What Your In-Person Evaluation Gets You
A hands-on evaluation at Matt's facility, and $125 that comes off your package if you sign up within a week.
A Real Behavior Assessment
Matt reads what your dog is actually doing and why, and tells you straight what it will take to change it.
A Custom Training Plan
A plan built around your dog and your household, matched to the right program: everyday obedience or aggression and reactivity rehab.
The "Why" Behind the Behavior
Understand what is driving the reactivity, barking, or pulling, and how your own reactions may be feeding it.
Obedience That Holds Up
Recall, place, and loose-leash walking that hold in the yard, on the trail, and around other dogs, not just when you have a treat in hand.

Training Programs & Services
Your evaluation ends with the right program for your dog, not a one-size-fits-all package.
Board & Train
Matt's main program. Your dog lives and trains at the facility and comes home performing come, sit, heel, down and place, on leash or advanced off leash, around real distractions.
Aggressive/Reactivity Training
Structured rehab for dogs that bite, lunge, guard, or lose it on leash. We address the aggression and reactivity at the root and give you a dog you can trust around people and other dogs.
Group Classes
For established Camp Jersey K9 clients. Keep skills sharp around other dogs once your dog has finished a program with Matt.
Private Lesson Packages
One-on-one lessons in obedience or protection, sold as packages, so you learn exactly how to keep the progress going at home.
Behavior Problems We Solve
Any breed, any age. If your dog's behavior is making walks, visitors, or everyday life stressful, this is what we fix.
Reactivity & Aggression
Lunging, barking, and aggression toward dogs, people, or visitors, addressed at the root instead of managed forever.
Anxiety & Fearfulness
Nervous, skittish, or over-aroused dogs learn to process what they are feeling and settle instead of spiral.
Leash Pulling & Barking
Walks you can actually enjoy, plus a quieter house, without a constant fight over the leash.
Obedience & Impulse Control
Sit, down, place, and a recall that holds under real-world distraction, because obedience should be a way of life.
Meet Matt, Your New Jersey Dog Trainer
Matt Rogers has been training dogs since 2002 and full-time since 2017. He founded Camp Jersey K9 in 2018 and recently built his own training facility in Essex County, New Jersey, where he works with every dog himself. Matt takes on the cases a lot of trainers pass on: aggression, reactivity, and dogs that have simply stopped listening.
The approach is straightforward: read the dog in front of you, build a plan around that dog and your household, and train you as much as the dog, so the results hold once the leash is back in your hand.
From foundation obedience to serious behavior rehab, every dog gets the same standard of work and the same goal: calm, reliable, and under control in the real world.
"Real training that holds up in the real world."
