Paul was a great dog walker for our high energy, highly intelligent teenage pup!

Our shy teenage dog had been doing better with walks, but the recent fireworks really set him back--Paul has been so kind and patient with him, putting in time to bond, taking things slowly, and communicating/collaborating with us about potential solutions. We're really grateful and couldn't recommend him enough, especially if your pup needs a gentle hand.

A typical day

I actually enjoy endless fetch and tug. But I have found that dog training with tricks and impulse control tires dogs out more. Sometimes using their brains can be exhausting
