Confidence. Awareness. Leadership

WalkSMART™ Academy

WalkSMART Academy is THE knowledge hub behind Paul’s Paws.
It’s not about obedience training. It’s about teaching you — the human — how to walk your dog with calm confidence in any environment.

Through WalkSMART, you’ll learn how to:

  • Lead with a loose leash and steady energy.
  • Spot distractions before your dog reacts.
  • Handle meet-and-greets without stress.
  • Build calm, positive habits on busy city sidewalks.
  • Create trust and teamwork every time you walk.

Think of WalkSMART as your urban walking toolkit — practical, real-world strategies that make daily outings easier, safer, and more enjoyable.

Why being able to WalkSMART matters

WalkSMART™ is a simple framework based on a real-world approach that helps dog owners handle city walks with more confidence and calm.

Most walking struggles aren’t about “stubborn dogs” — they’re about communication. WalkSMART helps bridge that gap, so you and your dog move together as a team.

✔ Less pulling and frustration
✔ More focus and connection
✔ Stress-free socialization in real-world spaces
✔ A calmer, happier bond on every walk
