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.

Merlin had a great time working with Paul! I am so grateful to have Paul as a resource in helping my puppy grow into the best dog he can be. We first met when Merlin was 3 months of age last week... He came to our house where Merlin is most comfortable - it was great to have confirmation that I am doing the right thing as a new puppy mom! He really understands how dogs think and reads various behaviors. I feel comfortable reaching out with questions down the road. We look forward to group sessions later this month. This is only the beginning to a long term relationship! :)

Paul is an outstanding trainer and a lovely human being. He came to my home for a private lesson with my 6-month-old Weimaraner whose energy he described as "off the charts". To be completely honest, despite recently having lost a 13.5 year old Weim (so I know the breed well and love them), I have been contemplating returning her to the breeder because of her erratic and stressful behavior. When Paul arrived, my pup, Ocean, repeatedly jumped on him and even nipped at his arm. Paul swiftly and calmly escorted her to her crate – just for a couple minutes – and repeated this several times as he explained how the crate can be used (in moderation and only for extreme bad behavior) in this way. And there were other new techniques he introduced Ocean and me to over the course of 2 hours. Miraculously, ever since Paul's visit, Ocean has been even and manageable. He knows his stuff! And he helped me shift my plan for her exercise and maintenance so I feel encouraged and hopeful. I want to assure prospective clients that Paul is a knowledgeable, skillful, upbeat, reliable professional who is committed to successful outcomes.

My husband and I w Paul's training was really helpful for our dog Rocky. He was a 15 month old rescue at the time and this group training really helped teach us and our dog some basic techniques that we could reinforce at home. After each session, Paul would send weekly notes to us as a follow up and was always just an email or phone call away if we had a question. We would highly recommend Pawsitive Paul's Dog Training!

Took his basic obedience class and have used him twice for private sessions. Great experience every time! Love the positive techniques, and he explains dog behavior really well. It's really made a difference in my dog's behavior.
