Jersey Shore Dogs Dog Training

We were brand new pup owners (never had a dog before), and we researched trainers locally and Matt Tuzzo and Jersey Shore Dogs came highly referred. Matt returned my call promptly and was flexible to set up our first meeting and training. And he is always a text away even after our training was completed (and still 3 months later), for any question or input as we continue to evolve with our pup. Matt made our pup extremely comfortable and at ease, and after our first two hours my wife and I felt we had a great deal of useful information that helped us to be better owners/parents and to take some of the early frustrations out of dog ownership. Matt returned a few weeks later and we worked on other training and even the basics of good leash walking. Today at 6 1/2 months, our pup is potty trained, responds to multiple commands, enjoys her walks (as do I when at first they were very frustrating) and she is at ease with strangers and new dogs. The latter is due to Matt's recommendation to send her to puppy kindergarten, in theory to a competitor, but Matt knew the play time with multiple pups under a controlled environment with a specialist in puppy kindergarten was the best for our pup. That says alot to me about Matt and Jersey Shore Dogs, and his interest of your pup or dog first.

One of the best decisions we made regarding our fur baby was calling Matt of Jersey Shore Dogs. We are wedding photographers and while shooting a wedding one day, we noticed how incredibly well-behaved our bride's dog was. She said Matt had a big part in that and if we were ever to get a dog to call him right away. About 8 months later, we adopted our Gemma and contacted Matt. From the first phone call we knew he was well-educated, had a passion for dogs and would be a great fit for Gem. Sure enough, he was FANTASTIC! Gemma took to him right away and he was so patient with her as she learned obedience, tricks, how to walk nicely on her leash and more. She also loves Matt's wife's product called SnuffleMutt (keeps her brain and body busy while searching the special matt for treats). We highly recommend Matt and Gemma says FIVE stars isn't enough. :)
