About the Trainer
About the Trainer...
Vince Rambala grew up with dogs and spent most of his time learning how to train them. As an adult, he apprenticed with a professional for several years in order to learn everything he could about behavior. Tired of seeing and reading about abusive trainers, he searched for and adopted a methodology using gentle, positive reinforcement. In 1992, he took his extensive knowledge and love for animals and became a professional dog trainer. Vince uses the animal's natural behavior and instincts to achieve responses. Choke chains and prong collars are never used. Vince is the proud owner of two rescue dogs, Sedona and Wyatt.
Vince is a certified New Jersey Animal Control Officer and a member of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers.
Sedona
On May 28, 2005, Vince adopted a 6 month old Great Pyrenees named Sedona from Mid-South Great Pyrenees Rescue. Sedona is a sweet, loving and very funny girl. She loves everyone and everything - there is not a mean bone in her body. Sedona is a Canine Good Citizen and Certified Pet Therapy dog.

Wyatt
On March 22, 2009, Vince adopted a 1 year old Doberman named Wyatt from All for the Love of Animals. You can read his incredible story on their home page under "Whisper's Journey". Wyatt is a gentle and loving soul. It's hard to believe he can be so incredibly sweet after all he has been through. Wyatt truly loves people and we look forward to training him. We are looking forward to getting him his Canine Good Citizen and Certified Pet Therapy dog certification.

About Jack...
Jack was an 12 year old Doberman mix, found living in a parking lot in July 1998. Jack was extremely aggressive with men, children and other dogs. Vince worked with Jack and he became great with people (especially children) and other dogs. He even lived with another dog. Jack was a Canine Good Citizen and Certified Pet Therapy dog. Our beloved Jack passed on October 12, 2008. He is missed more than words can say.

About Aspen....
Aspen inspired Vince to become a trainer. It was because of Aspen that Vince took his passion for training and turned it into a professional business. Aspen loved to accompany him to private lessons and group classes. She was Vince's training partner and they were a great team. Aspen lost her fight with cancer on December 20, 2004. She is greatly missed.
