Portland's Leading Dog Trainer for Aggression, Anxiety & Behavioral Issues

With over 25 years of hands-on experience, Paul is one of Portland's most trusted dog behavior specialists. He works with all breeds and all challenges, but is best known for his results with aggression rehabilitation, canine anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive behaviors — the cases other trainers turn away.

Paul's balanced approach is fully customized to each dog. He believes no dog is beyond help, and takes pride in turning even the most complex behavioral cases into balanced, confident, and fulfilled companions.

Earlier in his career, Paul was a dedicated German Shepherd breeder, producing over 25 litters from premium working and show lines imported from Germany. He also founded and operated a German Shepherd rescue program for 15 years, successfully rehabilitating and rehoming hundreds of dogs in need of a second chance.

Today, Paul devotes himself fully to professional dog behavior training — helping families throughout Portland and beyond find lasting solutions to leash reactivity, dog aggression, anxiety, and more.

When he's not working with clients, you'll find him restoring vintage mountain bikes, catching live music, or spending time with his personal pack of German Shepherds. 🐾
