I had such a fantastic experience with Maine Pointe. The entire process was seamless and positive, from my initial phone call to picking up my dog. I opted for the two-week program, and my one-year-old Golden Retriever was paired with Paul. He truly works miracles! When I picked up my dog, He reviewed everything he had taught Brodie, so I felt well-prepared to build on his foundation. Brodie continues to excel and is much calmer and better behaved-overall. He no longer takes 10 minutes to settle down when he meets a stranger. Walking him was daunting and frustrating as he would pull and try to greet everyone passing by. I love taking him out for exercise and appreciate that he can go off-leash and explore without issues. Paul’s expertise and care have vastly improved our quality of life.

We had the pleasure of having our pup go through training with Maine Point Kennels. After back and forth consideration upon utilizing service's, with the help and alignment from Paul, things began to take shape. Our pup then met Paul; what a phenomenal human! (Which is an understatement!) Instant connection with our Pup Lucky and off to Hogwarts he went for a 2 week board & training! The passion, dedication and attention to detail Paul exuded while training our pup was astounding! Words can not express our appreciation & gratitude. It’s now been about 1 week from going through training and life could not be better! Manners are an understatement and higher self of steam radiates from our pup! Thank you Paul for bringing your skills and passion to Maine Point Kennels! It was truly an honor to have you as our pups trainer. Thank you for being you and thank you for sharing your grift and helping our family! Most of all thank you for your service to our country! May the universe protect you and your family upon every step you take in abundance with alignment & ease!

I researched on training and obedient schools for roughly 3-5 weeks prior to selecting Maine Point Kennels. Out of all of the positive reviews I decided to take the leap and invest in my 6 month old German Short haired pointer pup. I had the opportunity to have Paul and as my trainer and it was well worth the investment. Prior to arriving, my GSP would pull very aggressively on walks, bark at any other dog / person, counter surf and I could not eat any meal in front of him without him being crated. 3 weeks was also a very long time for my pup to be away, but Paul was fantastic in his communication. I received daily pictures of progress with details of what they worked on that day. I asked A LOT of questions and Paul was very patient in responding and answering all my questions. Once the 3 weeks were over, my pup was returned by Paul followed by a 3 hour turnover of what they worked on and how I should proceed with training on my own. Paul showed me how to walk with my pup and I was astonished how well he was walking, I didn’t have to pull him back once, I can eat food with him sitting in place, in general a completely different dog. My pup did show signs of trying to revert back to some of his old ways, (minor pulling on leash when walking, not heeling as close to my side but still a game changer to where he was) Once he started reverting back to his old ways, Paul called me and gave me a few best practices and even offered to come back to me to help with the training. Overall, very satisfied with the work and training they did for my pup. Thank you Paul! You are a true professional and I love this veteran owned business!

An amazing experience for both me and my dog. You can really see the care they put into training the dog and owner. I love that it is a veteran owned and run company that has quality equipment and personnel. We have a hard headed old English bulldog and they not only get through to him but he loves going there as well. We use them for boarding whenever we leave town because we know they don't just sit in a kennel all day.
