Flexible, Personalized Training Options
Not sure where to start? Below is a comprehensive list of all that Pawfect Partner LLC can offer to you. Training is never a one-size-fits-all approach. Your plan is customized to your needs and lifestyle. Before booking your service, please be sure to review the policies.
Consultations
Free
Consultations are required before a training plan is created to get a stronger understanding of your dog, your lifestyle, and your environment. We’ll go over your dog’s current behavior, their current routine, your training goals, and your commitment to training. See more
Private Sessions
$85 - 60 minutes | $50 - 30 minutes
Private sessions are conducted in your home or in a favorite location, like a park or pet-friendly store. As a mobile trainer in Ocean County, I travel to you. There are no additional costs, no hidden charges — just dog training made accessible. Inquire for virtual services!
Specialty Support
$85 - 60 minutes | $50 - 30 minutes
Cases that are considered “specialty” involve adaptive skills in addition to training behavioral skills: accepting medication, cooperative care grooming tasks, accepting a new baby into the family, multi-dog management, etc., skills that need lifestyle management as well as training.
AKC Family Dog Program

A collection of behavioral skills tests following the 10 items on each of the tests by the AKC. Home Manners, Canine Good Citizen, AKC Community Canine, etc. Read more here about the AKC Family Dog Program.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
95% of how I train is prevention of unwanted behavior, positive reinforcement, and teaching an alternate behavior. For example, if your dog nonstop barks at cars while out on a walk, we can teach them to look at you instead beforehand so that we set them up for success. However, 5% of my job is accurately correcting an unwanted behavior to make doing the wrong thing a bit harder, like tethering an unsettled dog until they settle, or using leash pressure for additional and clear communication. Typically, the height of the tools I use is a slip leash; the organizations I am credentialed by prohibit the use of force.
-
Aggressive dogs, especially human aggressive dogs, need a more intense approach to their training than what I can currently offer as a mobile trainer. It’s recommended to consult with your veterinarian first if your dog is exhibiting sudden outbursts of aggression to rule out pain or illness. If there is no pain or illness, your next step is a behavior consultant, usually through IAABC.
-
Groups (with the exception of S.T.A.R. Puppy) are reserved for current or past clients who have done training sessions with me to work on skills independently. Group sessions, whether one-off or packaged, are only used to reinforce those skills already learned with added distractions, rather than teaching new ones.
-
There are many breeds I’ve worked closely with, just as there are breeds I’ve never seen in front of me. Before any consultation, I always do breed research so that I can be prepared to talk about breed related topics like enrichment, temperament, appropriate training, and lifestyle match.
-
Yes! I offer drop-in sessions with an optional training addon for parents who need to step away, go to work, go on a trip. Longer pet-sitting arrangements can be discussed with me directly.
-
Yes! Virtual training is a flexible option for working dog parents, busy families, or those just needing extra guidance in between sessions in person. Special restrictions apply to virtual training and coaching.
