, and respect.

Accomplishments

Criselda Quan has transformed the lives of nearly 3,000 dogs and their families. She developed her methods through personal experience with her own reactive dog and has become a trusted expert in balanced training, helping families avoid surrendering their dogs due to behavioral issues.
