About MJ’s Pet Training Academy®, LLC

About

MJ's Pet Training Academy has trained dogs for families since 2013 from a facility in Acushnet, and also offers training online. Its founder and lead trainer is a Certified Professional Dog Trainer and the team attends continuing education. The academy also runs a grooming service.

Training

Group classes let owners explore new activities while working toward training goals, and private training and behavior coaching are built around the dog and the owner's goals, from playful puppies to dogs with complex behavior challenges. Training is positive and reward-based and covers everyday skills such as leash walking, leaving food and distractions, responding at a distance and greeting people politely, and it often folds trick training into regular classes.
