Paul worked wonders for our dog. Our dog is a rescue, had lots of anxiety, and didn't like being around most people. After training here, our dog is much less afraid - both generally and of people broadly. Can't recommend it enough!

When looking for a dog trainer, we came across Good Buddy and looked at all the great reviews. We met with Paul & his trainer Amy and we liked what he had to say about his method of training. We have worked with Amy for a few weeks now and the experience has been great. Her technique and actions with our dog (and us) have been positive and very helpful. We would definitely recommend Good Buddy for your dog training needs 😀
Paul quickly saw that Marley was a fast learner and after we breezed through the basics, has helped me train on tricks and tasks that keep her brain busy while being useful and cute. From basic obedience to adjusting the program for the individual dog and owner, this entire process has been wonderful.
Paul provided great training and tips for myself to get my dog to accomplish the commands I wanted her to learn. We are still working on it as she is stubborn and takes a step backward sometimes.
