Welcome to Dog Training in New York and New Jersey!

Madeline Friedman of Innovative Reality Dog Training & Dog Behaviour Consulting offers sensible, problem solving, real world dog training and dog behaviour modification. The methods I will coach you to use are designed to improve communication between you and your dog, greatly improving the bond between you so that your dog will respond to your cues and you will enjoy your dog more. My methods are rooted in positive reinforcement reward based methods, canine psychology, and conditioning techniques designed to teach your dog to respond to your directives, encouraging appropriate dog behavior from your companion. We slowly add distractions to training, setting the dog up for success, not for failure, and your dog learns that it is worthwhile to tune in to and focus on YOU. All this is achieved with the owner spending 15 minutes a day in five minute increments training their dog, the time necessary to create a unique, loving, trusting bond with your dog. All my dog training and dog behavior techniques, which may include clicker training, are humane and gentle, and you will find that you and your dog will be having fun during training as well as learning. Safety is always a consideration as your dog learns what is expected of him or her and is trained to respond appropriately to commands, as is responsible dog ownership and equipment used correctly and in good condition.

Innovative Reality Training & Behaviour Consulting is dedicated to the memory of all the dogs I have loved, and particularly to Asta, who was a terrific and extremely well mannered obedient dog despite how little I knew about dog training when I took him home as a pup in 1989 relative to what I know now. It was Asta's desire to learn and perform along with his sweet and loving nature that made me want to become (and continue to be) the best professional NJ dog trainer and NYC dog trainer I could be. In my ability to educate NYC dogs and NJ dogs and their owners using humane and gentle methods, Asta's shining and gentle spirit lives on.
