A message from Wise Canine Training owner & certified dog trainer, Christine McGowan

Hi there, Bergen County dog owner!

 

My name is Christine McGowan, and I’m a certified dog trainer here to help you and your dog flourish. Whether you’re looking for help in preparing your puppy for life in the real world or trying to get your rowdy adult dog’s manners more manageable, I’m so happy you’re taking action to address your dog’s behavior and well-being.

 

As a certified dog trainer through the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers (CPDT-KA), my main focus is providing Bergen County dog owners with resources, training, and support to develop a dog who is not only well behaved, but also a joy to be around. 

 

After spending over a decade fostering dogs through Paws Montclair, Inc in my home, I got to see first hand what improper training and under socialization can do to dogs and their families, so I’ve made it my mission through Wise Canine Training to improve the lives of dogs and their families in Bergen County.

 

I’m sure you’re eager to find the right fit for your dog and situation. I’ve outlined how I believe you’ll flourish with a Wise Canine, and I invite you to reach out with any questions you might have about your dog’s training.

My goals for you & your dog:

Clear Communication

Communication is key. I’ll give you clear and concise skills for a dog who is able to stay attentive and follow cues from their owner.

Real World Skills

Sits, downs, and stays, with a variety of other cues for real world situations. Beyond cookie-cutter tricks, your dog will learn skills relevant to your lifestyle.

Problem Solving Strategies

Things don’t always go to plan. You’ll be well prepared for all the quirks your dog throws at you in every stage of life.

Support at Every Stage

Training doesn’t stop after our sessions. Well beyond our time together, I hope to be a resource for your family and dog.
