WHO WE ARE

At Paws House, your dog doesn’t stay in a kennel — they live in our home, with our family and our 3 Malinois. 

We are:

Jenny – That’s me! A passionate and experienced dog trainer. I work with positive reinforcement, structure, and a lot of love (and cuddles). I’m a second mom to all the dogs who stay with us.

Ryan, my son – My daily partner and the dogs’ favorite play buddy.

Jim K9, my husband – A professional dog trainer with 30+ years of experience, and a mentor to many. He steps in for specific work like protection training when needed.

MEET THE FOUNDER

Hi! I'm Jenny – the heart (and the cuddles) behind Paws House. We moved to Florida in 2021, as a family, with our dogs, our cat and our suitcases… and most of all, a shared passion: our love for dogs. That passion came from my husband, my partner for over 30 years, who has always been truly devoted to dogs. He worked as a K9 handler in the army and police, and as an instructor, training both dogs and their handlers. In our home, dogs have always been a big part of our lives – and of our dreams. Over the years, working side by side with my husband, I learned, observed, practiced, and most importantly, I fell in love with this job. Slowly but surely, I found my own way, my own voice, and my own place in this beautiful world of dog training. Naturally, our daughter Lindsay and our son Ryan followed the same path. They now shares this beautiful adventure with us at Paws House. This project is the result of a lifelong passion, a love story  and a dream come true. And every dog who walks through our door becomes a little part of our family.

OUR TEAM

IKO - 12 years

The wise one. Gentle, observant, and a calming presence for everyone. After 8 years of loyal service in the French police, Iko now enjoys a peaceful retirement full of sunshine, cuddles, and well-deserved rest. 

SIMBA - 4 years

Simba is bursting with energy and enthusiasm. He is trained to an advanced level in obedience and protection. Always ready to work. His greatest passion? The ball, he could play day and night. He is a true model for the young dogs who cross his path.

LANA - 3 years

She’s an exceptional swimmer who could spend hours in the water if we let her. Gentle and affectionate, she thrives on human contact and cuddles. She’s also a fantastic role model for new dogs—calm, friendly, and incredibly balanced. Everyone loves Lana, and she seems to know it!
