Police Dog Handling Experience
I'm Paul, the founder of Shannon K9 Control. With nearly 20 years as a Police Officer, I served as a General Purpose Dog handler policing the streets of Manchester. This experience gave me an unmatched understanding of canine behaviour, discipline, and the bond between handler and dog.
Now I bring that same calm, confident, and professional approach to every dog I work with — whether it's a nervous puppy on their first walk, a reactive dog that needs specialist handling, or a family pet needing obedience training.
I offer personalised 1-2-1 sessions from your home address, solo walks where your dog gets my full focus and attention, and dedicated daycare and boarding where I only accommodate one dog at a time — because quality always comes before quantity.
Take a look through our gallery to see real sessions with real dogs — from training breakthroughs to happy walkies. Every dog gets my full attention, and the results speak for themselves.

“I couldn't be more happy with the training! I feel confident in the training that has been done today and I no longer dread taking Elvis on a walk! I couldn't thank you enough for the service today! Also a very dedicated trainer as the weather today was awful. Thank you again!”

Training
“Paul provided an outstanding level of care for our dog and consistently went above and beyond our expectations. From the outset, he demonstrated professionalism, reliability, and genuine compassion. He ensured our dog was not only well looked after but also happy, comfortable, and engaged throughout our time away. We would not hesitate to recommend Paul to anyone seeking a trustworthy, dedicated, and highly capable caregiver. His service is exceptional.”

Boarding & Care
“I can't believe the difference in my dog Billy after just one session with Paul! As soon as the front door opens he's usually off like a steam train for the duration of the walk. After 10 minutes of Paul taking him, Billy was calm and not pulling (wasn't sure it was the same dog!). I can't wait to progress with his lead pulling and have Paul walk Billy when needed around our working hours. Billy loved Paul too!”
