About Nicholas

Best Dog Training in Monmouth & Ocean Counties!
Welcome. I am Nicholas Pagano, your Bark Busters Dog Trainer and Dog Behavioral Therapist in Monmouth and Ocean Counties. My wife Sharon and I have been married for over 40 years and have been blessed with 3 wonderful children and our loving dogs - Truffles, Nestle and now Slate. Our dogs have always been considered loved family members. As dogs are a pack animal, they fit perfectly into our family environment. Our 5-year-old Aussie, who is named Slate, is no exception.
After 25 successful years in the agri-business corporate world, I was at a point in my life where I could bring my business background and love of dogs together by joining forces with the great team at Bark Busters.
Bark Busters has successfully trained over 1 million dogs worldwide. As an integral part of the organization, I have the expertise to correct unwanted canine behavior using the most effective and natural methods. When dogs know that they are safe and secure in their home, the owners have successfully become the leader of the pack providing a happy home for everyone. I have successfully trained several thousand dogs consisting of various breeds, various temperaments and age groups. My training methods being nonphysical provides a tremendous difference in the quality of life for you and your dog. In short we bring our human owners into their dog's world.
With 19 consecutive years as a Bark Busters Master Dog Trainer and Dog Behavioral Therapist, I have formed close working relationships with many vets in my territory. I have also trained many of their personal dogs and those of their staff members. I also do free seminars at their animal hospitals, public libraries, pet stores and other social venues. All this while also offering a reduced fee for the service I provide for those clients that have chosen to rescue or adopt a dog or puppy. My commitment to the dog world is to successfully keep every dog in its current home.
I work with my clients and their dogs until all problems are solved and behavioral compliance is achieved. By working towards compliance, the dog's respect for the owner and the bond between dog and owner will grow. Training owners at home to gain the respect of their dog satisfies the social need and territorial nature of their dog.
Incessant barking, destructive behaviors, house soiling, jumping up, leash pulling, separation anxiety and aggressive tendencies are just some of the unwanted behaviors I can help you change. Bark Busters in-home training allows me to evaluate and treat these behaviors in a non-stressful, holistic manner at a time that suits your busy schedule.
Dog ownership can offer remarkable rewards for both the human and dog family members. If you are unhappy with your dog's behavior, no matter the age, breed or the problem - I can and will help.

This means faster, longer-lasting solutions for you and your dog.
Dogs learn best in a familiar, safe environment, free of outside distractions and disruptions. That’s why we come directly to your home, on your schedule to build an effective foundation for better behavior. We work first to build an effective foundation for better behavior. We teach you how to communicate with your dog. Dogs naturally live in families and look their family leaders for guidance, safety, and love.

We teach you how to use friendly, canine leadership and to "speak dog" using your body language, voice tones, and timing so you and your dog communicate better! You will see results. You want to see a change in your dog’s behavior, preferably sooner rather than later.
