Dog Training in The Comfort Of Your Home 

Sit Stay And Beyond LLC

All dogs are different, they each have their own unique personality. I do not offer cookie cutter one size fits all training. My training exercises have some basic elements; I customize this framework to your dog's way of learning desired behaviors. I avoid aversive training techniques like choke or shock collars. The best deal I offer is a 5 cue (command) package for $400. Payment schedule is taylored to fit your budget, cash, personal check or Venmo. I do not accept credit cards. My own dog Thor, I rescued from hoarders with over 180 dogs kept in horrific conditions. I love my 68 lbs guy who thinks he's a lap dog. I will treat your dog with the same love and respect as I treat my own.

De Lareau Studio

I was born and raised in Toms River, and this community means everything to me. Our salon is family-owned, built on love, dedication, and the values I grew up with. I’ve been in the hair industry for over 20 years, and opening my own salon has always been a lifelong dream. I named the salon in honor of my father, who passed away last year. He was the proud dad of five daughters, and with his passing, his name would have ended with him. By giving the salon his name, I’ve created a way to keep his legacy alive and honor the strong work ethic and values he instilled in me. At our salon, we’re not just about great hair—we’re about family, community, and carrying forward a legacy of hard work and care.
