Introduction

Hello, I’m Edward, head trainer at American Canine Coach formerly of Buck's Dog Training. I believe training your dog is a fantastic way to create a lifelong bond with your companion. My first dog was a Rottweiler named Elvis; after going through a board and train program with him, I became fascinated with training dogs. As a dog trainer, my job is to train dogs and teach the owners how to communicate and create a structure for their dogs. My goal is to help my clients train their dogs to be great members of the family. I love the process of training a young dog or puppy that knows very little, teaching them the skills and behaviors they need to know to become the dog you always wanted. Our board and train program offers your dog the opportunity to learn all of the basic behaviors to be a life-long companion. From basic obedience to off-leash walking, our board and train program quickly balances your dog and trains them to listen. Along with basic obedience, I also work with fearful dogs and dogs who suffer from separation anxiety and have even bitten people. If you think your dog is untrainable or is having behavioral issues, I can help. Every dog is different and has a unique personality. I love working with different personalities and making them shine. At Buck's Dog Training, we train all sizes, breeds, and age dogs.

Not only does Ed respond quickly to any questions, his answers are always very thorough and well-explained. Any questions regarding the stay, training techniques, or advice outside of training, he will answer with no hesitation. He was easy to reach, I messaged him but he offered to do a phone call too to learn more about my pup. I haven’t boarded with him yet, but it makes me feel comfortable knowing he will get back to me almost immediately if there were any concerns.

We recently adopted the sweetest 1 year old pup named Phoebe and she was a handful to say the least lol. We couldn’t take her anywhere because she pulled like crazy and would start barking and crying anytime she saw another dog or person (she wanted to go over and say hi), at home she didn’t listen to us at all, annoyed our other dog constantly and barked all day at birds/dogs that she saw outside our windows. We were nervous about sending her away for the two week board and train but it ended up being the best decision we could have made for her and us! Edward was such a pleasure to work with and sent us daily updates and videos! Phoebe actually listens to us now, her relationship with our other dog is so much better, we can take her on walks and hikes, her impulse control is SO much better, she listens when we tell her to stop doing something. Edward even came out for a follow up session with us! We seriously couldn’t recommend him enough!

Ed did a great job with our dog Rusty. He was not listening to anything prior to training. Rusty is much more behaved and we have the tools to keep him happy and safe.

Edward was amazing with my dog Atlas. Atlas had a lot of issues from his past but Edward helped him over come a lot while being very patient with Atlas. He treated Atlas like one of his own which I really loved. Thank you so much for everything! We will definitely go back to Edward with any further issues with atlas and our new puppy. We highly recommend Edward with Bucks Dog Training.

Cannot recommend Ed enough!! Just do it. We rescued our dog, Bardi, a year ago and we were having trouble with her recall and manners. It got to a point where we were terrified she was going to get hit by a car because she wouldn’t come back to us. Ed changed all of that. We did a 2 week board and train with Ed and it was worth every penny!! He sent us daily updates via text message so we could see her progress every day. When we got Bardi back she was a completely different dog. She now walks so nicely on the leash, comes when called, and is overall a more confident and well-mannered dog. Bucks Dog Training is well worth the investment. We now have peace of mind and know our dog will always be safe.

Thank you so much, Kassidy, it was a pleasure working with Bardi and it was great seeing her again for our follow-up session.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My board and train program pricing is based on length of stay, from one to four weeks. I have several in-home and at our facility training packages.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
My process with working with new clients and their dogs starts with a free assessment at our training facility to determine the best training program. From there, we decide if single lessons or a board and train program is best for your pup.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I attended the C.A.T.C.H Academy for dog training; a New Jersey licensed 10 phase course in dog behavior and training. The course included hands-on instruction, behavior fieldwork, and a mentor trainer. I am also a graduate of Dog Biz Dog Walking Academy.
