Can anyone recommend a good dog trainer who will come to your home for training sessions (I have a 5 mth Spaniel mix)

I have never used a trainer who came to the home. However, I think Linda Hobson has a very good reputation, and I know that she goes to people's homes. (I know her slightly because we both took canine nose work classes, although not in the same class, and we saw each other fairly often.) You can find her listed as Hobson Dog Training. I've never heard anything at all bad about her, and she has been a dog trainer for a long a time, since at least the late 1980 s. There's also a trainer that the SAVE shelter recommends often. His name is Barry Rosenberg. I've met him a few times. I'm not sure, but I think both Stephanie and Lynn of Heavenly Hounds might go to people's homes, although they mainly work with classes. (My dog had classes with Lynn and a little bit with Stephanie when they both used to work for Petsmart in 2009, before Heavenly Hounds opened.) If your dog is a puppy, I've heard the Megan-somebody of Puppergarten is very good. I've never met her. I know she does classes, but she might also go to homes. I'm assuming you live in the Lawrence/Pennington/Ewing/Hopewell area and not near Hillsborough, but if you're near Hillsborough, I can mention someone else.
