Paul did a great job training my German shepherd puppy and is very responsive and compassionate with what he does. He also boarded her for us when she was extremely anxious being crate trained and when she came home she was perfect in her crate and has never had an issue with it since. Highly recommend for all your pets needs from training to boarding and everything in between.

Paul is an excellent dog trainer! I impulsively adopted a male Rottweiler-mix puppy. It might not have been the best plan, and I wasn't prepared for how out of control things got with him. Thankfully, I knew who to call, because Paul has trained dogs for our family before: a Malamute and a German Shepherd puppy. Well, I'm glad I called! Once again, things have drastically improved with my puppy.

If you're on the fence about investing in training, let Peanut and Butter's journey convince you. We started working with Paul in July 2024 with two German Shepherd mixes who were reactive to both people and dogs. We had gone through bite incidents — human and dog — and felt like we had tried everything. Nothing was working, and honestly, every walk felt like a crisis waiting to happen. We couldn't enjoy life together outside of our home. I felt responsible and heartbroken for my dogs and for myself. We enrolled in the lifetime training program right after our temperament test, and the transformation has been real. Peanut and Butter are no longer reactive to people at all — they can meet strangers out and about and genuinely enjoy getting pets from everyone. Dog reactivity is still a work in progress, but the improvement is night and day. Our walks are calmer, the constant emergency feeling is gone, and the embarrassment and fear we used to carry everywhere? Gone too. And it doesn't stop at training. Paul boards Peanut and Butter whenever I travel, and they love it there. I leave knowing they're in the best hands — with someone who actually knows them. They also come home squeak

Our German Shepherd (in the most loving way possible) is a beautiful little monster. She comes from a long line of working and show dogs, and as such, she needs a job. In her mind, her designated job is “guard dog”, which, in theory, is great… sometimes. However, it has also led to issues with her being over-protective, reactive, and obstinate. We have been working with Paul for a little over a year on these traits, and have seen tremendous progress. When we first brought our girl to Paul, she could hardly walk on leash without pulling or getting distracted by various things around her. Now, my husband and I walk her with no issue - close to other people, pets, bikes, and skateboards - and she merely trots along, unfazed. Since working with Paul, she has shown immense improvement in her behaviors both outside and inside of the house. Paul is one of the few people she respects; he is one of the few people that she considers her “inner circle”. We also can trust him to take care of her while we are on vacation, as we board her with him when we go. He is one of the only people we know she will never feel intimidated by or scared of (though best believe she respects him!). The long

Been working with Paul for about 3 years now with our male Rottweiler. Paul was incredibly helpful during the process even before we picked up our dog as a pup. Paul helped us deal with our dog's aggressive and dominant behavior exhibited early on and he's been an awesome dog since. We regularly do doggy daycare and boarding with Paul in addition to the training. Would recommend him to anyone looking for someone who genuinely cares about dogs and has a ton of experience handling more complicated dog breeds!
