OBEDIENCE DOG TRAINING

Our experience with Paul and his training method exceeded our expectations. Our new German Shepherd, Ruger responded well to the training method. Ruger is definitely a pup that was trying to find his place in the pack and Paul taught me methods that will continue to let Ruger know where that is! Rugers house manners have drastically improved and the training method has improved his ability to focus when I’m trying to teach him mental games and search. The best part is you will learn why your dog doesn’t listen to you and how to correct it yourself. I highly recommend Paul if you are in need of training.

Paul was a wonderful trainer who was very knowledgeable. We adopted a puppy after years of both of us not owning a dog so we needed as much training as the dog did. After just a couple of weeks, we noticed a big difference in our dog's behavior and he is nearly housebroken already. We would recommend Paul to anyone who would like to have their dog become a well behaved member of their household.

As a follow up to our rescue of a 5 month old puppy, we contacted Paul to help us with obedience training and acclimating our older dog to his new 'sibling'. From start to finish, our experience was outstanding. Paul responded immediately to an initial phone inquiry and even during that exploratory conversation he was generous with his time to ask about our pup, our home environment, our goals and offer ideas and guidance. This formed a foundation for our plan. Once our decision was made, he outlined specific training needs and behavior issues to be addressed and methodically followed through by addressing them in the 2 sessions we had. His skill with the dogs was immediately apparent and his relationship with our dogs showed not only his skill in managing them but his genuine affection for them. His style of instructing us in technique (demonstrate, have us practice, correct and follow up) gave us confidence as well as the training tools we needed. Between the 2 sessions, Paul reached out to us to see how our training was going, advise on any issues and add activities to include in our second and last session. In addition to the training specifics, Paul was invaluable in guiding us about various issues - car rides, dog food, leashes, cleaning supplies, etc. etc. Certainly it's easy to go to a pet store and invest in pricey supplies that just don't meet the need, so his input was much appreciated. Not only did he leave us with written materials but even allowed us to video during the sessions for ongoing reference. We feel fortunate to have found Paul as a resource and would recommend him and his program without hesitation to anyone looking for an exceptional and positive experience in dog training. Thanks, Paul!
