Nothing like a mid laugh photo, but training can be fun! This is a bit winded review, but if you have a Reactive pup…it worth the read!

I’m beyond grateful to Paul for the incredible transformation he’s helped my dog, Millie, experience. When we first began, Millie was a bundle of reactivity—lunging, barking, and acting like every dog on the block was a personal threat. Our walks were stressful, to say the least, and the barrier aggression she had with her brother was creating tension in the house. I felt like I was constantly playing defense, unsure of how to make real progress. But that all changed when we started working with Paul.

What sets Paul apart is his “I train you, you train your pup” philosophy. It’s not just about fixing the behavior—it’s about teaching me how to communicate with Millie in a way that makes sense to her. Paul empowered me with the tools to understand her triggers, respond calmly, and create a positive connection between us. And the results? Astonishing. Our walks are now peaceful. Millie is no longer reacting to every dog we pass; she’s focused on me, walking calmly and with purpose. Her leash manners are now a source of pride, and her anxiety that once seemed insurmountable is now something we can manage.

Even the barrier aggression we struggled with has completely resolved. Millie and her brother are now coexisting peacefully, which is nothing short of a miracle. It’s such a relief to see them share space without constant tension. And as for me, I’m a better, more confident pup parent. I now understand Millie’s needs on a deeper level, and I’m equipped to handle situations calmly and with certainty.

Millie is thriving, and we’re both excited to continue her training beyond the 8-week obedience program. She’s energized by the challenge and is constantly eager to learn new skills. I’m amazed at how far we’ve come in such a short time—and I know the journey is just beginning.

Paul has given us more than just a training program; it’s a new “leash” on life.

My husband and I have a four year old terrier mix and decided to get another dog for companionship. Well, we weren’t given the best advice on how to introduce the two. There was some territory issues and it ended in a trip to the vet. I knew I had to get help from a trainer immediately if I wanted to keep the new puppy. I spent hours researching trainers and asking around. So many people recommended Paul! They said stop your search, stop over thinking, and call Paul NOW! Well that is one of the best decisions we ever made.

Paul spoke with us on the phone to learn as much as he could about our dogs and the situation. He was giving us advice and took the time to explain all of our options. We ultimately decided on the three week board and train for both dogs.

I was so nervous and scared on the way to drop them off but as soon as I pulled up Paul eased all of my doubt and anxiety. He continued talking with me and getting more information on my dogs. He even spoke with me about “my homework” and how the training isn’t just for the dogs but for us as well. He recommended a great self help book and told me what I could do to get the house prepared for when the dogs came home.

Paul learned real quick how much I love my dogs and throughout those three weeks he checked in a bunch! He sent updates and pictures of the dogs! We would come in after each week for training. I was amazed at the knowledge Paul has! Each weekend I saw the dogs, they had learned so much. Paul worked hard to build their confidence using a confidence course. He taught them so many basic commands and recall. He helped my four year old dog work through his fear aggression and anxiety! He helped guide my husband and I on how to properly continue training them.

I can’t recommend Paul at Integrated k9 solutions enough! He is not only extremely knowledgeable on how to train dogs but he is passionate about his work! He will always be apart of our little family and we can’t thank him for all he has done!

I would highly recommend Paul at Integrated K9 Solutions for training your dog whether it be a puppy or an older dog. Paul not only taught our dog, but he taught us as well. We will definitely be taking our next puppy to him for training. Paul is very knowledgeable in his technical and training skills plus has a great sense of humor. He will make you laugh and have a good time, while still training. If I could give more than 5 stars, I definitely would. Thank you Paul!!!!!

When my puppy chose me and we started this journey, the first trainer that came up in convo was Paul. He was highly recommended by all of the ladies in the medical field that works with my wife, He immediately started into a confidence course and the rest has been history. He will help shape that bond between you and your dog and can help with any level of obedience and drive. If you have a great dog and want a little more from it, IK9S is the solution. Ask about group classes, One on one, protection training, and The Kennel Club.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I took Paul my 4 month old German shepherd puppy for two weeks of board and train. I got updates while he was there and he looked to be enjoying himself! Paul did fantastic with him. My only regret is not taking him to Paul sooner. Paul is a wonderful handler and commands respect from the dogs he works with. I wouldn’t trust my dogs with anyone else. I know my dog is set on the right path to be a well behaved and confident dog thanks to the work Paul put into my boy. Paul will by my dog trainer for life.

Highly recommend Paul for any kind of dog need. I have a Siberian Husky whose breed is known to be independent, have a high prey drive, and be extremely social with anything that moves. I brought my husky to Paul to help with all of these, and now my husky will stay in the “stay/place” position no matter what is near him (even a chicken 😟🙌🏼). Not only that, but we were able to work on his pulling while on a leash. He is now so good at walking with a leash, my niece who is 8 can walk him without me having to worry he’ll pull. I have learned so much from Paul, and I will be forever thankful for his time spent on my dog.

I honestly can’t recommend Paul enough! After trying multiple training classes and board-and-train programs with no real progress, we were starting to feel like we’d hit a wall with our Boxer. That’s when we found Paul. From the very first session, I noticed a difference—our pup started becoming more willing to cooperate, and by the end of his board-and-train, it felt like we had a completely different dog. Our biggest struggles were leash reactivity, not being able to read social cues from other dogs, and, let’s be honest, just getting him to listen (because he’s incredibly stubborn!). But Paul didn’t just work with our dog—he worked with us too. He taught us how to handle tricky situations and how to address the reactivity. If you’re truly committed to training your dog and becoming a better handler yourself, Paul is absolutely the person to trust!

Where do I even begin with how highly I recommend Paul and his 3 week board and train
program..
I have a 1.5 year old golden retriever who is my absolute WORLD & I was terrified to send him away for 3 weeks. Paul took the time to listen to all of my concerns and put my heart at ease. Not only does Paul care about the success of your fur baby, but also the success of yourself as well.
I truly owe him so much because he has changed our lives for the better. My golden started this program with little to no confidence (literally, would not even n go up 2 stairs) and is now completing his confidence course with ease and is HAPPY to do it. It’s like he helped fill in the missing puzzle pieces!
Walks are so much more enjoyable for the both of us, being able to take him anywhere that is dog friendly & not having to wonder “how is he going to act” truly just makes our day to day life SO much better. I want to be able to take him with me everywhere I can, so having this training has truly changed the game because now I can. Now I never have to wonder “oh gosh how is he going to do here”, because now he can settle anywhere.
I love that Paul brings you in once a week to learn all the things that your baby has learned in the previous week. They learn & transform so much in just a week so being able to come in and learn and comprehend everything that they have done in the previous week is a huge help. He also has group classes on Saturday that you can attend to help keep your training in check & socialize your dog with others! Which is truly so incredible to see ALL the dogs being so obedient and so happy to be there.
My only regret? I didn’t find Paul sooner. I would do this over & over & over x1000 if I needed to (but I don’t bc Paul is just that good).
