Meet our Founder: Ana Intriago

Ana Intriago is a respected dog trainer with a decade of experience, specializing in resolving behavioral issues in pets. She employs proven methods to assist her clients in creating well-behaved, happy, and balanced dogs. Ana’s expertise and dedication have earned her a strong reputation in the field, as she is committed to staying updated with the latest techniques and applying her extensive knowledge to foster strong bonds between dogs and their owners.

Ana's love for animals began at a young age. One of her first jobs was as a dog handler at a pet boarding facility. She then pursued careers as a pet groomer and veterinary assistant before discovering her true vocation in dog training. 

Throughout her career, Ana has gained firsthand experience in dealing with the problems that arise when pets do not receive adequate exercise. She has witnessed how this lack of activity can lead to behavioral issues, obesity, and overall health problems in dogs of all breeds. In North America, obesity is the most common preventable disease in dogs and according to the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention, more than 50% of dogs in the US are overweight.

To address this pressing issue, Ana established P.A.W.S. (Paws Around the World Services), a comprehensive program designed to promote responsible pet ownership, educate owners on the importance of exercise, and provide resources and support to ensure pets receive the physical activity they need for optimal health and well-being.

At the core of P.A.W.S.' innovative programming is a mobile dog gym that brings exercise opportunities right to your doorstep. This unique service allows pets to stay active in the comfort of an air-conditioned environment, using a low-resistance low-impact manual treadmill, and under the supervision of an enthusiastic pup fitness coach.

During the sessions, pets have the opportunity to walk or run at their own pace on specially designed, safe treadmills. This controlled environment ensures that pets can exercise safely and comfortably, on your schedule, and without the distractions or hazards often found outdoors.
