Not sure what to say?

Paul ranks up with my father He helped make me who I am as a dog trainer. He gave me credit for everything. I truly did love him. His dog knowledge was unmistakable and he shared with all. Rest In Peace Paul

I always loved and respected you And I always will What you gave me was priceless Thank you See ya in heaven

I was 12 when Paul first guided me with my retriever. My dad made the connection with Paul and there are many fond memories with Paul and my dad.

Good man! RIP Paul

Paul was an amazing dog trainer whom I had the pleasure of meeting when he was in California training at Prado Dog Training facility with Don and Janet Richardson say back in the day. At the time I was married to Paul Cacciatori who was recuperating from a broken back due to a car accident and Paul Shoemaker took lil Paul under his wing and trained him to train and "think " like a dog. We had the pleasure of enjoying Paul's time and absorbing his information like a sponge. When it was time...

I will never forget the sign on the front of the feed barn that read, "A dog is the only true love that money can buy". I worked for, and with Paul for a few years in the 60's and early 70's. Loved Paul and his ability with dogs.

Just checking in Paul sure your up there in Heaven with your old buddies talking dogs I think and speak of you often-I am down to only 1 dog now- I really miss our talks if it was in the kitchen or in the field.

It's been two and a half years since you left us and we still think of and talk about you often.....just the other day we were looking at blue paint and laughed and said 'what would Paul want?'
Hope you're having fun relaxing....and is it true, do All Dogs really go to Heaven? :)
Love you Paul.....Holly & Jack

Bill and I never actually got to meet Paul, but he was a significant part of our lives for the past 6 years. My husband,Bill, talked to Paul on the phone almost every day and misses him dearly. When we are driving home from a day of training and the phone rings, we both have a moment where we say, "That's probably Paul." Bill loved to discuss the ups and downs of dog training with Paul and valued his advice-- almost as much as his friendship. We miss you, Paul.

A boy and his toy :o)
