Meet Paola
Paola’s love for dogs has been a lifelong journey, but it was the addition of her first dog, Molly May—a spirited husky—to her family that transformed her passion into a professional pursuit. Inspired by Molly’s unique personality and challenges, Paola decided to turn her deep love for animals into a career and began working towards becoming a certified dog trainer.
With over five years of experience working with dogs and two years as a certified trainer, Paola specializes in positive, balanced training methods that emphasize understanding, communication, and trust between dogs and their owners. She has successfully worked with a wide range of dogs, including those struggling with leash reactivity, aggression, anxiety, and more.
Paola trained in Tennessee, where she gained expertise in areas such as positive reinforcement, canine first aid & CPR, service dog training, and behavior modification. She continues to refine her skills through ongoing education, including attending seminars, workshops, and staying current with the latest research in canine behavior science. Paola is also a certified AKC Canine Good Citizen Evaluator, and her hands-on approach and keen intuition allow her to quickly assess a dog’s needs and provide tailored solutions for both dogs and their owners.
Her mission is to empower dog owners with the knowledge and tools to build strong, healthy relationships with their pets. Whether it's addressing behavioral challenges, teaching basic obedience, or preparing for advanced tasks, Paola is committed to providing effective, compassionate training that makes a lasting impact.
