Pas Dog Training

Pasquale is amazing. We have a four month old Australian cattle dog/​heeler mix and if anyone knows their breed, they have the tendency to nip/​herd! Plus, she’s teething, so we surely had our hands full! My husband and I didn’t know how to handle curbing all of the nipping so we found Pasquale via all of the rave reviews on Unilocal,and now we have the pleasure of writing one ourselves!
Pasquale is very kind, patient, and truly loves working with dogs! This was apparent to us right away. In other words, this isn’t just a job for him and his passion for his work really shines through from his interactions with our little Denae and via all his training methods. Denae absolutely loves him! And we have learned tremendously from his teachings and continue to! The good news, too, is that Denae’s nipping has decreased drastically, which is surely a testament to what Pasquale has taught us.
Along with the in-​person training comes a helpful manual that he’s created as well as follow up emails and points regarding which commands/​lessons were learned that day and reminders on what we need to work on. Also, he’s been wonderful responding to emails regarding any random questions we may have!
Pasquale is also very responsible and emails a confirmation date and time of our next meeting as well as will notify if he is running behind (he is always on time, but we really appreciated the heads up that one time!).
An absolute pleasure to work with and trust us, you will see beautiful and positive changes in your dog’s behavior! We highly recommend Pasquale!

We adopted a golden-​lab puppy recently and engaged Pasquale for obedience training (for the 12weeks old pup).
Pasquale was very punctual for the conveniently scheduled in-​home training sessions.
He taught basic commands to the puppy and taught us how to train him. He has been very patient with all the queries we have. The sessions were customized to incorporate any training that we thought was needed for the puppy. After each session he sends an email to recap the training session and provides the practice steps till the next session (Our Homework :)). He also shared a document with details about basic obedience training/​commands. The document is very informative and helpful. Pasquale also promptly replies to any queries we email him. This has really helped us a lot.
My husband is very comfortable around pets but even though I liked dogs and found them cute, I wasn’t fully comfortable around them. Pasquale not only trained our puppy but he also taught me how to interact with a dog. Thanks to him I feel confident and comfortable with the dogs now and able to enjoy my puppy’s puppyhood :)
We definitely recommend him, especially to the first time parents like us as he’s calm, friendly, creative and very patient with the dog and the parents.

Pas has been nothing but awesome! Our 4 month old French Bulldog, Brie, is a loving sweetheart but we needed to learn basic training given her stubborn breed. Pas trained her and us in a loving way and always explained the reasons behind her behavior which is very helpful. The written training manual he provides is great for reference because we soon forget. It’s now up to us. Thank you Pas!

We worked with Pascal on private classes for Milou and our experience was nothing short of amazing. He is so knowledgeable and understanding! He developed a plan with us and emailed us all the details so we can practice over time. He answered all the questions we had been having for a long time.
Highly recommended!!!

Our puppy absolutely adores Pas! He created a custom training program for us based on what we thought was important and trained with us in our home on a weekly basis. He emails us with weekly reminders on what we covered during our lesson and previous lessons as well. Our puppy is very well behaved since we started training with Pas and now knows some awesome tricks! Pas is very knowledgable, patient, and kind, and we would highly recommend him in a heartbeat. Thanks Pas!

Pas worked with our 4 month old golden doodle and 8 yr old yorkie. His in home training was the perfect solution. He taught us, trained us and helped us enjoy our new pup in ways we never thought we could. He retaught us, retrained us and gave us ways to help our stuck in his ways yorkie. We would definitely recommend him to any home with a dog. He’s calm, friendly, creative and best of all patient with dogs and humans alike. Thanks Pas!

Pasquale puts on a fantastic Puppy Kindergarten which preaches positive reinforcement. In reality it’s training for the puppy parents and Pasquale has a wealth of knowledge. I noticed the changes in my pup immediately. He gives you the tools necessary to train your dog and have a healthy relationship with them. Pasquale is extremely helpful and goes the extra mile. I will be returning for the intermediate class!

Pasquale’s Puppy Kindergarten was a lifesaver for us! Pasquale’s «positive reinforcement» technique showed us the importance of rewarding good behavior, versus punishing bad behavior, and gave us so much insight into the natural psychology of why dogs often do what they do. His personal attention to the needs of each individual dog is so valuable, and he is always happy to answer questions or provide feedback at any point in the training process. His extensive knowledge and background also allows him to provide alternatives when a traditional training method might not be working for your pup, stressing that every dog and dog owner is different. He truly sees your pet as an extended member of the family, and understands that «training» is an ongoing process for both puppy and owner.
Pasquale is reliable, patient and has a wonderful sense of humor. Highly recommend this service for dog-​owners in the Jersey City area.

We adopted a 5 month old lab mix puppy and he was quite the hand full. After attending Pas’s Puppy Kindergarten we have a much better relationship with our puppy. Pas teaches positive reinforcement training. He advises never to punish for bad behavior, only reward for good behavior from the dog. Our puppy has responded really well to this type of training. We learned so much in class from Pas. Not just about commands like sit and stay, but also about housebreaking, feeding, grooming, and basic principles for our dog’s overall well being. I would highly recommend him for anyone looking for obedience training for their own pup.

We have a 10 month old husky and have attended Pasquale’s puppy and basic obedience classes.
Pasquale’s training classes have been great for my wife and I. The classes are a very reasonable size and he takes care to address the breed and personality of every dog. It is a great class where Pasquale teaches the owners how to interact with their dogs. He really takes his time with each owner to ensure they are comfortable and get the most out of every class.
Thanks for all the help with Kona!

I adopted Sparky from Hudson County Shelter, and he was aggressive. I had no experience with dogs — only cats! Having no experience took a lot of learning from both — animal and human. :-). Thanks to Pasquale (aka Pas Dog Training) we were able to find ‘our’ dance. Four months later Sparky is an adorable puppy, behaved and at ease with me. I feel very lucky to have had the guidance and training from Pas.
