Testimonials

“My family and I purchased our first dog in June, a ten-week-old Black Lab named Chloe. We realized after she was three months it would be best if we had someone train us on how to train a dog properly. After researching the web, I made a call to Tim Miller. This was the best decision we ever made. Upon Tim’s first visit and noticing his passion for dogs as well as people, we know we made the right choice. Chloe responded so well to his instructions. People constantly comment on how well she listens. Tim never once made us feel rushed while he was there and provided us the utmost attention. Tim became a family friend.”
– Mary & Joe, Wood Ridge, NJ

“We had such a wonderful experience with Tim. He did a great job getting everyone in the family involved with Bandit’s training. His knowledge, patience and genuine personality made every session enjoyable. Through Tim’s training tips and repetition, we were able to not only develop a positive and loving relationship with Bandit, but were able to eliminate unwanted behaviors and be in control of situations that were once unmanageable. Thank you Tim!”
– Erica & Paul, Park Ridge, NJ

“We have used Tim before for our older dogs and now again for our puppy Jax. We LOVE Tim! He is super professional and shows interest in how things are going. He is always available for help and provides meaningful feedback. I recommend Tim to anyone and everyone! He gives 100% and provides an amazing experience!”
