Barry uses a balanced approach to dog training.
Paw Nation BGC has one trainer: Barry. Every session is with him.
“I've spent more than 20 years training dogs, from rescue work in Hong Kong and Ho Chi Minh City to sessions here in BGC with my own dog, Monday, by my side. I train dogs because I've seen how much calmer and happier life gets, for dogs and owners alike, when they truly understand each other. My aim is simple: every owner leaves knowing how to give clear commands and enjoy a well-mannered dog in the real world, not just a few party tricks. I want you to walk away confident on the leash and in everyday life, with a dog whose good manners hold up wherever you go.”
“We had an amazing experience with Pawnation BGC. Our dog Toby needed help with socialization and basic obedience, and the progress he’s made has been incredible.
Teacher Barry was not only skilled and patient but also made sure that we, as owners, were involved in every step of the process. That hands-on approach really helped us understand how to support Toby outside of training.
The sessions were well-structured and personalized to Toby’s needs, especially when it came to helping him feel more confident. We loved that the training took place in a safe, encouraging environment where Toby could learn at his own pace. Now, he’s more relaxed, listens better, and less reactive - huge improvements we never thought we’d see.”
“I’ve really missed training with my coach, Barry. Every sessions we get so excited because that’s where we learned so many things and had so much fun. I just want to share everything I’ve learned—from my basic commands, discipline he patiently taught me.
Coach Barry always believed in me, even when I got a little playful or distracted. With his guidance, I became more confident, focused, and happy to learn new things every day. I may not see him as often now, but all his lessons stay with me wherever I go.
I can’t wait to train with him again soon—run, learn, and make him proud.”

“I almost gave up on Pia and accepted her reactivity. Until one day I decided before I give up, I could at least try and it was one of the best decisions I ever made. Our journey with @pawnationbgc is not yet over but to see this much improvement in her after years, we couldn't thank them enough <3.”
“One of our best decisions was to enroll him in Barry's training program. Maki enjoyed every session! Not only that, you can really see his progress each day. His focus and impulse control has improved so much. And it wasn't only him who learned. Barry also taught me so many things that helped me understand and train Maki better.”
“I 100% recommend Pawnation BGC no matter what stage you and your dog are at. The training uses loving, respectful methods that build confidence and calmness, not just in the dog, but in the owner as well.”
“Barry has been training my dog Peppino since he was just 4 months old, and now Peppino is already 3.5 years old! Over the years, Barry has done such an amazing job — he's patient, knowledgeable, and truly cares about every dog he works with.”
