OBEDIENCE DOG TRAINING

yes, i recommend paul hormann of obedience dog training, especially if you have an intelligent but obstinate dog. my recent rescue, a 9-lb male poodle mix behavior was getting worst by the day as he was getting more comfortable in his new home; aggressive toward people and bigger dogs, lunging at cars, constant barking at the television, vacuum cleaner and whatever else he did not approve of that particular day. subconsciously, i knew he needed firm direction but i was apprehensive because i did not want to make a bad situation worst and material i was reading was offering conflicting information. no amount of treats or compassionate excuses for his past life was going to rectify the situation. it was either hire a professional trainer or return him to the rescue group which is something i never thought i would consider. i chose paul after speaking with several trainers based on his years of experience and willingness to work with my dog as an individual instead of merely applying generic methods. two long training session later and i now have a dog i can live with. understand that you, the pet parent, will do most of the work. commitment and consistency are crucial to success. paul will train you to train your dog. once you manage to get your dog to take you seriously you will see progress. i believe paul is an honest person whose approach is firm but fair. i found him very easy to work with. he may be more expensive than other trainers you interview; however, for me, it was entirely worth it. my dog and i have a way to go but we are on the correct path. our bond is stronger and he is more confident in me each day; his behavior is improving rapidly. these were my objectives in hiring a trainer and paul met them. jude fawley and suzanna bridehead thank you.

My wife and I were in need of a dog trainer for our 3 month old female golden retriever Charlie. We did some research and found Paul thru a google search and decided to reach out to him based on all the excellent reviews he’s received. Our consultation conversation went well and we made the necessary training and obedience appointments with Paul. His training methods are tried and true and work extremely well. He had little Charlie obeying commands of sit, stay and come in just a few hours. Paul even worked our 11yr old son into the training hands on. Paul checked up on Charlie’s progress and was available and prompt in answering any questions we had. We followed his instructions and training exercises he set out for us and the results are amazing. Charlie, now 5.5 months old, is well behaved and obedient. Paul is a wealth of knowledge, a true professional and a great guy. We are extremely happy with his services and would recommend him to anyone. Thanks Paul from Rick, Kristyn and Jaksyn
