Experienced dog walker and trainer

Pet care experience

I started working for Barkly Pets 4 years ago and have cared for over 200 dogs and cats. Unfortunately, the company went out of business due to the pandemic I am a huge lover of all animals with a optimistic and positive attitude toward all things. I have years of experience working with and training dogs. I have worked for several kennels in the DC/MD area. I have also owned and trained several different breeds of dogs since my youth. Very proficient in leash and positive reinforcement training as well as some behavior modification training. I myself likes to get in several miles a day and think it's very important for most dogs get the proper exercise and play daily depending on size and age of the dog. If your looking for someone that gives love and thats great with animals then I'm your guy. For example: An owner complained that her dog would run away when not held by his leash. I taught her dog and most of my trainees to stop walking when not held by a leash or to heel when when confronted by other dogs or people. I have over 25 years experience working with and training all types/sizes/ breed of dogs. I also have been trained in animal health care for many types of emergency including CPR and . Dogs are pack animals and want to please they're owners and should be rewarded with plenty of love. Can also train some dogs with basic German and French command.

Paul was a great rover, he kept me updated throughout the day, he took my dogs for a nice walk, one of my dogs is really nervous around strangers and liked him right away. I would definitely use him again next time I am in the area.

I was worried about dropping off my large, teenage, high maintenance Bernedoodle for day care, but he had a great time! Paul was responsive, professional, and sent us multiple update.

Paul is an amazing caretaker. My baby boy leaves happy, well fed, and EXHAUSTED :D He seriously sleeps as soon as we get home. Also, I notice how calm and contented he is during the days following daycare. Thank you, Paul, for showing my pup-child such great kindness and love!!
