5/5

Paul is a fantastic trainer! He's personable and easy to work with. This is the second time we've hired him to train our dogs as it's amazing how quickly we've seen results and our pups just love him!

We acquired 2 puppies and wanted help teaching them the basics fairly young. We started training at 9 weeks. They are now 23 weeks and doing well. He helped us pass the nippy stage and also helped acclimate our young child to the dogs and build confidence. Paul was very easy going and loaded with information and tips when it comes to multi dog homes.

We had a fantastic experience working with Paul. Our dogs were a little older and thus rather stubborn, and they responded really well to Paul and his training techniques. Would 100% recommend!

Great experience. Paul helped my son and I train our Yellow Lab puppy. I highly recommend Good Buddy Training to anyone looking for a really fun learning experience with their dog.

Last summer I adopted a terrier mix who had been abandoned as a pup. Left to fend for himself and attacked multiple times, he was skittish, ate far too fast (food scarcity), was baffled by my attempts at house training and general obedience, and had extreme separation anxiety. I thought my wonderful heeler mix would be a good influence on him, but even her example wasn't enough to address the issues. Enter Good Buddy. Paul was understanding, patient, flexible, accommodating and best of all, successful! His techniques are well paced and easy to replicate for practice. He also provides lots of helpful tips and resources. My little street dog is now a happy, well behaved and beloved family member, and I have Good Buddy to thank for that.
