Questions & answers
From GoogleWhat 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.

I had originally set up a private session to work with Mu, my greyhound mix, on his anxiety and aggression issues, but then lockdown happened. Paul was so responsive, first rescheduling (when we thought this was short term) and then offering to do a zoom or phone session. I wasn’t sure if a phone call would really be enough to get results, but the techniques (watch me and redirection, especially) and all of the tips specific to Mu’s breed and personality have been so helpful. Mu is now able to walk by dogs and strangers with hardly any reaction. Mu’s on a great track and it’s taken a huge stress off of me. We’ll definitely be scheduling an in person session as soon as that’s an option.
Highly recommend working with Paul! Well worth the money for sure. My rescue dog Effie has issues with lunging at men, other dogs, and people on bicycles and scooters.

Highly recommend working with Paul! Well worth the money for sure. My rescue dog Effie has issues with lunging at men, other dogs, and people on bicycles and scooters. Basically, I couldn't take her out without worrying constantly that she was going to try and jump/nip someone. Paul's expertise and upbeat attitude in just one session really made a difference. It's only been a day or two after our session and I've noticed an incredible improvement with Effie. Paul's advice and training is personal and well-tailored to your dog upon meeting them. He truly wants the best for your dog and is very responsive via email and phone. Along with the in-person session, Paul provides a zoom call follow-up and is always ready to answer any questions that may come up throughout your dog's training. He also emails you detailed, written documents and notes to further help with training. Please work with Paul, he is the best dog trainer in Baltimore! Very affordable pricing compared to all other trainers / training programs in the area. You can tell he does this because he absolutely adores dogs and is an excellent trainer.
Really cares about the pups! Ours learned a lot :) Thank you Paul!
We recently had a zoom session with our new puppy Piper. Paul was great, he taught Piper and more importantly her new owners a lot of really helpful lessons. Piper is on way to becoming a well behaved puppy!
