Train without Pain

Kara was an extremely knowledgeable and effective trainer with my rescue dog. She provided me with valuable guidance and resources to help my dog. I highly recommend her services.

Kara Porto and Train Without Pain are amazing dog trainers.
We have a rescue Pit Bull. This dog, Evie, had been through a horrible time on the streets of Elizabeth. She gave birth to a litter, was captured and at the Elizabeth, NJ pound had her pups taken from her. She then spent way too long at the Elizabeth shelter, was rescued and spent almost a year closed up in a kennel.
Then, after we had her for only a month, a neighbor’s dog broke free and attacked her.
Our dog was a wreck. So bad we were ready to return her back to the rescue agency. She was nervous, distracted and scared of everything. If there was any dog with 150 feet, she would start to cry and then if the dog came slightly closer she would lose control. We had to always be on the lookout for other dogs, and if we saw one we had to rush back home.
We have had many dogs over the years, but none caused us as much concern as our Evie.
Then we met Kara and began to use the services of Train Without Pain.
This amazing woman has worked miracles for our Evie. Kara poured her heart and soul into rehabilitating Evie. In just a few weeks we started to notice a change coming about. With a gentle loving hand, and an almost mystical connection to dogs, Kara was able to transform our dog into a great pet. Kara worked with us and taught us how to understand our dog. Now, we walk with Evie and see another dog and only have to give the commands that Kara created and we are able to pass by without any problem or fuss. We had a new dog.
If Kara was able to solve the problems our dog had, I am certain she can solve any problem that you are having with your dog. Just give her some time to work with you can create her magic.

Kara is a fabulous trainer!!! She has helped my little pug, Jackson, with his people issues/​aggression so much. Also, she gave us the proper knowledge and tools to be better/​more understanding pet owners. Highly recommended!!!

Kara is fantastic. She worked wonders with our leash-​aggressive rescue dog. She helped us understand that his behavior was rooted in fear and gave us tools to build up his confidence. She also helped us learn to read his body language so we could understand him better and respond more effectively to his needs. Now my pup and I enjoy hour+ walks together every chance we get. We explore busy sidewalks and even an occasional farmers market! Of course, if you ask the dog, he’ll just tell you how much he loved the liver treats she brought.
