Pawesome Dog Training

Some photos of our 6-month-old husky, Phoenix’s first professional training session with Paul Kearney at PawesomeDogs.Com! Phoenix is starting to learn some cues and signals that will help her stay safe and reliable while building a strong family bond with us. When we first brought Phoenix home, she thought our daughter was a non-furry playmate, but today within minutes she recognized our daughter as a trusted, loving, fun handler. Our daughter grasped the concepts really quickly, as Paul breaks everything down to be easily understood. She has been applying them around the house all by herself ever since. Paul uses a holistic, fear-free, non-force method which Phoenix found to be extremely fun (like a game), yet it is already solving some of the issues we have been encountering at home. He really understands how a husky’s brain works. If this is what he helped us accomplish in a few minutes, we are very excited to see how Phoenix (and we) progress! If anyone is looking for an experienced, knowledgeable, patient dog trainer, this is your guy! He comes to your home and works with the entire family in your dog’s actual environment. (Thanks, Paul….we will practice what we have learned and see you in about ten days!)

Paul is the most amazing trainer we have ever worked with. Since my schedule is ever changing he has changed his schedule on short notice to accommodate me. He takes photos of my dog and videos and shares them with me. He is hands on and when I ask I get homework to work on. He has worked with my dog trooper since Trooper was 4 months old. His kindness and compassion is truly amazing. I have another dog was 10 years old who Barks at everyone and does not like other dogs. When Paul arrives she just watches him and truly loves being around him I have never experienced anything like this.I recommend Paul 100% and if you get the chance you should meet his huskies. They are the best behaved dogs I have ever seenIf you are looking to train your dog with compassion and get a whole new understanding of your dog and why he is doing what he is and how to offer Alternatives Paul is your trainer.

Paul is a great trainer and someone who is extremely knowledgeable about dogs, their needs, wants and their motivations. Paul is always giving references to how pertinent positive reinforcement is and where it originated, how the law of effect plays a huge role in teaching and explains the history of Thorndikes Reinforcement along with the proven effects. I don’t say specifically dog trainer because ultimately it’s about teaching people so they can then communicate properly with their dogs to grow their relationships, increase desired behavior and add enrichment to their dogs each and every day! Paul is just a very kind hearted person who loves to give dogs the best life possible and is always noticing the smallest micro aggression or frustration in a dog that most people wouldn’t perceive. He is very patient and understanding of how busy a persons schedule can be so from the first session he explained that if I purchased a set amount of classes for a discounted fee that it would be up to me to reach out and set those further appointments up which I really appreciated because life can be crazy! Unforeseen events pop into our schedules, maybe it’s raining out and your dog can’t focus during the rain so holding a session outside while that major distraction is going on will not be helpful to you, your dog or the training in general. Paul was always great about swapping dates or times of sessions which worked perfectly for me since I had a varying work schedule along with being a full time student. His flexibility was definitely a huge benefit for me and his knowledge was not only intriguing but helped me discover an even greater appreciation for dogs which I didn’t think was possible as I am such a dog lover already. I love introducing new enrichment ideas to dogs and helping them by mentally and physically stimulating them. The Flirt Pole is one of my favorite things to use that Paul first introduced to me and my dog Kai instantly connected with it. We were able to make it a fun way of communicating and learning all while having a great time. I would highly recommend Paul to anyone looking to enrich their dog’s life, wants help with training or better communication with their dog or is just curious about force free, fear free training and how to properly implement that in your home! Even after our sessions were completed Paul and I remained in close contact being that he is someone I admire and want to continue learning from so I can keep fueling the positive reinforcement and fear free environment around me even if it starts in small ways.

Paul is a great dog trainer and has helped me so much with my husky over the past 5 years since I adopted her. He is very flexible & knowledgeable, practices 100% fear and force free training and really gets to know your dog as an individual in order to determine the best approach. He has helped me to transform my timid girl who was afraid of everything into a confident & social therapy dog & I can not thank him enough for his guidance.

Paul is amazing. He successfully formed an amazing bond with my 6 year old and our new golden retriever puppy. She was petrified of our puppy to the point where we didn’t know if it would work. 1 session of them together and immediately we saw a change. Over time he taught us many strategies and still continues to be a great resource for me to go to. Paul is always willing to answer all my questions. I highly Recommend Paul.

Paul is amazing at his craft, and a dog lover at that. He brought us our rescue buddha and helped us acclimate him to his new home and his brothers. Now a few years later he has again helped us with our newest puppy. If your looking for a caring, loving, extremely knowledgeable dog trainer look no further.

How do I begin writing a review for someone so amazing? I can start off by saying that some people are destined to do certain things and Paul was born to become a DOG TRAINER! Paul does everything with passion, a sense of humor, love, and patience. Paul has devoted his life’s calling to truly being an advocate for dogs. I wholeheartedly feel that if you are looking for someone to improve your whole relationship with your dog, and give them and yourself a better life, Paul easily becomes the voice for your dog and helps teach you how to understand them and their difficulties or troubles. Paul has helped my family and I prepare for our new baby; he provided us with lots of great information to help us better understand how our dog feels and how we can overcome some issues many trainers couldn’t even begin to understand in the past. We adopted our Husky Mix Molly because we fell in love with her as soon as we saw her, and even though we knew she needed us, it was us who needed her more.Molly has a troubled background, having been abandoned in the woods and forced to fend for herself until she was rescued.Paul focuses on fear free training methods which are easy to understand whether your dog is a puppy or more of a senior. He works with all breeds of dogs and all people in a respectful and fun manner. Paul will answer your calls or texts, he will stay with you until you are 100% sure what you need to do, and he will get on the floor and lay down with your dog if that’s what it takes. He has done this with our Molly in a public park, and yes, Molly loved him for it. Molly was extremely fearful prior to our sessions with Paul.We are proud to call Paul a true genius in his field, and a friend we will forever be grateful for. Don’t think twice before calling him, it will be the best decision you ever made for yourself, your pet, and your whole family.

Paul is an amazing dog trainer. He puts his heart and soul in to every dog he meets. No matter what you need help with he will have an answer. I highly recommend him. I have 7 huskys of my own and through his guidance my dogs are well trained well loved and happy dogs

Paul’s knowledge of EVERYTHING DOG is like no other person I have met before. We are both in the “dog industry” and I will forever refer Paul to my clients when they are in need of dog training. 🙌

Seemed great but we paid him for multiple sessions and our next scheduled one he didnt show. He called almost an hour after scheduled time and said he was injured and would get back to us to reschedule. Check was cashed and we never heard from him again.

I write this with great sorrow. Paul trained our first dog and when we got our 2nd, I knew he was the guy to call. Paul has passed away and is running free with the pups forever. Thank you for your help in the past and wish we could work together again. Rest easy.
