About Paul’s Training Paws

Obedience training in Tampa

Paul's Training Paws is a Tampa dog obedience training business founded by Paul, an experienced trainer whose clients name him as Paul Tangorre. Paul traces his start to 2012, when a mentor taught him to train his chocolate lab, Riley Rae, and he credits that mentor, John, with the foundation of his work. The business counts 300+ dogs trained and 40+ dogs saved from surrender.

Method

Paul's Training Paws describes its methods as balanced, built on trust and an understanding of each dog's needs. Training is tailored to the dog's temperament, behavior and the family's dynamics.

Board and train

The core offering is a customized board and train system with no preset length: the dog trains for as long as its progress requires. After formal training ends, owners get tools, techniques and ongoing support. Clients also describe puppy work such as crate and potty training, obedience lessons, boarding and touch-up lessons.
