Wise Canine Training

Wise Canine Training is a dog training business serving Bergen County, New Jersey, with in-home services designed to help dogs and their people build happier, more successful relationships. Led by Christine McGowan, CPDT-KA, the business draws on her decade-plus of experience helping shelter dogs and her goal of keeping more dogs in loving homes. Christine uses compassionate, positive-reinforcement methods and tailors practical training to each dog’s needs, household, and lifestyle.

Services include puppy training to support healthy development and establish polite manners, as well as training for adult dogs of varied ages. Owners can seek help with everyday skills such as leash manners and polite greetings, along with behavioral concerns including reactivity, shyness, and confidence building. The approach also emphasizes teaching owners to understand their dogs’ behavior and respond effectively at home and in the community. Wise Canine Training offers individual sessions and a day training program, helping clients develop skills they can continue using together. The business serves communities across Bergen County, including Ridgewood, Ramsey, Mahwah, Paramus, and Wyckoff.
