    Photo of Bailey The training was easy to understand, all unwanted behaviors were addressed. I saw improvement almost instantly. I would highly recommend Bark Busters to others.

    This is my second time using Paul Pagano. I used him several years ago for my very naughty 7 year old Border Collie and again now for my 5 month old hound mix for puppy training. Paul is prompt, friendly, and very prepared. He completely discusses your dog and family's needs and explains the program in great detail. Paul uses only body language and small training bags to get your dogs attention. He then teaches you how to do the same things with step by step instructions. Paul never raises his voice and yet the dog instantly knows what is expected of him/her. Paul comes to your house which is so much less stressful for your dog. I highly recommend Paul Pagano for your dog training needs.

    Bark busters is a god send! Paul has been super helpful through the beginning stages of our training. Ozzie has already shown so much improvement and we are looking forward to seeing him become an even better pup. We were really worried he would never change his behavior but after day 1, we see changes and couldn’t be happier with our choice of trainers. Thank you Paul!

    Paul Pagano has been wonderful in training our labradoodle puppy. I have seen such a change in a short amount of time. The patience and time that Paul spends with us has been amazing in getting our puppy trained to be a well mannered dog. The step by step and thorough instructions from Paul for us to work with our dog between sessions is so helpful. I would highly recommend Paul Pagano. Thank you Paul!

    Photo of Milo I want to thank Sheri for helping me SAVE my dog. Milo had an incident with another dog and I had to go to court to try and save him. I talked to another trainer first, but then talked to Sheri and really liked the methods Bark Buster uses, so hired her instead. She taught me how to be a better leader for Milo, and how to communicate so he knew when he was making a bad choice. She also wrote me a letter to take to court to show what we had been doing, the progress we had made and her assessment of Milo. I had to pay a fine but Milo is in the clear and fine!! Thank you Bark Busters

    Trainer Note:
    Thank you Lauren. Milo is a really sweet dog, he just needed a better leader so he could give up the guard duty. You did a great job and I am so happy that he is safe at home with you rather than the alternative.

    Photo of Lucy /Abby Excellent I can't wait to start the training. Great points! Learned things about my dog I never imagined with our trainer John. Positive reinforcement negative reinforcement is very simple. Thought it would be more complicated..

    Photo of Dixie June and Colin gave me very clear instructions at our first meeting. We used the special collar and lead to help Dixie's walking. She is only 6 months old and a little stubborn, so she needs extra practice and so do I. We're looking forward to sit and stay.

    An adorable little bichon puppy owned by a retired couple, and we are also looking forward to our future lessons with her.

    Photo of Mauri Best decision we ever made! We had a 3 month old Mastiff/Labrador mix who was getting out of control. We had results after our very first session. Pam has been wonderful. She is always positive and ready with new advice or a new tool for our training arsenal. Knowing she is only a text/call is a huge relief.

    We have tried a variety of trainers and training techniques with our 7-year-old Boxer mix, but never had any real luck in correcting the behaviors we needed her to stop. However, after just our initial session with Paul, we couldn’t believe how different she was already acting when using his techniques. One of the main issues we had with Laynee (our pup) was her reaction whenever someone came to the house. She barks, runs all over, goes crazy, and basically doesn’t allow the person in the house without trying to jump and run them over. Paul went over the main ways to help correct this habit and worked with us to practice it during the first session. By the end of his work with us that first day, she was already behaving much better when presented with the situation. In addition to this issue, Paul asked us for a wish list of things we needed her to fix or improve upon and started going through each one with us. He gave us helpful information and a training schedule to follow in practicing the methods on our own. Today is day one of us practicing alone and Laynee is already behaving so much better. We are amazed at how well his methods work and love that he does not use any treats or physical means (shock collar, etc) in how he works. We are excited and optimistic that with our continued work and having Paul’s assistance, we will finally be able to enjoy being with our girl all the time and not having to constantly worry about her behavior. My husband and I are thankful we found Paul and wish we had come across him sooner. We highly recommend him and his training methods!

    Photo of Milo & Sloan Karen Deppe is excellent at training not only dogs but owners as well. She is a wealth of information on speaking "dog" and even dog health tips. My new rescue dog, Milo, and Sloan are going to be much better because of the lessons I learned from Karen on how to be in control! BarkBusters is the best dog training around! I highly recommend Karen and Mark Deppe for all dog training!
