About Breaking Bad Confident K9 Training

Who runs it

Breaking Bad Confident K9 Training is Paul Dunlap. The site is built around his own account of starting the business, in his words, "when I felt like the world had already written me off" – he writes openly about time in prison and about finding common ground with "Broken, reactive, unwanted" dogs. Whether that framing lands for you or not, it is unusually clear about who you would be working with.

Method

Balanced, and the site says so plainly: "we use a balanced, no-nonsense approach focused on real-world results", with a stated philosophy that "every dog deserves a leader, not a negotiator". The site frames behavior problems as confusion rather than defiance and puts heavy weight on the owner's own handling, saying they build long-term results "by giving you the tools to maintain progress outside of sessions".

What they work on

The navigation lists obedience training, behavior modification, socialization, and what the site calls assertive reinforcement techniques. The body names leash reactivity, anxiety, aggression and basic obedience as the situations the programs are built for.

How you start

There is no fixed package list. The site recommends beginning with a free meet and greet, after which a program is matched to the dog, and states that no two dogs get the same plan.

Before you book

Ask about credentials, prices, how long the business has run and where training takes place.
