Gold Dust Animal Care Obedience & Agility Classes

I offer all levels of obedience and agility training, both in group classes and private lessons, as well as behavior modification (problem-solving). I have group classes in Florida from Oct-June and in New Jersey from July - Oct.

Private obedience and agility lessons, pet sitting and behavior modification sessions are available year round.

I have put advanced level agility, obedience, and breed championship titles on my golden retrievers as well as successfully training dozens of other dog & handler teams. At right, Cheynne demonstrates great weaving at an agility trial and below, is a celebration ad of his MACH (Master Agility Champion) title.

Read about the titles we've obtained in the "My Pack" section below. I am also available to handle other breeds at the owners’ request.

Problem-Solving Sessions:

If your canine companion has any behavioral issues - such as chewing on the furniture, barking or biting - I offer private behavior modification (problem-solving) sessions either at our location or in your home. These sessions can also be combined with pet-sitting or with any of the dog obedience and agility training classes we offer.

We have helped many owners solve problems such as excessive barking, separation anxiety, door and gate "bolters", and mild aggression.

Call us to discuss your needs.
