Happy Paws Pet Resort offers training classes to teach your new puppy or your old friend new talents and bring out their best canine intelligence and potential.
Meet our beloved Trainer - Saul Swinton
 Saul Swinton has been obedience training for over twenty years. During this time he has worked with pet owners to solve a great range of behavioral problems. After completing a degree in Animal Health Technology, he spent seven years as an Animal Health Technician, studying the health of animals and the effect of dog therapy on aggressive animals. In addition to training dogs, Saul is an instructor at The New York School of Dog Grooming. Saul has been able to teach students, who are interested in being potential groomers, how to groom and handle aggressive dogs.
One of Saul’s key strengths is his ability to demonstrate ways for owners to bond and create trusting relationships with their dogs, while still maintaining their sense of control. Saul will show you how to communicate effectively with your dog.
