Over the last 40+ years in the dog training business, master dog trainer Anthony Jerone has appeared in the news many times.  His notoriety as an expert in the field of dog training has him constantly sought after by the media for his expert opinion and/or to highlight his community services throughout the New York metropolitan area as well as around the country.  His community service record is unmatched by any dog trainer in the country and his results speak for themself.  He’s also been called upon by attorneys to give expert testimony in court cases (such as dog bite cases) or to assist in court rescues (saving dogs that may be put to sleep by order of the court).  In addition, government agencies have requested his help in setting up Dog Bite Prevention Programs.  Here is a sampling of some of the media appearences he has made.

dogs were sent to Vietnam, where the dogs used their special canine abilities to

DOGGING IT IS TRAINER’S WAY
“Dog training by Anthony Jerone’s description, is mostly a matter of will power.
