Why Choose Me?
"With years of experience in dog training, I have a thorough understanding of canine behavior and skilled at working with a wide range of breeds and temperaments. I used to have anywhere from 30-55 dogs under my care by myself when I worked at the doggy daycare. I was fully capable of handling that many at any given day. I got really good at knowing what signs to look for, based on the dog's body language and whether they were being playful or aggressive. That daycare shaped me into the Dog Trainer I am today.
My training programs are designed to produce amazing results, whether it’s limiting problem behaviors, improving obedience, or teaching commands to keep your dog mentally sharp. Understanding that life can be busy, I offer flexible scheduling to make dog training convenient for you, whether it’s weekdays, weekends, or in-home sessions.
Every dog I work with holds a special place in my heart, and I’m wholeheartedly invested in their success, ensuring they not only learn, but truly succeed."
A Little Bit About Remy
I received my bachelor’s degree in Communications with a minor in Children Studies from Fairleigh Dickinson University, where I also competed on their tennis team. I’ve been working with dogs for several years.
I began my career at a doggy daycare as a Dog Handler before trasnsitioning to a Lead Trainer position. This is where I found my passion for emboldening the relationships between owners and their dogs.
Through years of positive experiences with my clients, I curated a customizable program aimed to help pet owners thrive. Fast forward to today, I’m a certified Dog Trainer and founded the Learning Paws Academy. I’m livin’ the dream!
When I’m not working I enjoy spending time with my husband, daughter and two fur babies ( a Golden Doodle and a Golden Retriever).

-Matt A.
"My dog used to be a total handful-digging holes, pulling on leash, barking at visitors, and jumping on guests, but Remy completely transformed his behavior. She's magic. 10/10 would recommend!" - Trish G.
Took Cale to see our friends who were watching her while we were in Scotland and omg, she was wonderful. She did so well walking in BROOKLYN OF ALL PLACES and just sat down and relaxed when we had some coffees. She had her water and was content. The spray helped today when we went to my mom's too. She did the best walking she's done there since we started taking her. I can't thank you enough! You're a genius and a miracle worker! - Sam L.
