About Me
About Me
Hello and welcome to SPK9! My name is Paula Sharkey, and I am the proud owner and passionate dog trainer behind this venture. With over 10 years of experience in the world of canine training, my mission is to strengthen the bond between you and your furry companions while promoting a harmonious and happy relationship.
My journey into the realm of dog training began with my very own rescue pup, who taught me the transformative power of patience, understanding, and effective communication. Since then, I've been dedicated to helping dogs and their owners navigate behavioral challenges and achieve remarkable results.
At SPK9, I believe that every dog, no matter their challenges, deserves compassionate, tailored care. Specializing in behavioral support, we focus on creating positive outcomes for dogs dealing with anxiety, reactivity, or other unique needs. It's it’s more than dog sitting—it’s about providing expert care that gives you peace of mind and helps your dog thrive.
Beyond training, I am a fervent advocate for animal welfare and volunteer my time with a local search and rescue organization. I believe every dog deserves a chance to thrive and be their best self, and I am committed to making that a reality for as many dogs as possible.
Thank you for visiting SPK9! I look forward to working with you and your beloved canine companion on this exciting journey towards a well-behaved and happy life together.
