Morristown and Mendham families don’t have to choose between convenience and a serious trainer. Metro K9 Academy is a short drive south on Route 202, in Bernardsville, with group classes, private lessons, and Board & Train at 570 Mine Brook Road.
Real-World Training for Real-World Places
Crowded sidewalks, outdoor dining, busy parks, guests at the door. We train for the situations your dog actually faces, then give you a plan you can keep up at home. Hope is not a training plan.
How We Work
- Free evaluation: we meet your dog, hear your goals, and recommend a starting point.
- Structured training: in group classes, private lessons, or Board & Train (minimum three weeks).
- Owner handoff: you learn to handle your dog the way we do, so the results last.
- Ongoing support: group classes give you a place to keep practicing.
Experience You Can Trust
Robert Gierla has more than 30 years of experience developing dogs, from family companions to Schutzhund/IGP and police K9 work. Our K9 Awareness safety seminars are trusted by organizations including PSE&G, American Water, SUEZ, and UPS.
