Trajectory
With over 16 years of dedicated experience working with dogs, I’m Paul—a retired Army E8 and former Corrections Officer, proud to have served in both the military and law enforcement. My career in the Army instilled in me discipline, leadership, and a deep understanding of teamwork, while my role as a Special Operations Group (SOG) Team member sharpened my skills in high-pressure situations. After retiring from the Army, I turned my passion for dogs into a full-time career, enrolling in the prestigious Custom Canine Unlimited School in Georgia, where I completed dog training and handler instruction courses. I have been fortunate to work with dogs of all breeds, temperaments, and backgrounds, helping them develop into well-behaved companions. From high-energy working dogs to family pets, my approach centers on fostering clear communication between dogs and their owners. I believe that every dog deserves the chance to thrive, and the key to unlocking their potential lies in building a strong, trusting relationship. My mission is to help families create harmony with their dogs. I focus on bridging the gap between canine behavior and human understanding, guiding families through the process of training and communication. Whether it’s basic obedience or addressing more complex behavioral issues, my goal is to ensure that both the dog and the owner feel confident and happy.
My military and law enforcement background has given me a unique perspective when it comes to discipline, structure, and building trust. These principles are critical not only in training working dogs but also in helping families establish positive, effective communication with their pets. I take pride in the success stories I’ve been a part of, seeing dogs and their owners grow together and improve their lives. I love the variety of working with different dogs—every dog is unique, and every situation requires a tailored approach. Whether I’m working with a highly trained service dog or a family companion, my priority is creating a safe, respectful, and rewarding environment for both dog and owner. Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and I understand the impact a well-trained dog can have on a household. Whether you’re looking to improve obedience, tackle behavioral challenges, or just strengthen the bond with your dog, I’m here to help you every step of the way. Let’s work together to create a lasting relationship with your dog—one built on trust, respect, and understanding!
