NEW! Read My Dog Training Blog!

DoggyTales is a progressive company that was created to help breakdown the communication barriers between man and his best friend. Through positive training and rehabilitation, Joshua’s goal is to inspire a social awareness that will help decrease the excessive amounts of dogs that are euthanized in our neighborhoods everyday. Currently, DoggyTales is working with the shelter systems all over North Jersey to help diagnose and rehabilitate lost dogs to help increase their chances of becoming more adoptable. Joshua is constantly exchanging ideas and philosophies with behaviorists that are trained in all schools of thought. As philosophies and methodologies evolve, Joshua will continue to challenge himself and the dog community by advancing his education and awareness.  

 DoggyTales only utilizes positive training methods, such as luring, capturing, and shaping. Joshua is a balanced trainer that employs a creative and holistic approach to training and rehabilitation. Through benevolent leadership and a positive reward system Joshua creates practical training programs that cater to fit the dog and owner’s individual lifestyle and circumstance. Positive reinforcement (the dog works for something it desires), and negative punishment (removing something good as punishment) will make training an exciting experience for both dog and owner.  

DoggyTales services the entire North Jersey area. All sessions will primarily be done at the owner’s home. This is where most behavior problems begin. If they are not remedied at the source, the behavior will digress and become generalized to all environments and circumstances. Most problem behaviors are self-rewarding, which means the more the dog has the opportunity to misbehave the more the behavior is reinforced. The best way to extinguish an undesirable behavior is to create and manage an environment where they can be prevented. The only environment that can be controlled absolutely is the home. The dogs home provides a familiar and stress free environment that will help facilitate learning and rehabilitation.
