Champion K-9, LLC is a certified dog training and behavioral service specializing in private in-home service that uses a wide range of techniques to help puppies and dogs develop their full potential as loving companions. We stress owner education because that is the key to success with your dog or puppy. The more you know, the better the results.

Most training services and classes fail to connect the concept of developing a well adjusted, and well behaved, pet to their training. Champion K-9 specializes in an overall approach to help develop the pet you always wanted.

Whether you have a new 8 week old puppy, or a newly adopted older pet, we can help make sure that you avoid problems and have control of your companion.

We are now in our 22nd year of helping dogs and their owners.

Can't say enough good things about Michael. I called about my Springer Spaniel who had already gone through another training but was really not well trained or behaved. He chewed everything, still couldn't walk on the leash and forget about sitting still. Michael came in and zeroed in on addressing the bad behaviors first and then took me through a fun and educational training with Marley. The results were really an amazing change in Marley. He listened, stopped the bad behaviors and was finally a pleasure to take out with me. Anyone thinking of getting help with their dog should really call Michael. He's a great person and loves what he does, and he helps the owner get what they are looking for in their dog.

Mike is great. Having tried a local group setting and gotten little real control of my hardheaded golden retriever I did some research and decided to give Mike a try with private sessions. The difference was apparent on day one. The group people never had a good solution to Rocky's bad behaviors, jumping, counter surfing and some other issues. Mike was on top of all of that on day one. We then got into serious obedience work and I was just as impressed with the results. If you really want to d it right and do it once ( not go to umpteen sessions and get mediocre results) call Mike. His expertise is well worth it.

Simply the best. As an experienced dog owner I can tell you not to waste your time on any others. Mike was extremely patient and obviously loves what he does. Despite my experience my Malinois was a handful. I just could not get him under control. Mike was masterful in getting his attention and getting him to behave. More importantly, I gained control using what he carefully taught me. It's worth every penny if you love your dog.

Can't say enough about how good Michael is. I had tried various groups and classes and none of the trainers were able to help with my Lab Rocky. He was plain out of control. Michael was able to calm him and gain control of him in literally just minutes. What he taught me is invaluable. Don't waste your time and money attending endless classes and getting bad advice. This is Monmouth County's true dog whisperer.

The best investment I made in my Boxer. Mike was great with the dog and a great teacher for me and the kids. My Vet referred us and now I know why the Vet said he was the best.

The very best. I can't say how happy I am with the results that Michael achieved with my less than cooperative German Shepherd, "Missy". I went through one group class and two other trainers before I found him. I thought she was a lost cause until my Vet told me to call Champion K-9. I highly recommend this service for any and all dog owners.
