Hi, I’m Paulina, owner and trainer at The Mannered Mutt. My journey into dog training began with my beloved dog, Chase, who inspired me to pursue this career. Originally from a small town in Michigan, I moved across the country with Chase, learning life’s challenges together.
In 2012, I became a Master Trainer and eventually opened The Mannered Mutt. I love helping clients create the same adventures I had with Chase for their dogs. When I’m not training, I enjoy spending time with my husband Kent, our eight dogs, three cats, and indulging in my love for coffee, house renovation shows, and beach camping.
That’s a bit of my story, and I can’t wait to hear yours!
We will text you back, and then we can set up a time to discuss how we can customize the best plan for your dog’s training, and help you get the results you are looking for!

“The Mannered Mutt has done an amazing job with my dog, Harvey. Harvey came in with basic obedience, but had so much energy, he was unwilling to listen. Harvey developed poor behaviors when interacting with other dogs, so I avoided taking him to places where other dogs would be. Paulina and staff not only got Harvey to listen much better, but I no longer have to worry about potential dog fights. Harvey now heels off leash and comes when called. He is also much calmer at home. I would recommend The Mannered Mutt to anyone. I would like to point out that even if your dog is no longer at the facility, Paulina will continue to treat you like a lifetime customer. You are not just getting training, but lifetime guidance. Thank you, Mannered Mutt.“
