What people have asked about this business.

So I got a husky and work 9-5 5 days a week do you do sessions where he can be there while I work

Sorry, that’s not the type of training that I do. What you’re looking for is more of a “training boot camp”. Honestly though, a doggy daycare would suit your needs better. At the very least, it will give your dog some playtime with other dogs and relieve them of pent up energy.

Paul was outstanding. I couldn’t be more impressed with his professionalism, knowledge, and patience, and the value we got from our session. We covered everything: crate training, biting, basic commands, how to handle public outings, and even different games to keep our dog engaged. Every question we had, he answered with clear, practical advice and real examples that actually made it stick. I’ve had dogs my entire life, and I still learned a ton from Paul. That alone says a lot. He’s worth every penny. We’ll absolutely be working with him again, and it genuinely feels like we’ve found not just a trainer, but someone we trust for the long haul. 10 out of 10, highly recommend.

Paul is an outstanding dog trainer. He is experienced, patient, and highly effective. My dog responded wonderfully to his methods, and I could see real results quickly. I highly recommend Paul to anyone looking for a skilled and compassionate trainer.

We had Paul come in for a private session with our 6 month old puppy. We had a great time learning some things we were already doing well and some things that we ought to adjust (and we noticed almost immediate improvements in some of our puppy's behaviors as we tried them out both with Paul and afterwards). Paul is incredibly friendly, very responsive, and we (puppy included!) loved working with him. Highly recommend having him come out if you are looking to build a strong training foundation with your dog!

Paul was great to work with! My partner and I are first-time dog owners of a sweet but skittish little rescue girl. We reached out to Paul a few days after adopting her after realizing she was struggling with separation anxiety and decompression and because we wanted to ensure we were equipped with the right knowledge and tools to train her and ensure a smooth transition to her new home in the city. He was able to come over for an in-home training session within a few days of reaching out and we were so impressed with his knowledge and his training techniques. Our one session did wonders in building our confidence as dog owners and our little girl Pixie is already doing so much better with her separation anxiety and learning basic commands just a few days later. Thank you Paul!
