Urban Canine Socialization & Enrichment

Building calm, confident, and city-ready dogs and empowered owners.

At Paul’s Paws, I specialize in Urban Canine Socialization & Enrichment — structured sessions that teach both dogs and owners how to navigate real city life.

As a certified professional and lifelong city resident, I specialize in helping dogs—and their humans—navigate the daily challenges of urban life.

From crowded sidewalks and scooter traffic to public patios, noise, and leash-reactive triggers.I help you plan, predict, and prevent with my WalkSMART™ method. Together, we create calm, confident walks — and a dog that thrives in the city.
