What I Offer

Private, In-Home Lessons
I come to you, for 30-minute private lessons, in YOUR home. I fit training into YOUR busy schedule. We start with a complimentary meet-and-greet and meet once a week to train fundamental behaviors (Sit, Down, Stay, Come, Watch Me, Touch, Leave It and Drop It) and leash walking. We can also address any unwanted behaviors like Jumping, Housebreaking, Digging, Chewing, Puppy "Biting" and Counter Surfing with a Behavior Modification Plan. Life is too short to not enjoy the company of your dog! If you are too busy to train your dog with me, I can also do "day training" packages in your own home. With this option, I do a couple lessons with the dog, alone, and then catch you up with what we are doing in a transfer lesson. Please contact me directly for options.
Daily Walks
I come to your home and take your dog out for a 20- or 30-minute walk. We can work training polite behaviors like Sit at Streets and leash reactivity issues, if your dog is a training client. My daily dog clients have learned to loose-leash walk and heel in the course of our daily walks. Walking well on a leash requires PRACTICE, PATIENCE and PAY (rewards). If you do not enjoy walking your own dog, or are unable to, please give me a chance to help or do it for you! My specialty is Walk & Train outings. I come and walk your dog, privately, and we work on basic and advanced leash skills. Make it a package and let me show you how, once your dog and I are in step.
Petsitting
I come to your house while you are away overnight or on vacation. I DO NOT offer overnight pet sitting, but prefer to come either 3-4 times a day (early morning-night between hours of 7am to 10pm) to feed, water, play with and walk your dog. I also have training in caring for cats, birds, fish and reptiles and small animals, if needed. +PET CPR & FIRST AID CERTIFIED

Rewarding Your Best Friends

As a pet owner of two large, senior dogs, a parrot and tropical fish aquarium, I know how important quality care is and how it can be difficult to find someone to love and care for your pets when you aren't there. Whether it be walks, training or pet sitting, you can rest assured that I will care for your "fur babies" as if they were my own.
I specialize in basic training of your pup in manners. If you'd like more assistance on obedience training or non-aggressive behavior modification, I'd be happy to help with that, as well. I prefer to use positive reinforcement training methods only.
Training, Walks & Petsits by Paula is fully bonded and insured. I'm a member of Pet Sitters International. I have been certified in Pet CPR and First Aid and have graduated from CATCH Canine Trainers Academy.

    "Paula is amazing!!!! She is great with my pup Oliver and has helped my husband and I learn how to train him. She gives great feedback and tricks and tips. She provides weekly ‘homework’ aka - a super easy to follow list of things we can work on at home to help Oliver become the best pup he can be! :) We love our weekly visits with Paula and look forward to them each week!!!"(Sep 9, 2020)

    "Paula has been helping us with our dog, Gus, for the last couple of months. She has a very patient and calm approach to dog training which is a nice relief as it can be difficult to stay on top of at times. She teaches us the fundamentals of her techniques so it's not just our dog being trained, but helps us learn what Gus needs to keep improving. It's been great so far and is so fun to see the results with our dog week in and week out. She's very easy to get a hold of and is flexible with her schedule. Very helpful with my sometimes busy schedule. We highly recommend."(June 16, 2020)

    "Paula is great with our dog Luna and Luna really loves her. I think she has built in clock so she knows when Paula is coming. She gets so excited. When they get back from a walk Luna wants to share her favorite toys with Paula." (June 10, 2020)

    "Paula is an amazing dog trainer! I would highly recommend her! She is very calm and patient during training and that has made a world of difference in my dog. Brooklyn is very high strung, but since working with Paula I have noticed a big change. She is following commands, like never before she is more disciplined and calm. The best part working with Paula is she has shown me how to build a stronger bond with Brooklyn. Paula is the best dog trainer ever!" (July 2, 2020)

    "Paula has been our pet sitter and dogs walker for quite some time now, she is absolutely the best! My girl loves her time with her so much! Paula always is extremely attentive and loving towards her, she treats my pup as if she were her own doggie. Paula always leaves note regarding each visit and let's us know about play time, treats, meals etc. Paula also previously took care of our other girl when she was very sick. Even though my dog was a little difficult at times Paula still took exceptional care of her and made sure she was well taken care of and that she got all of her medication etc. I'm so thankful that we found Paula and for all of her love and care towards our furry babies when we are away at work or are traveling."

    "Paula is an amazing pet Sitter and trainer! When I hired Paula to take care of my dogs it was because I could not walk them myself (I had surgery). They immediately became attached to her! My Daisy and Poky knew when she pulled into the driveway! They barked and barked... so excited that she was there to take them on their walks, give them treats, feed them. There is no one else I would trust for my pets and my home. You know your pets are safe and LOVED with Paula!" (Mar 10, 2020)
