Terry Cranendonk

It was Paul's patience, humor and compassion that enticed me into the world of dog training. His philosophy and approach are the foundation that supports my teaching. It's a philosophy that all dogs are living, breathing individuals no less worthy of respect and kindness than family and friends...because that is what they are.

"Training with Paul Owens was a revelation. Paul was clear, consistent, and supportive as a teacher, using the same positive reinforcements with me that we used with the dogs.  I was amazed how he made the complexities of psychology so easy to understand and how they could yield such immediate results.  Because of his patience, encouragement and sense of humor, I  confidently and joyfully continue to convey the message of kindness to my clients that he taught to me."

Having attended Paul Owens’ Raise with Praise, teacher-training program was one of the most enlightening experiences in my career. Not only has he improved my skills, he gave me the confidence I needed to run my own business. I consider myself very fortunate to have studied with someone with such expertise and who uses such humane methods with both dogs and people.  It has been, and remains, an honor working with him.

"While Paul's program educated me in the world of positive dog training and created abilities in me to form my own thriving company, he also somehow snuck in lessons about patience, perseverance and the ability to empower others with the skill. I am not only a better dog trainer because of his program, I am also a better dog owner, wife, and soon to be mother. His positive method spreads beyond his work with dogs to his life and the people around him. He is a man who practices what he preaches and anyone participating in his program will learn about themselves as much as they learn about positive dog training."
