I've been looking for a dog trainer for my pit mastiff lad mix puppy that would be great not only for her but also for my family. He gave great at-home training advice while also being honest about the mistakes that I've been making at home to help improve the process of training her. The best trainer I've come across. Very glad I found him.

I have a new puppy and I knew it was a little early to start really training him but I wanted to make sure that I was doing everything right and that I was teaching him and not discouraging him. Paul really helped put my mind at ease with just one phone call and one session. He taught me how to speak to my dog and correct my dog without saying no. I am hoping to continue training with Paul once Benny comes of age!

You've heard the phrase "actions speak louder than words". The fact that we are sending our 3rd dog to the dog professor should tell you what an amazing job Paul does. We could not be more pleased with the results. He is deeply knowledgable and very passionate about dogs. I wouldn't have a dog that hadn't been put through his obedience training. It's a night and day difference pre and post training. He's also true to the life time guarantee as we have called on Paul numerous times when new issues surfaced like our Boykin marking his territory when we brought in our new golden retriever pup. He counseled us on how to correct the issue. It was also beneficial to have his advice on the timing and breeder selection for our new puppy. He knew the personalities and temperament of our other dogs. Stella has made a wonderful addition to our family and just began her obedience training with Paul at 8 months old. We can't wait to have her back home. Toward the end of her training, her housemate Brody will join her so Paul can work with both at the same time before returning back home. Paul's training is worth every dollar! Trained dogs make happy dogs and even happier homes and families!!

We used Paul as a trainer for our dog Titan. Paul asked what our hopes were to accomplish through training. From our request he was able to outline a timeline for training our dog. He came each week very professionally and worked with Titan. During phases of training he would show us Titan's progress and teach us the necessary skills to be successful in commands with him. At the end of the training Titan had accomplished our request that we had established and we were pleased with the results.
