Metro K9 Academy is based in Bernardsville, in the middle of the Somerset Hills. For families in Bedminster, Far Hills, Basking Ridge, and Peapack-Gladstone, professional training is close by: classes, private lessons, and Board & Train at 570 Mine Brook Road.
Dogs That Fit Somerset Hills Life
Busy downtown sidewalks, trailheads, horses, visitors, kids home from school. A good dog here needs to be calm in the house and clear everywhere else. That’s the standard we train to: calm in the house, capable when it matters.
Programs
- Group classes: Saturday mornings, six levels, with real-world distractions.
- Private lessons: one-on-one, scheduled around your calendar.
- Board & Train: daily professional training at our facility (minimum three weeks), then handoff lessons so the results come home with you.
- Family personal protection: for families who want a capable dog. Obedience and stability come first, every time.
Puppies and Trained Dogs
We also breed working-line German Shepherds (AKC/SV) and European Dobermans (AKC/FCI). New Jersey puppy families receive a 3-month group training class at our facility. Trained adult dogs come with owner handoff lessons.
