About the Trainer
Top of the Tail K9 provides dog training and therapeutic pet services, focusing on in-home care for the comfort of pets and their families. This approach is particularly beneficial for reactive dogs or those with compromised health who may find travel difficult.
The business emphasizes reward-based and positive reinforcement training methods, which are science-based and avoid harsh tools. Food rewards are frequently used initially but are quickly replaced with praise and petting.
In addition to dog training, Top of the Tail K9 offers a range of holistic pet services. These include Therapeutic Massage, Photonic Therapy (red light therapy), Essential Oils, and Reiki Healing. These therapeutic services aim to alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and address behavioral issues like fear and anxiety, especially in senior dogs. They use only the purest essential oils and note that therapy services are not a replacement for veterinary care.
Services are available both in-home and on-site at Water Street Wellness in Englishtown, NJ.
