Cover K9 Training

This place deserves to be the best dog training facility in NJ. They offers consistent quality and true professionalism in everything they do. ALL of their trainers are good options. I personally work with John and Tiago. I can't speak highly enough of their experience and how enjoyable it is the work with them (for both me and my Belgian Malinois - she loves seeing them!). The facility offers basic and advanced obedience, scentwork, agility, bitework, service and more. You can go to the facility for lessons but they can also go to your house, parks, stores or anywhere else you want to work with your dog. If you want to invest in your dog, you WILL see results if you take your dog here and put their guidance to work. I just can't praise Cover K9 enough. It's worth every penny. Your dog des

Cover K9 was recommended to me by my dog’s vet at Montclair Veterinary Associates. I couldn’t be more thankful for them. I booked multiple sessions with John who is great to work with and very knowledgeable. Without him I don’t think I would have had a solid foundation for my shepherd puppy. Whether you have a lap dog or a working breed, this is the place to go.

This establishment prides itself in excellence - their love and respect for dogs comes through in all they do - from Brooke's organization to the trainers' expertise. I initially thought I had a 'problem child' but, in reality, he's a really good boy and a pretty normal dog. Theo had a few private lessons with Gideon and some board and train days with Mike (both amazing professionals and really nice guys.). They not only gave me insight into Theo's personality, needs and potential, but also priceless training tips - the most important being patience, structure/discipline and consistency. And that our dogs are ultimately our responsibility - they will only be as good as the love and work we put into them. A tired and fulfilled dog is a happy dog.

I can’t say enough great things about Cover K9 Training! Every trainer here is not only incredibly knowledgeable but also kind, approachable, and genuinely invested in your success as a dog handler. They take the time to understand your goals and challenges, and then help you work through them with skill, patience, and encouragement. Whether you're looking to improve obedience, tackle behavior issues, or take your dog’s training to the next level, this is the place to go. The team creates a supportive, empowering environment for both dogs and owners. I’ve learned so much and seen amazing progress thanks to their guidance. Highly recommend Cover K9 to anyone serious about strengthening the bond and communication with their dog!

I’ve been working with Cover K9 for about 5 months now, and I can confidently say they’ve completely transformed my relationship with my dog, Bruno. I initially found them during one of the most challenging moments in my journey as a first-time dog owner. After an incident with Bruno, my previous trainer told me there was nothing more they could do to help. I was devastated, feeling like I had failed my dog. While searching for a new trainer, I came across Cover K9 and decided to fill out their online form. That same day, Brooke called me, and from the very start, she made me feel heard, understood, and hopeful. Unlike others I had spoken to, Brooke listened to my concerns without judgment and assured me they had the perfect team to help. She recommended Gideon for an in-home session, and
