See Spot Run

Our Coonhound/​Shepherd mix Annie has vacationed with Paul the past 3 yrs or so. When our family leaves the island on vacation, Annie has her own with her buddy Paul. He takes her and his other charges on long (and I do mean long — 3 – 4 mile) walks to Gazzam Lake or occasionally swimming at Pritchard Park. The dogs get exercised like this 3 or more times a day. He’s amazing.
When we pick Annie up after a week at Paul’s she is trim, happy and exhausted (in a good way).
I’ve been impressed with the respect all the dogs have for Paul. They sit nicely in his truck and walk easily on leash with 4 or more other dog friends. They get to lounge on his multiple couches when not exercising and have access to his large fenced backyard.
I knew Annie was in the right hands when Paul arrived at our home to pick Annie up on either our 2^nd or 3^rd stay w/​him, and without any encouragement, Annie ran to his truck and hopped right in. No hesitation.

When our dog Moondancer sees Paul he bolts… straight for Paul and his truck full of pups! He doesn’t even look back. I am certain that if he ran away it would be to move in with Paul. Paul is great with the dogs and always very accomodating with ferry schedules and odd drop off and pickup times. It really is great feeling confident that Paul has it all under control when we leave.

Paul Cohen is the man about town, always with a half dozen or so pups in tow.
Paul will come pick up your pup, take her out to play off leash and bring her home tired and happy.
The next trip might be to downtown Bainbridge for a civilized walk through Waterfront park and then a nice sit down in front of the bakery where your pup will get lots of sweet talk and love from passers-​by. A great thing for a dog who might be on the shy side, and need some socialization.
Occasionally, he throws ‘em all in his paw-​covered truck and takes the boat out to Magnusson park for an all day outing.
After many years in the hospitality industry, Paul decided to chuck it all and hang out with his doggie friends for a living.
He apprenticed himself to a local Seattle trainer to learn the ins and outs of the professional doggie world.
He obviously loves his work, and he loves the dogs. He is dedicated to making your dogs’ time with him the highlight of the day or week.
Paul’s professionalism and love of his work were good news for us, because our Ridgeback/​Pit Bull mix, Lola, is fierce with strangers who dare come onto her property. Paul was patient and handled her professionally and sensitively. He took his time getting to know her, and now they are best of friends.
Good boy, Paul.
