Meet Darrian

Owner Darrian Smith

Meet Darrian Smith, the Lead Trainer and Owner at Paws and Parks. Darrian is an Atlanta native who found his passion with animals after finishing a football career. Personally, he has two emotional support animals in Husky and Shepard greyhound mix named Kyani and Iua. After spending multiple hours a day in local dog parks, Darrian became a regular within the community and saw a need that needed to be met. He often found that dog parents typically don’t have enough quality time to spend with their fur baby due to work and other commitments. “What if I could do something?” He then started Paws and Parks where he began picking up local dogs, then bringing them to his home for hours of play time. Before he knew it, he learned how to groom. Boom! Paws and Parks was created.
