High quality care, service, sitting and training for man's (and woman's) best friends!
It may seem basic, but at BIG DOG KENNELS, we love dogs! This is not as much a business as it is a passion. Dogs have brought such joy to us, we want to help others experience those same feelings. However many people find the pathway to feeling that joy is strewn with obstacles. Work schedules. Travel schedules. Teaching your dog the rules of the house. How to walk on leash. Stay off the furniture. Don't jump on visitors. That's where we come in!!!
Paul is Big Dog Kennel's Manager and Head Trainer and a life long lover and owner of dogs. Paul has been studying dog training techniques for 9 years. He has worked with breeds ranging from under 20 lbs to over 100 lbs. He is committed to helping dogs and their owners reach their goals. Big Dog Kennels is the culmination of his passion and training. Paul is a member of the Association of Professional Dog Trainers, as well as being certified by the AKC as a Canine Good Citizen (CGC) Evaluator.

Kaiya loved Paul and was kept busy. He sent me pictures and videos of her which made me feel at ease. I always have a hard time leaving her but with everything that he sent me but my mind at rest. I will definitely use Paul again.
Chelsea G.----VERIFIED STAY
Paul is great! We left our 6 month old puppy with him over the long weekend. It’s the first time we left her and he made us feel so comfortable right from the beginning. He updated us each day with pictures of our pup. Charlie had a wonderful time and was given all the attention and activity she needed. You can tell Paul loves what he does and he really cares about the dogs. He’s very flexible with drop off and pick up times. He also gave us plenty of helpful tips to use while we continue to train our puppy. We will definitely use Paul again!!

Paul took amazing care of boomer and I will be using him every time we travel. He is very professional and I know my pup had lots of play time. He kept sending photos which reassured me. Thanks Paul

Paul took excellent care of Stella, and we were especially grateful that he was available on a holiday.
Rachael S.-------VERIFIEDSTAY
Paul was great and very responsible and accommodating. We were a little worried leaving our 2 year old dog full of energy with someone but Paul was great with him! He checked in with us and sent pictures while we were away for 2 days. Our dog is full of energy and is still exhausted from staying at Paul’s! We will definitely consider using him in the future again if we need someone to watch Ryder.

great job
Kathy S.-----------VERIFIED STAY
Paul was great! This was the first time I left Nash overnight and was a little nervous. Nash did great! He happily went running into Paul's house and never looked back. Nash came home happy and tired on Sunday. Paul is very caring and you can tell he truly loves what he does. I am so happy to have found Paul. I look forward to using his services again. I feel completely comfortable leaving Nash in his care.
Thank you Paul!
Amanda L.------VERIFIED STAY
Our Meet & Greet went extremely well, so we booked a stay for Zeus and Shea with Paul and his pups for a weekend. We received photo updates the whole weekend, and Paul was very flexible to accommodate our drop-off/pick-up schedule. Our dogs came home happy and tired, a sure sign of a great weekend of fun!
Kym H.-------------VERIFD STAY
Paul took excellent care of my dog Molly. He took Molly for an extra long walk and emailed a photo of her to reassure me she was getting the best of care. Paul is knowledgeable and has a genuine love for dogs.
James O.---------VERIFIED STAY
Paul was terrific! Kept us updated during there stay with texts and pictures. He was also very flexible with the pick up time. I will definitely use Paul again when we need a sitter.
Paul C.-----------VERIFIED STAY
Paul is a great person and the ultimate dog lover. He has cared for my dogs for years. I have labs who have LOTS of energy and need lots of exercise. They would get so happy when Paul was here to take them for a walk, or for some play time. They always came back happy and exhausted. Dropping them with Paul when we went on vacation was always easy, because our dogs loved being with him. It was like they were going on their own vacation. I truly felt he loved my dogs almost as much as I did. I would recommend Paul to anyone who needs help watching, exercising, or even just walking their dogs.
