Shark & Paws K9 is a one‑person, behavior‑focused, wellness‑driven canine practice led by Paula Sharkey, an advanced canine behavior consultant with specialized certifications in K9 emergency care and pet nutrition. I integrate behavior science, trauma‑informed handling, and evidence‑based wellness to support dogs experiencing anxiety, reactivity, fear, and other complex behavioral needs.
Alongside behavior consulting, I provide structured, behavior‑informed pet‑sitting and drop‑in care for dogs who are often dismissed or declined by traditional services. My approach prioritizes safety, clarity, and individualized support—giving every dog competent, compassionate care and giving owners the freedom to live their lives without worrying their pet will be misunderstood or given up on while they’re away.
Shark & Paws K9 operates with a commitment to ethics, preparedness, and owner empowerment, offering tailored services that help dogs stabilize, learn, and thrive.
