“When we brought our 2 year old Boxer, Gracie, to Bob we were frustrated to say the least. Gracie was very playful and full of energy. She would jump on the couches, Chew on furniture and attempt to dig holes in our carpet. She would also jump on our children if they were sitting on the floor playing. We could not take her outside when people were around because she would pull on the leash and jump all over people. We had to use a harness that went over her muzzle to control her. From our first lesson with Bob, Gracie’s behavior improved. Throughout the training she became more calm and obedient to commands. Bob was always patient with us and Gracie. She respects us but still has a playful and happy spirit, which is important to us. We are now able to take her outside and play with her in the yard without worries of her jumping on children in our yard. She also retrieves a ball and brings it back to us which is a lot of fun for all of us. One other thing we gained from the training is a stronger bond with Gracie. After the training we are able to enjoy our relationship with her so much more and that is something you really can’t put a price on.”

“We cannot thank you enough for all you have done with our black lab, Lucia. When we brought her to you she was hyper with little self-control, nervous and high strung. She would jump all over visitors and drag us down the street on walks. After your impressive training, Lucia is a completely different dog. Her demeanor has changed in such a short time from being hyper and nervous to calm, relaxed and happy. Lucia responds when given commands and shows us respect. When visitors come over now, they comment on how well-mannered and polite she is. Before your training, we worried about what would happen if Lucia ever got loose. We knew she would run right towards the street, chasing the cars, squirrels or even bikes. We now have the peace of mind that wherever we are or whatever situation we are in she will always come to us when called. If we are sitting outside, it is such a good feeling to know we can trust Lucia to lie in the grass and relax while watching cars go by. Thank you again for being patient with not only Lucia, but with us as we learned how to properly handle her!”

“I first came to Bob at Jersey Shore Canine for help with my new puppy, Lola. I adopted her on a whim while on vacation in Guatemala, where she spent the first four months of her life on the streets. Despite her beautiful brindle coat and her constantly wagging tail, I soon learned that her temperament was less than ideal. She suffered from severe separation anxiety which lead to the destruction of furniture and other objects in my home. She was also extremely uncomfortable around men and strangers. When I first introduced Lola to Bob she was extremely apprehensive towards him. She would do whatever she could to get away from him, running to the end of the leash, slipping out of her collar, and even at times biting his legs when they would train together. As the months wore on, training became less of a job for Lola and more of a game to her. It was work, but it was fun. Bob’s genuine love for animals and for his work was obvious during every moment of our training. Although her temperament made things difficult at times, Bob’s resilience and dedication enabled Lola to overcome many of the obstacles we struggled with before coming to Jersey Shore Canine. Lola now walks perfectly on a leash, sits, stays, and is learning to control her excitement and misbehavior’s, in addition to many other commands learned during training. Her overall demeanor has improved compared to when I first adopted her. If you are looking to strengthen the bond between you and your dog and to teach your dog discipline along with useful commands that will reinforce that discipline, I would recommend visiting Bob at Jersey Shore Canine training.”
